About this game
In Pooyan , you play the role of a pig, protecting its piglets from wolves.
The first screen takes place near the pigs' home.

Pig rides up and down in a cable car, shooting at wolves, who are riding balloons downward, towards the ground.
If the wolves land safely on the ground, then they can climb a ladder, near the cable-car, and catch Mrs.
But if she shoots their balloons, they splat on the ground instead.
The wolves shoot acorns at the pig.
Pig has a food-based weapon too.
If she gets to the top, she can get meat, to toss at the wolves and make them jump off their balloons in pursuit.
Each wolf taken out this way is worth bonus points (on a doubling scheme: 400, 800, 1600...) The second scene takes place at the wolves' lair.
Here the wolves have reinforced balloons--it takes multiple hits to make them fall.
Here they float upwards toward a big rock, which they push on top of Mrs.
Pig, when seven wolves are present.
Additionally, an alpha wolf (wolf leader) appears and summons wolves in packs.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Pooyan for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pooyan to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 1982.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Pooyan — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
