I don't see the problem. It worked really well for Metroid Prime Hunters and, from what I hear, Kid Icarus (haven't played it yet).

It worked very well with Kid Icarus.

 

[starmud]

as good as this is sounding, its seeming very limited in audience reach, especially on a platform like the 3DS. it'll be fun to see what type of gamble their taking here.

 

[.la1n]

Love everything I am hearing and the people behind it have the pedigree to back it up. Can't wait to see this tomorrow.

 

[Graphics Horse]

so is this like a turn based strategy version of The Order but with aliens instead of werewolves?

 

[Unlucky]

<glass breaks>

*Stone cold entrance music*

Stone cold comes out, gives everyone a stunner. Holds up sealed copies of Metroid Dread and Majora's Mask 3d.

Can I live in your fantasy world

 

[Ashodin]

yes. steam powered units. awesomeeeeeee

 

[Hindl]

Everything I'm hearing

 

[Francokid1]

Getting a big erection.

Its sure getting steamy.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Oh well. Happy for those who were looking forward to something in this vein.

I'll watch the footage tomorrow before completely shrugging it off.

 

[Seik]

Getting a big erection.

 

[Riposte]

I'm talking about the mechanics not the surface details

VC is a sub-genre in itself. It is basically what would happen if you played an action game during your turn. There shouldn't be one series with that and IIRC I think there have been previous games with that kind of mechanics before VC.

 

[Timmy00]

Holy crap STEAM sounds cool as hell. I wanna see gameplay of it so bad

 

[JasonUresti]

How do we know this is Miyamoto?

I don't think it is, that might still be yet to come.

 

[victreeb3l]

Too lazy to follow everything right now so I cant wait to see it on the Treehouse tomorrow.

I'm not really into SRPGs but I'm eager to check this out.

 

[WarpathDC]

Can I live in your fantasy world

Haha yup its fun inside. We play Shenmue 3 on Fridays too.

 

[Puru]

Are you implying that a pad would have better control than a stylus though? It's not like Mouse is an option on 3ds

I personally liked the feeling of fps with a pad over the metroid DS style, but if you take in account the 3DS hardware it might indeed be for the best to go with the stylus aiming so that's actually true, it's a wise choice all in all.
I guess it's just me reminding myself of Metroid on DS, which left me a bad taste.

Anyway it looks interesting, sounds like VC which i liked and that's pretty much all i care about, time to go sleep and wait for some footage tomorrow if i got that right.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

This steam motif, though...

 

[Oersted]

Nintendo: we don't pay attention to what our competitors do. Except when they make games we want to copy.

:/

Indeed, wrong quote

 

[Heroman]

Hyper hype

 

[shadyspace]

Oh well. Happy for those who were looking forward to something in this vein.

I'll watch the footage tomorrow before completely shrugging it off.

I can't even make sense of this.

 

[Gruco]

This is exactly why people follow E3 news so closely, and get so excited about the possibility of new announcements. Every once in a while, you hear about something glorious you never would have seen coming, and couldn't have imagined if you tried.

And Nintendo just did it twice

No matter how much time I spent thinking about E3, a paintball shooter with squids and a IS steampunk TBS/action hybrid were nowhere on anyone's radar.

 

[SykoTech]

"We wanted to come up with a system that was nonlinear. So we came up with action points which quantifies how much a unit can move and the speed they can move."

Seriously, isn't that exactly like Valkyria? Very disingenuous if so.

To a tee.

 

[Fuzzification]

I....would be okay with that.

Copy Jet Set Radio next, Nintendo. And Classic Sonic.

And F-Zero. >.>

 

[HawthorneKitty]

EVERYTHING IS STEAM!

 

[DXLelouch153]

so Valkyre ChroniclesXFire EmblemXAdvance WarsX Xcom
sweet jesus

 

[daydream]

Oh well. Happy for those who were looking forward to something in this vein.

I'll watch the footage tomorrow before completely shrugging it off.

How generous of you, lol.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

How long has it been since Nintendo released a new IP that was an RPG?

Mother, Star Tropics, PokéMon, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun...it's been a long time.

 

[alfredofroylan]

If they're fans of Valkyria Chronicles (and let's face it, the IS guys most likely did play VC since they're strategy rpg fans) -- why wouldn't Nintendo work with Sega on developing a new IP with the VC team instead? Seems kinda lame to copy their game...

I can't recall properly but it seems that Sony at some point something to do with the Valkyris Ip, in fact the anime was produced by Aniplex wich is a company owned by Sony.

Nintendo Life &#8207;@nintendolife 31s

Characters wear backpack-boilers, with a certain number of little puffs of steam that power both movement & attacks each turn #E3

 

[m_shortpants]

This looks cool I guess...

But I was looking forward to MM

Freaking troll Nintendo with Zelda Williams....

 

[Ashodin]

ooh your turn isnt over unless you get spotted, NICE strategic layer

 

[Wyndstryker]

The OP just needs the following info.

Intelligent Systems
Valkyria Chronicals gameplay
Aliens
Abraham Lincoln
Steampunk

Thats it.

 

[Rigalo]

So fire emblem?

 

[adg1034]

Jason Schreier &#8207;@jasonschreier 1m
If you've ever wanted a 3DS steampunk Valkyria Chronicles where Abraham Lincoln commands you to fight aliens, boy is tonight your night

.

 

[EightBitNate]

Maybe slow down with the comparisons, guys?

 

[Respawn]

Man if it's Metroid.. hoo

I really hope it is.

 

[Barrylocke]

"If you are spotted while exploring, your move (steam consumed) is locked in."

So conversely, if you AREN'T spotted, you can redo your movements to find a more optimal solution?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Damn, I don't wanna be in a bad idea.

 

[JasonUresti]

To a tee.

Action points have been in game for decades.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Getting a big erection.

 

[SCReuter]

Wish it wasn't turn-base...

 

[Neiteio]

So it's basically the most cherished Sega IP of the past 10 years, combined with Fire Emblem/Advance Wars, set in steampunk London, with superhero agents led by Abraham Lincoln, fighting aliens from outer space, with a comic book style, no overhead map, and third-person shooting.

Basically.

 

[Scoops]

How long has it been since Nintendo released a new IP that was an RPG?

Mother, Star Tropics, PokéMon, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun...it's been a long time.

Xenoblade/The Last Story?

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

So the rest will mostly be a Q&A?

Spoiler

I'm a selfish little shit that wants this AND a Metroid reveal

 

[Kouichi]

.

Finally.

 

[Shantom]

as good as this is sounding, its seeming very limited in audience reach, especially on a platform like the 3DS. it'll be fun to see what type of gamble their taking here.

The last Intsys SRPG on 3ds sold over a million.

I predicted Advance Wars 3DS, but I guess this will do just fine
