Liveblog thread for 3DS new Nintendo IP announcement (Code Name STEAM)

The description from NWR makes it sound like my little cousin designed this game.

"There's these good guys, and one of them is a lion, and they all look like comic characters and were recruited by president Lincoln, and then there's the alien bad guys, and they look like out of Lovecraft but can use guns too."
 
So ... we can see some footage of it some point this week, right? Right?



Yeah, I agree. Just noting that it's one thing to say "you can't just grind!" and other things about how the game "will work" when players will find the optimal things to do that may or may not be intended.



My math is ready~~~

tomorrow, at the treehouse live.
 
I feel, as many others in this thread probably do, that Nintendo scanned my brain and then made a game targeted just for me.

Kirby? Mignola? Lovecraft? Strategy? Silly fun Silver Age comic scenario? Is this the really real world?
 
So this is an Intelligent Systems game that involves a turn based strategy framework with third-person shooter moment-to-moment gameplay in which the player is instructed by Abraham Lincoin to defend their steampunk world from Lovecraftian aliens.

Steampunk Lincoln VS. Ice Cthulhu. TBS/TPS Hybrid. Intelligent systems. My god. If this summary showed up on a fake leak list we'd laugh the poster who shared it all the way back to /v/.

Also, it is really cool to me that they're drawing from new outside influences. I wish the mario or zelda teams would look to other works for new inspiration. So much strange stuff in the world that would make amazing worldbuilding material for a fantasy game.
 
The Ripper sounds like a pretty violent alien based on its name, but hard to judge considering it's a Nintendo game and not shown to everyone yet. Treehouse tomorrow will be amazing, assuming we get nothing released until then.
