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

I called this about 15 pages ago that people were hyping themselves up for something the 3DS wouldn't be able to do visually... The game doesn't look that bad, it looks like an average 3ds title.
 
''Michael "TYP" Cole:
Q: Is code name steam why we haven't gotten a new advance wars? A: nonononono. We are always thinking about the next iteration of AW and FE. Teasing they will reveal info on those later when they are ready''

SHIT! O_O

Michael "TYP" Cole: Q: similarities to valk. Chronicles. Was the team influenced by that game?

Michael "TYP" Cole: A: yes, the lead developer likes that game. But it wasn't an inspiration. That game is a trafitional strategy game, and players rely on the overhead map/view. Not really a shooter. Nintendo & IS wanted the shooter like gameplay to be integral and not a facade.

daaaaaamn
 
They're 3DS screenshots, wtf's wrong with you guys? 3DS screenshots are the biggest lie in gaming's history, they are nothing like seeing the game on the system by yourself, NOTHING.
 
Really really not sold on this.

Was hoping for majoras mask.

Was hoping for a new Metroid to finally get some use out of my 3DS after Zelda, but you can't win them all.

A lot of people in this thread seem pleased by this announcement, so I'm guessing people that aren't RTS fans are in the minority on GAF.

What in the what now. RESPECT-TO-YOUR-ANCESTORS HYPE DEFLATING.
 
Please don't judge the game with those pics, you can barely see anything, wait for the trailer.

The art style looks nice, and I bet the game is going to look amazing.

I really couldn't give a fuck what this game looks like, graphically speaking.

Fire Emblem/Advance Wars Developer making a game with Hirano doing the soundtrack, and it's a steam punk valkyria chronicles type game where you fight HP lovecraftian aliens in a team created by Abraham Lincoln?

Yeah... really fucking worried about the graphics in this one. /s


FUCK YEAH SMTXFE ON TRACK
 
Michael "TYP" Cole:
Q: Has this impacted development on the FExSMT game.
A: nonononono. They are on schedule.

Eeeeeeeexcellent. All is well.
 
Damn did they just confirm a future AW?

7:08:03 PM PDT The sound you are hearing is the english language buckling under the weight of that.
 
visual style is ok.. granted I am enough of a comic nerd to have built up kirby x mignola way too much in my head. still will reserve judgment until I see it on treehouse. to say that I am extremely curious is an understatement. kudos to nintendo for bringing something in from completely left field.
Yeah, they shouldn't have said Jack Kirby x Mike Mignola, it set my expectations too high, lol
