Nintendo is working with Platinum Games on a new strategy/action game that looks to be a breath of fresh air for gamer's bombarded by endless FPS's, sports games and "open world" clones. Platinum Games has made a name for themselves for both hardcore games as well as unique content. The gameplay seems to be a mix of Pikmin & Bayonetta. If that sounds interesting and bizarrely awesome, join the club. The game utilizes the WiiU Gamepad's touch control for strategically "building" your team into different forms of defense against attacking alien invaders. These forms of defense include a sword & dragon constructed of multiple characters bringing to mind an almost Voltron vibe. The game is being designed by Hideki Kamiya who is responsible for some of the most unique and inventive action/adventure games of the last 15 years. His director credits include:
Bayonetta - 2009
Okami - 2006
Viewtiful Joe - 2003
Devil May Cry - 2001
Resident Evil 2 - 1998
With a track record that amazing, I personally can't wait for this game scheduled for release within the WiiU "Launch Window". WiiU is set to have a varied and strong launch lineup ranging from Batman to Pikmin to Mario sprinkled with even a couple -GASP- new IP's. Go Nintendo!!!
