Veteran studio Treasure - the team behind the amazing Sin and Punishment: Star Successor - has confirmed that it is working on a 3DS exclusive.

Speaking to UK magazine gamesTM, Treasure CEO Masato Maegawa revealed the exciting news:

"We are making a new game on Nintendo 3DS now. Not multiplatform, but exclusive to 3DS."

When asked if it was an action title, Maegawa responded in the affirmative.

Founded in 1992 by former Konami staffers, Treasure's library of titles is packed with classics, such as Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Alien Soldier, Guardian Heroes, Bangai-O and Ikaruga.

Kid Icarus may face tough competition.

Please be Sin & Punishment 3D. PLEASE.

Sushigod7 · Oct 31, 2012

Count me in! Good news.

Didn't they make some 2D shooting 'Gradius' style game already for 3DS or am I confused with someone else?

Skiesofwonder · Oct 31, 2012

I would say Star Fox, but Platinum is already working on that. AMIRITE?

Aostia · Oct 31, 2012

Yes!
I really hope this can be a competitor to Kid Icarus in terms of gameplay and quality (not longevity of course)

Brazil · Oct 31, 2012

All aboard!

Cymbal Head · Oct 31, 2012

Stretch Panic 3D.

When asked if it was an action title, Maegawa responded in the affirmative.

Does Treasure make anything else? Serious question.

the designer of Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun made a 3DS shop shooter/puzzler that is JPN exclusive.

hopefully this is less like those aforementioned games and more like Gunstars/Alien Soldier.

Mischief Makers 2!

Gameplay-wise, Kid Icarus is an absolute joke compared to Sin & Punishment 2. Going from the latter to the former is like going from college straight back into kindergarten.

omg I read S&P 3DS

Sophia · Oct 31, 2012

The idealistic believer in me wants me to believe that this is a new Starfox game in the style of Star Fox 64, but only bigger, better, and crazier.

I SHALL HOPE.

The Main Event · Oct 31, 2012

A new Gunstar Heroes in the vain of the Genesis one please.

Gunstarheroes · Oct 31, 2012

Not that my username wouldn't indicate this, but i am super excited for this. Please don't let it be a port. Its been too long since we've had a new Treasure game. I'm there day one.

ActStriker · Oct 31, 2012

yesss

dallow_bg · Oct 31, 2012

New game?
Finally.

vdlow · Oct 31, 2012

Choo-Choo! All aboard the hype train!

JordanLMiller · Oct 31, 2012

More Treasure is always good news!

Note to all game designers: do not create a game where you use your left hand for movement and the stylus for aiming. Your game will be shit.

Sincerely, world

Not a problem anymore with the stand. However, it would be vastly preferable to make them home console games from the get-go instead.

Uncle0wnage · Oct 31, 2012

Wario world 3ds?

FUCK
YEAH

I can't use the stand because I don't carry a table with me to play video games.

It's a retail game, actually. Kokuga.

My left hand is not ready.

Tain · Oct 31, 2012

Hope it's good! Treasure isn't very consistent.

BriBri · Oct 31, 2012

What a great couple o' days for Japanese 3DS owners.

Father_Brain · Oct 31, 2012

Hopefully something that'll actually be localized...

donkey show · Oct 31, 2012

They're working on my dream sequel to...

Omegasquash · Oct 31, 2012

Working with Konami to develop Gradius 6 3D. BELIEVE.

Day 1, dont care what it is.

a game with just the aerial section of KI (so basically a S&P game) with that control scheme would be simply perfect.

of course, for left handed players they should offer a left hand option

Which of their games haven't been localized?

Sammy Samusu · Oct 31, 2012

Star Fox

mocolostrocolos · Oct 31, 2012

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

Tain · Oct 31, 2012

if this winds up being one of Treasure's few great games i'mma need a 3DS with video-out

Rakugaki Showtime.

pswii60 · Oct 31, 2012

Of all developers, Treasure certainly don't need an introduction. Not sure why the thread title has one.

Ushojax · Oct 31, 2012

Sin and Punishment 3D would be mind blowing.

jj984jj · Oct 31, 2012

I hope it's not an anime license after their last Bleach game.

Daschysta · Oct 31, 2012

3DS kicking ass lately!

No, it would be awful. And I'm right handed.

Hopefully they make a 2D side scroller and don't try putting Sin & Punishment in to an awful control scheme.

fixed.

Retro_ · Oct 31, 2012

If it's another fucking Bangai-O game I swear to god Treasure...

Tain · Oct 31, 2012

Seriously. I would be pretty disappointed.

Fabrik · Oct 31, 2012

Excellent. The sooner developers realize 3DS is going to dominate the better.

Right? That seemed like an odd specification. Its fuckin Treasure, king of quirky action games. Who on NeoGaf doesn't know these guys
