Code Name: STEAM's lineup of literary characters keeps growing crazier. GameXplain got more hands-on time with the game, and said new characters include Queequeq from "Moby Dick," Scarecrow from "The Wizard of Oz," and Randolph Carter, a recurring character in the horror mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.
Again, I repeat, this is an Intelligent Systems game, a Nintendo title, where you can play as Randolph Carter. Complete with alien body from "Through the Gates of the Silver Key."
They join other characters such as African-American folk hero John Henry, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Henry Fleming of "The Red Badge of Courage," Tiger Lily of "Peter Pan," the Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz," and Tom Sawyer from, well, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."
There was also another character shown, a girl simply called "The Fox," but Nintendo is keeping her concept under wraps. Perhaps she's a clever twist on a literary character or historical figure? More likely, she's something original. GameXplain speculates, due to the Mexican flag, she's a Zorro character (Spanish for "Fox"). A female Zorro -- hence why they might be coy with her identity.
At any rate, how the fuck is this a Nintendo game? Amazing.
Also, Queequeg has explosive robot penguins.
