Release Date is To be announced.
 
Graphics look meh. I mean I like the cartoony artstyle but everything just looks flat with no detail. I like the Armadillo guy.
Imagine if there was a big animal mascot revival! Not remakes of old mascot games, but new ones like this Armadillo guy and others!
 
So it's like a tower defence action adventure? Sold. I'd prefer it to be a fully fledged retail release, but for the right price I'm there regardless.
 
It looks like EAD"s new IP. From the Spirit Tracks DS team at that. Look at the engine, link's yelp, and the heart energy meter.

But we shall wait for confirmation.
 
Is it okay if I bumped this?

Just curious but is it confirmed Nintendo is the developer? Cause this is simply an awesome looking game
 
I think I saw some small passing resemblences to Little King's Story, for example collecting items like "Manju Grass" and the style of the notifications used.

Very interested to see who's behind this

It's a weird tower defense/action rpg mashup from the looks of it. I'm intrigued.

Also appears to be using the WW engine.

Yeah, the gameplay looks pretty interesting... I've had ideas for a game like this. All the people who say Nintendo has no new IPs should definitely be checking this out.

Yeah, definitely. The main character definitely has a "mascot" quality.

Too bad it's 3DSWare and probably will never be a huge hit.
 
This feels like the type of game the DS Zelda team wanted to make but didn't get a chance due to hardware limitations. The overworld is very reminiscent of something you'd see in Spirit Tracks only you can move your character and whatnot like in a 3D Zelda.
 
Darn. Something in the back of my mind told me this was not going to have the typical Nintendo look to it. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Other than Zelda HD, I guess Nintendo is averse to anything mildly sorta-kinda-maybe realistic looking.
 
It doesn't look too bad, but the environments look a little bit too drab. It doesn't look like a place that's fun to explore.
 
Holy crap, he looks exactly the same as the mascot character in Pocket Monsters Diamond/Telefang:

Sure it looks like a Sandshrew...

The game itself actually looks kind of fun.

It's more like Sandshrew looks similar to an armadillo.
