OMG Doctrine Dark

Arika, makers of such games as Forever Blue and (going way back) Street Fighter EX, has opened up a gallery page consisting of 3D screenshots that can be viewed on your 3DS.

Access the page here. The various images can be saved in MPO format and placed on your 3DS for 3D viewing.

So what exactly are we looking at here? The page says that this is just a "test" corner for 3DS, so it's unclear if this is a new fighting game from the studio or if it's just an internal demo.

If you own a 3DS, you've likely already been exposed to Arika's work on the platform. The studio handled the 3D Classics remakes for Excitebike and Xevious. The former is available as a free download off the Nintendo e-Shop for a limited time.

The Hash DS

legbone · Jul 1, 2011

the hash ds has a built in scale on the touchscreen for weighing product.

The M.O.B · Jul 1, 2011

Well this looks quite ugly, you would think a tech demo would look a lot better than this.

Big One · Jul 1, 2011

Oh god, awesome. Please make this into a real game.

abstract alien · Jul 1, 2011

That's pretty interesting. Maybe something good will come of this...

Foffy · Jul 1, 2011

#DS? Did the 3DS tank already?

But seriously, I hope a game comes out of this.

Hashing aside, I'd buy a new fighter from them.
This looks pretty good.

But I'd fucking love Skullomania and Garuda in 3D

Thank goodness, for a second I though that was pretty pathetic for 3DS. Looks decent if that is an iPhone game though. Even street fighter iphone doesn't have 3d backgrounds.

Gravijah · Jul 1, 2011

Somehow, I read the title as Arksys, thought Arc System Works and then became confused.

Father_Brain · Jul 1, 2011

They do look pretty good on the 3DS display, though the depth is a bit excessive in a few.

CO_Andy · Jul 1, 2011

D. Dork, and Blair!

These guys would blend perfectly well with new age Street Fighter.

BDGAME · Jul 1, 2011

The graphics can look ugly, but the 3D is fucking awesome. A lot better than the street IV 3D.

I hope someday akira launch a 3DS game with a 3D as good as this game.

sk3tch · Jul 1, 2011

I've noticed these guys have been involved in a lot of 3DS stuff...they did Excitebike and Bust-A-Move just off of the top of my head. Not sure where I'm going with this but it is interesting. They're not exactly an Ubisoft or EA and the 3DS doesn't exactly have a huge library yet these little guys are all over it.

Oh, you meant 3ds >.<

That doesn't surprise me. Arika has done several excellent ports in the past.

Emperor Bohe · Jul 1, 2011

They need to make a new fighting game with all of the SFEX exclusive characters.

Arika is really good studio, one of the best developers/publishers out there.

Sammy Samusu · Jul 1, 2011

Not interested, don't waste time on non-sense cellphone projects!

I need Endless Ocean 3DS in my life, like, right now. Let's do this Arika.

Right. I wasn't saying they are bad or anything. They just don't come off as a big name to me and they seem to be pretty involved in the 3DS. Does anyone know why? Do they focus on portable titles?

Well, there is this...

Not all of them but you do get two...

Why would you do that? · Jul 1, 2011

If you use the 3DS's web browser, you can view the 3D photos without downloading them and putting them on your 3DS.

Probably due to the cheaper development cost and I don't think they really have the resources to produce cutting edge visuals that would rival larger studios.

TreIII · Jul 1, 2011

Aw, boo. Don't play with my heart this way, Arika. You know I've been jonesin for a Fighting Layer sequel for quite a while! Get Craft & Meister's help again (they worked together for Super DBZ) if you gotta!

klee123 · Jul 1, 2011

Man, I'd love to see a SF EX4.

sixteen-bit · Jul 1, 2011

I've got to say, Fighting Layer did some really impressive things with motion blur for a game from 1998.

Busaiku · Jul 1, 2011

How about Rival Schools vs Arika.

All of the above. And get on that Super DBZ2 too.

Eh, the Arika rep is right. This isn't that hot looking visually. Looks about DS level visually and oh god the music is raping my ear holes. D:

Needs more Cracker Jack.

Truth101 · Jul 11, 2011

It's a game made for a cell phone, nothing to do with the 3DS.

Ah, that explains it. My last reference point was the Andriasang article.

Someone translated the description and it's actually a April Fool's joke that was made on the PC.

This game needs to materialize as a 3DS game. I'm sure Arika has learned a lot about 3D fighters by now.
