Cubic Ninja promoted in appropriately shallow manner

by JC Fletcher on Mar 7th 2011 11:00PM

In what we're guessing is a clumsy, hamfisted attempt to demonstrate the game's universal appeal, AQ Interactive posted a clip of women playing the depth-free 3DS title Cubic Ninja. We suppose the video is pretty depth-free too.

In addition to footage of the ladies being delighted by the tilt-controlled action game, and, uh, some guys looming over them, you can see a few seconds of gameplay from the stylish, geometric game, during which the ninja is guided through flame traps and bumpers.

Cubic Ninja showed up as an upcoming North American release in the software lineup video released at Nintendo's New York event in January, though listed publisher Ubisoft hasn't made any announcements itself. However, we have no reason to believe Ubisoft would hesitate to release another 3DS game after the eight it has planned for the launch window.

I'm 12.
What is this?

@Who is Tom Clancy
A commercial where people are absolutely amazed by the fact that they can tilt a thing.

@Who is Tom Clancy Girls. Give it another year or two and you'll figure it out.

@Who is Tom Clancy
the guys this this video are clearly more interested in looking down that girls shirt

It didnt seem to me that the tilting had any kind of corresponding gameplay element in that video.

Screen images simulated much?

I'll bet having to constantly keep my eyes aligned in the "zone" or whatever would be really freakin' annoying with a game like that.

@Frostblade10

Game doesn't use 3D

@ForeverAndEver

Tuna roll.

What is the deal with captions on screen constantly during Japanese television? Is everything over there like video lolcats?

The DS was originally supposed to be Nintendo's 3rd platform. It seems that tilty/buttonless phone games have taken that role and maybe nintendo wants a piece. I'll pass on this. I want the 3ds for good games I can't get for free on my droid.
