Though the list of upcoming titles for the Nintendo 3DS appears all-inclusive of the industry's many genres, we can't help but notice a few vital deficiencies. Take, for instance, the touch-and-tilt-based mystery-adventure genre -- where's that on the list? It's not there yet, but Capcom is looking to rectify that oversight with
Nazo Waku Yakata, a game spearheaded by
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence director Minoru Nakai and
Okamiden scenario writer Yukinori Kitajama.
According to
Siliconera, the game is a point-and-click adventure reminiscent of Acclaim's 1995 3DO
adventure title D. It's set in a creepy mansion, where players can look around rooms using the 3DS' gyro sensor and interact with objects using the touch screen. Players can also talk to characters using the microphone, ensuring you won't be able to play it in public without risking great humiliation. It's due out in Japan this summer -- we've got our fingers crossed for a speedy localization.
Or, you know, a
ny kind of localization.
