Nanostray 2

Aeropause checks out the new trailers for Nanostray 2 and gives some opinions on them and the game itself.

October 05, 2007 You know, despite all our fancy graphics cards and online this and emergent gameplay that, there's still nothing that delivers instant, adrenaline-injecting action quite like a good sci-fi shooter. The controls are simple, the goals are instantly understandable - shoot EVERYTHING - and the threats to your life are so constant, so obvious, that there's no time to be bored. That's why we're excited about the remarkably good looking DS shooter, Nanostray

Nanostray 2 has had quite a rough ride. The brilliant-looking sequel to the scrolling shoot-'em-up that launched in the early days of the DS has suffered one delay after another, but it finally looks like it's on the way.

Unfortunately while you can use Wi-Fi to upload your high scores to a worldwide leaderboard this time around, the game will still rely on local co-operative multiplayer.But Shin'en has added the new and promised touch screen control system. Apparently this will make for a completely new experience, and if it's one you don't like, you can always switch back to the Classic Control scheme...

Shin'en Multimedia today announced the development of Nanostray 2 for the Nintendo DS. Nanostray 2 is the sequel to the Shoot 'em up Nanostray which has been successfully released in America, Europe and Japan.
