More RTS For Nintendo DS

Real time strategy lovers will be happy with the current trends in game development on the Nintendo DS. After Eco Creatures comes SteamIron: The Fallen.

Nexon Mobile and Mikoishi today announced a new partnership to release a new Real Time Strategy (RTS) game for 3G mobile phones. SteamIron: The Fallen will be released by Nexon Mobile in South Korea from November 2007 as part of a new multi-title joint development partnership deal between the Korean publisher and Singapore-based game development studio.

But that's not all. SteamIron: The Fallen is the first installment in Mikoishi's SteamIron franchise. SteamIron is an epic cross-platform sci-fi fantasy that plays out over multiple installments on both handheld and PC platforms. The story begins on 3G mobile with SteamIron: The Fallen with future installments planned for mobile, Nintendo DS culminating in a PC MMOG scheduled for release in 2009. Cross-platform gameplay and community features are planned and will be announced in 2008.

"SteamIron: The Fallen was designed specifically to cater to the massive RTS fan base in Korea." said Alex Goatcher, Chief Creative Officer for Mikoishi. "In the past, RTS games have been tried on mobile but have failed due to the lack of cooperative and competitive gameplay. Network technology and handsets were not able to support real-time competitive gameplay. Now with Theatre, our advanced online gaming technology, RTS games can now be played in a swift, fair, and controlled mobile environment." concluded Goatcher.
