Shin'en announce Nano Assault for the 3DS

We were wondering when developers Shin'en were going to turn their attentions to the 3DS and now, finally, they've revealed they're working on Nano Assault.

The game is a fast-paced shooter which leaps off the screen with stunning 3D graphics that resemble electron microscope imagery. It's within this dangerous microscopic world that players will navigate a Nanite ship through a cellular system, maneuvering through alien cell clusters, fighting off infections, and analyzing and destroying the virus' core to ultimately save humanity.

"Nano Assault's inspired visual style looks fantastic and is perfectly suited for 3D," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment. "The game is a fresh approach to the classic shooter, featuring a unique theme, solid depth of play and tight controls. I think this game is going to surprise a lot of people."

In Nano Assault, players blast their way through 32 twisted cell stages and dark worlds with rugged landscapes that adjust in difficulty based on the player's skill level. Prepare to battle and defeat extreme nemeses including the Black Nucleus, Hyper Blobs and Spore Plants using powerful beams, energetic bombs and other unlockable assault weapons. To ensure successful missions, players can clone and respawn themselves to continue the journey anytime. Special features include Missions Mode, an unlockable arcade style cell stage where players must beat the clock by destroying the most enemies, and Hall of Fame, a bragging rights leaderboard where players can publish and compare high level scores with friends. Additionally, players will be able to use the Street Pass feature to trade unlocked content.

Nano Assault for Nintendo 3DS is expected to release this later this year.
