First Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! screenshots
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
Nintendo Power has published the first images from “Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!”. A couple of screenshots and two pieces of art can be found above.
According to WayForward, the Adventure Time 3DS/DS project will contain adventure gameplay. The studio considered making it a puzzle-platformer or brawler, but thought that it wouldn’t be true to the show’s title.
WayForward designer Matt Bozon said the team “decided that something like Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link was the common ground.”
He added:
“Because of this our top-view areas focus on quests and exploration, and the side view combines combat with platforming.”
More information can be found in the July 2012 issue of Nintendo Power.
