Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Nami Tentou Mushi, developer of Ping 1.5+, is planning a new first-person shooter for the Wii U eShop.
Just a few details about the mystery title have been shared thus far. Nami Tentou Mushi hopes to support sixteen players online, while local multiplayer will allow five players to battle it out. It will be possible to create levels through a “Grid” system, and there will be eight characters to choose from with unique traits, weapon sets, and more. Expect over-the-top-styled gameplay as well as “zany” items and match-changing items.
Nami Tentou Mushi shooter will sport cel-shaded visuals. Due to its violence and language, it should be an “M” rated game.
Watch a teaser trailer for the new FPS – tentatively going by the name #SECRETPROJECT – below.
