View Full Version : Nanostray for DS!
Has anyone else seen this. It comes out this month and I had not heard a word of it. It looks like a great game. I think this is another game for my DS list. The Damn System (DS). What do you guys think?

Cmtz, you seem to have a knack for getting to the party late LOL The topic you seek should only be a page back or so. Complete with pictures!
Sorry. :embarrassed: I guess this gets locked.

Oh yeah i've been looking forward to that game. I don't really have any handheld shmups and that one looks great. I forgot it came out this month though. Do you know what day it comes out? If its next week I might get it instead of coded arms.

a great example of good looking game that should be fun but doesn't really need the second screen. from what i uderstand of the game you use the second bottom screen to select weapons (imo that doesn't really need a second screen or touch control) Still all in all being a shmup fan I hope that its good and I'll be looking to pick it up if it is.

i don't think it looks that good. I want a 2D vertical scroller that simply uses both screens as one extended vertical screen and no touchscreen usage

I thought about that too but then i thought that going from one screen to the next would kill you often. unless your fighter stayed on the bottom screen only. i don't really see the DS as a SHMUP platform.

Exactly!!! The could use the double screens to simulate TATE mode. And bring us a Cave or Psikyo collection in full glory!!!

it does what it does well, but moving your hand off the face buttons to hit the touchscreen to change weapons is a complete hinderance, not to mention the buttons on the screen are really small. I'm sure theres a million different control schemes, but I've got a feeling this will fall by the wayside as another average DS title.

I love using the touchscreen. Im hoping you have to move your ship by sliding the stylus and have to tap the screen to shoot.
:P

I hope it is good, because it looks good! but I will be waiting for reviews on this before I pick it up. Also it looks pretty difficult. Whats the release date? 13th right?
