Prope, Sonic creator Yuji Naka's studio, announced their brand new title!
This will be 3rd "real" console game since he left Sega to be independant in 2006.
He went for a more casual audience with the fun party game Let's Tap (Wii) and some other iPhones and Wiiware titles.
He played with sidescrolling action and arcad-ysh concepts with the amazing Ivy the Kiwi? (DS, Wii).
Now he's gonna make another arcade inspired title, a rail shooter quite inspired by Sin and Punishment I'm guessing from the first screens.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier.
Some even say this game seems to take a bit from NiGHTS (Saturn).
Though it has a distinctive anime orientation the Saturn classic didn't had.
Now, enough talk, time for some pics:
Prope's objective is to make games that appeals to kids and adults at the same time and to explore both 3D and 2D game mechanics.
The on-rail shooter is a nice idea for their first real "big" game.
Here's the official trailer:
It will be out later this year on both the Wii and Nintendo's DS in 3D! (ah!)
Also, expect more from Prope!
Yuji Naka will be revealing his first game for PS3/360 at some later point
