Code Name S.T.E.A.M Announced For Nintendo 3DS Coming 2015

We heard earlier today that a big Nintendo 3DS title was going to be showcased today at 6pm. Well that game is Code Name S.T.E.A.M. The title is set in the steam age and everything within the city is steam-powered, from drawbridges to trains. The game is cell shaded and we should get an official look at it tomorrow. The game is developed by Histoshi Yamagami who has worked on the Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles and Pokemon series. Code Name S.T.E.A.M is a strategy title produced by Intelligent System.

  • Mr. Yamagami wants to “find a way to introduce more people to strategy games & have them fall in love w/ them the way I have”
  • CodeNameSTEAM uses action elements from shooters to enhance both movement and attacking.
  • CodeNameSTEAM uses the unique touch screen features of the Nintendo 3DS to create an intuitive control system.
  • Mr. Yamagami says that CodeNameSTEAM is a turn based strategy game with a variety of unique features
  • The fighters in CodeNameSTEAM run on steam. Fighters have boilers and they have to pull from a limited amount of steam to perform attacks.
  • The game is structured as a campaign and divided into missions. Each mission has several maps
  • As you play through the game, the boilers, weapons and characters available to you will increase.
  • Character design in CodeNameSTEAM is based on American comic books. The developers were inspired by artists like Jack Kirby and Bruce Timm.
  • Main characters’ weapon design is based on the weapon’s abilities and an animal motif based on the character’s personality.
  • The terrain has a lot of depth and reflects the variety of strategic choices in the game.
  • The developers came up with some original aliens that riff on creatures from the Lovecraft mythos

        1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

          If I’m to believe that one girl, he is a social reject in his own town, so no one wants him as a boyfriend or girlfriend.

      1. keep telling yourself that, I’ve been having fun with Mario kart 8 all week, in fact 4 of my friends bought a wiiu after playing it at my house

      1. … your getting your video from unknown reviewers. It’s don’t because you probably post this crap after you get 12th place on 50cc and its your way of raging. Lolololololol.

      1. Yeah you are right!!
        There is still hope, but then again I was joking and no one followed on my comment >.>
        I have failed!!! TTnTT

  1. People’s logic: “Nintendo needs new IP’s” Nintendo shows new IP: “Oh my god, where is Majora’s and Metroid?”

    1. Lol You can never satisfy anyone with anything…
      That is how it is and always will be…
      I for one welcome new IP’s but also those hints at a remake were there…
      Probably got over excited, but oh well!!

    2. Dude… Let’s face it the consumers lie… Matter of fact it got a game theory episode… They want something new as long as it’s the same…

    3. Lol. I think the Majora’s Mask teasers are for the plot in the next Zelda rather than for a remake. Nintendo teases us sometimes you know. Hugs.

      1. Yeah you might be right…
        but let’s look at the hints for a moment here…
        A link between world’s had a Majora’s mask in there…
        Zelda Williams carrying the mask at the Smash Invitational…
        Umm… dam!! Lost my train of thought xD

    4. Nintendo carries the burden of its legacy; it has to show all the re-makes and major franchises PLUS new IP’s.

    5. Ha! Love it. Nintendo does; however, carry the burden of its legacy. They have to show re-makes and major franchises PLUS new I.P.’s. Just their lot in life.

  2. Fuck you nintendo you announce everything but a metroid game. You guys deserve your image as kiddy and I hope you and this game fails in epic proportions

      1. Already failing with two new original IPs? I don’t think so ;)

        Keep on damage controlling because it’s becoming so sad it’s funny

    1. OH MY GOD NO METROID?! They also announced Zelda, more SSB news, Kirby, Yoshi, and more info on Hyrule Warriors. I think you can deal with it. They didn’t show the game you wanted so they need to be called kiddy? That makes no sense.

    1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

      This is one way to be innovative. Take elements from many different genres & mix them into one. Don’t bash it til you actually see the gameplay. Maybe it is better than what the info makes it sound. It’s a video game, after all. You can’t judge it by reading the info of the game on an article with no pictures or trailers.

  3. what the hell. I wad told 6pm open to everyone. ive been waiting for 3 hours!!!!! i could’ve been doing other things!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Over an entirely new IP instead? Jesus…

      “OMG SRSLY NINTENDO NEEDS TO STOP RELYING ON DER OLD FRANCHISES MAKE SOMETHING NEW LYKE COME OONNN LOL”

      Nintendo: “Here’s a brand new franchise being developed by one of our subsidiaries, Intelligent Systems! They’re responsible for Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, and Advance Wars!”

      “OMG WAT DA HELL Y DIDN’T DEY REMAKE METROID AND MAJORA’S MASK! FUCK NEW IPS WE NEED DA OLD ONEZ LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL”

      You guys are fucking stupid.

      1. ok but this new IP its focused only for the people who likes Tactital RPG not everyone likes that kind of shitty game so basically is just a new IP for that type, and yea i LIKE WAY MORE Majoras Mask remake than this shit you fucking asshole

        1. You’re proving this developer’s point. Not everyone likes Tactical RPGs… so he’s trying to make them more appealing (You know, like Pikmin, being a more accessible and appealing RTS game).

          Besides, your comment is meaningless, I could say the same thing regarding Majora’s Mask 3D. Not everyone likes a company constantly spitting out remakes of old games with graphical upgrades when they COULD be making something else.

          You don’t know whether or not you’d like this game, you’ve never played it. You’ve played Majora’s Mask.

          Try something new for a change and get out of your small, minuscule comfort zone.

          And, did you seriously expect Nintendo to dedicate NINETY MINUTES to an N64 remake?! That makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

          1. what i have read from all the feedbacks the games looks exactly like this
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFWNJ_u5um0#t=127 valkyria chronicles, so NO i dont like those type of genre and I will never like it.

            Thats not a new IP for gods sake, i would love nintendo start doing things right!, I mean this E3 was a really beat down there wasnt a single good game they show up, instead of Zelda Wii U that was fucking awesome, and smash but we see alot from the new smash before so that doesnt count.

            Nintendo is doing everything bad

            1. If none of the games nintendo showed yesterday at e3 you might as well sell your wiiu and get a different console….

            2. Whether or not it “looks like” Valkyria Chronicles doesn’t mean it “isn’t a new IP.” That’s absolutely, monumentally, and galactically stupid logic.

              That’s like saying F-Zero isn’t its own IP because it’s a racing game, and there were other racing games before it.

              Or, Banjo Kazooie isn’t a new IP, because it’s just like Super Mario 64. Or the first Spyro games on PS1. NOPE. Not new IPs, they’re basically Super Mario 64 clones! That means they are part of Super Mario!

              Do you even know what a new IP is? Please… look it up. One who is spouting such babble clearly doesn’t know.

              Also, I, along with several notable others, wholeheartedly disagree with you on that last point. They unveiled lots of new games. Kirby looks great, the Captain Toad game looks surprisingly good, Xenoblade Chronicles X looks good, Bayonetta 2 looks great (and it’s being bundled with the first game), Yoshi’s Woolly World looks really good, Splatoon is new and interesting… what are you talking about? “Not a single good game.”

              Look, if you only like one game genre and accept nothing else, that’s your problem. Criticizing a company for not fitting your incredibly niche and personal needs is rather selfish.

              1. Omg Valkyria Chronicles is amazing!! Loved it on the ps3. If this new game really is like it then I will be buying day one.

            3. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

              A new I.P. (I.ntellectual P.roperty) does not equal a new genre. A new IP is a new franchise with little to no connection to another franchise. The genre of the game does not decide a new IP.

  4. Nintendo always makes new IPs with new systems. Idk why people say Nintendo always has the same ones. They just need to focus on the least popular ones and make them relevant again. Btw I love strategy games and have no doubt this game will turn out great. Hugs!

  5. There’s a missed opportunity here, to hype fans.

    -Star Fox was shown, but only to press. wth! Miyamoto could show us the “demo” at his new IP Presentations. People were not ready to play the game, intelligent beigns knows it could take a while; but c’mon! They at last can show the “idea”. Have you noticed the few people there were screaming when only they heard “Star Fox is coming”?

    -Metroid.., well well… Metroid, another missed opportunity, at least say “Yes, Metroid will come to WiiU, but we can’t discuss anything yet”, was that so hard to say? =_=

    -F-Zero.., the same thing as Metroid. Why in the heck Nintendon don’t learn the lesson?

    -More new IP’s, and i mean.. really good ones, BIG IP’s, like Ubisoft with “Watchdogs”, something big and new. Not something small and.. well.. so so..

    We know games can take years, but c’mon, Knowing that they’ll come it’s better that not Know Anything about it.

    I wish Nintendo threw away for once with a new IP the same “kid” ideas, and bring back core audience, I want Nintendo scream at us “They’ll be guns/blood/Gore/nightmares! and bitches!!!” xD or something like that.

    1. smacks heads, they show a new ip with that exact quality as the last line of your rant and your too busy complaining to even know that (devil’s third)

      1. Your don’t get it. ._. I knew about Devil’s Third, Star Fox, and all those indie titles.
        I meant, NINTENDO hands gave us something like that, NOT a second/third party. Third Party ALWAYS had interesting ideas, amazing games, core/blood, etc. Is Nintendo who is not changing the Kiddy image they had. They can change it by creating games.

        1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

          Simply publishing these kind of games or letting them release to the console with no interference from Nintendo is stating they aren’t just a kiddy company. So by your own logic, Sony is a kiddy console because most of it’s games with that stuff in them was from 3rd parties & Sony merely published some.

          1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

            Not to mention MOST of Sony’s products are meant for the entire family: televisions, phones, computers, dvd players, etc.

  6. I trust Miyamoto implicitly; however, strategy is my LEAST favorite genre. I’m sure it will be well-executed and unique…but I would sooner buy a game that had me at hello…M.M. Both would be nice.

  7. Ok, I can accept a new IP. But it’s a strategy game I don’t care at all about. Kind of feel like it’s a double blow with it both not being Metroid or a game I’m interested in at all. Oh well, there’s still Splatoon and Zelda.

    1. I would’ve accepted Majora’s Mask 3D as well if that’s what it was or at least something NOT strategy.

  8. Infinite_Rubix_Cube

    S.T.E.A.M: Sorry to Everyone About Metroid/Majora
    In all seriousness, I’m very much looking forward to checking this out.

  9. Metroid fans whining again? Sheesh, Nintendo can’t catch a break even when they unveil something new.

    1. Why should they catch a break? They have a popular franchise the are ignoring. They deserve the low sales.

      1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        It’s Metroid. Nintendo will get around to revealing the game when they have SOMETHING to show. Now enjoy what Nintendo has already given us & quit whining over just one little game. I fucking love Metroid but you don’t see me crying.

    1. you are a waste of sperm, even defective sperm, your father should have shot in on your mom’s face and saved us the trouble of dealing with you

    2. I don’t see much damage control. Just people disappointed that there is no remake of the game they love.

        1. Oh so you’re showing me a game that was pretty much scripted but was also being played on a Superior PC? Damn you’re damage controlling hard this E3 ;) I’ve already piss you off which was very easy (As usual) and you’re are probably laughing at your home right now saying “Look at all these dumb people” but really, at the end of the day, you’re the one who looks like a complete dumbass and even people on Youtube know that, your subscribers know that as well XD

            1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

              Yet you get butthurt enough to try an expose us on your vlog yet you only end up exposing yourself. Exposed.

            2. hahahahaha. man you’re the biggest clown ever. saSORRY you make us laugh with every comment you make even your videos are hilarious they’re crappy nad cheaper than a b movie

        2. Also…. those Third Party games I can get on my vastly superior PC, Sunset Overdrive looks good but really, it’s about as original as CoD. ;) Stop with the damage controlling kid and go back to Goodwill where you belong.

        3. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          The only thing I ever think about when I see all these new games coming to the Xboxes or Playstations is…

          “Oh great, nice graphics but just another shooter…”

          “Americans shooting again and again and again and again and once again but another time again…”

          Borefest to the maximum…

          The best part about our games is that whenever you see anyone play on E3 or at another event, they are having real fun unlike the other 2 that’s, “oh it’s pretty nice, what else?”…

  10. Honestly people, stop whining. Just because a company reveals a game in a genre you don’t like doesn’t give you an excuse to complain. If people complained every time a game was made in a genre they don’t like, we’d never hear the end of it! I for one love strategy games, and steampunk is awesome. Remember Elysia in Prime 3?

          1. Sorry but Battlefield is a completely different genre and people already hate it ;)

            Please damage control another day kiddo

            1. the severs are still being fixed. they worked well on the xbox 360 and xbox one versions. aren’t even that broken. 64 players are better than 8 players.

                1. and what happen to all the broken wii u servers at luanch and loadings times online and though apps. the beggy severs that took 25sec-45secs to load.

                  1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

                    Pathetic! Deflection is a sign of butthurt & loseritis! You can’t defend so you try to turn it on Nintendo. Weak & pathetic. And if I recall correctly, any broken servers for Wii U games were for 3rd party games.

              1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                64 lag festival multiplayer that has broken servers is not a valid reason. Neither is saying “it’s still being fixed”, and no, it still is broken, therefore, your entire argument is rendered invalid. You as well didn’t explain why broken server 64 multiplayer that is inaccessible is better than 4-8 players. You have been destroyed and proven invalid again.

                1. the severs are working efficiently and well. may be a little lag but the severs are efficient. there are great.

                  1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                    But you don have a 360 or an Xbox One to prove it, nor will lying help your case, unless you show evidence. But like usual, you show none and only words. Exposed.

                  2. you don’t know anything about servers and such thing you’re only a fag who complains about everything

      1. No offense, but they did better than Microsoft. 50% of their focus was on Halo. As much as I want to go buy games I already own, I would rather have Nintendo’s new games.

          1. Oh you mean all those third parties that I can get on PC and the indie games that are only timed exclusives like Fez?

            Nintendo showed off why more and better exclusives PLUS actual New IPs, while Microsoft/Sony only showed off games that I could get on my superior PC hardware ;)

            1. you cant get destiny on pc. and are the nintendo new ips worth mentioning as a cool looking ip. i cant even believe you drones are accepting these lame games splatoon and steam as an ips. what online splatoon and steam were the new ips with little indie games that were lame. those third party games are still coming to ps4,ps3,xbox 360,xbox one and pc. non are coming to the wii u.

              1. Ooooh Destiny is SOOOOO important, kid we have Crysis, the original Halo and so on, you are just damage controlling to the extreme and this guy would agree with me:

                1. actually destiny is important because already a huge hype for the game. your denial because most pc gamers are port begging for a pc version on the game. the e3 trailer is very interesting and destiny is way different from halo lol. not even the mask and body armor customization are similar to halo. crysis and destiny are two different fps. and destiny has planets and worlds while crysis takes place on earth.

                  1. Kid, Planetside 2 is a more open world Sci Fi game than Destiny and it’s FOR FREE. god your damage controlling is going through the roof it’s almost hitting the NASA space Station XD

                    I’d like to say this, Destiny looks like a decent game but Bungie stated that a PC version could be in the works last year so yeah ;)
                    You Xbots will have yet another game taken away from you and as usually, you’ll be crying like how we took you Dead Rising 3 away from you.

                  2. Also, you’re talking about PC ELITISTS… I’m a normal PC Gamer and to be honest, I really wouldn’t give two shits if this game came to PC or not because it really doesn’t look at that great, plus, it’s going to end up like Watch_Dogs, at first it looks cool but when you finally get it… you regret ever playing it, plus, you Xbots and Sony Ponies actually have to pay twice for your access to the online while we PC gamers only pay the broadband companies for our Internet and still get free online ;)

                    Stop being in denial kid, you’re damage controlling is through the roof and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, also, you must have a LOT of time on your hands seeing how it’s almost night time in America.. You are one sad individual ;)

                    1. you the drone in denial. you dont pay for steam because steam already needs to be connect a internet to be usable most of the time. psn and xbox live also have dedicated severs just as pc.

                    2. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                      Sasori got burned which is why he’s resorting to calling you a drone now and giving reasons unrelated to the subject.

                  3. Keep going deeper into denial kid ;)

                    Us real PC Masters support our brave Nintendo and Sony brothers but you Xbots, you mean nothing to us ;)

                  4. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played Destiny and its good, but I don’t think in its current state it will live up to the hype.

              2. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

                If they are so lame, why the fuck do you keep opening your filthy, stupid mouth on all of these “lame” game articles. Oh right. I keep forgetting that you’re just a wannabe troll.

          1. Yeah, because shooting lazers over and over again going down the same corridor and copying Crysis is SOOOOOO original… Face it kid, you’re damage controlling hard this E3 because Nintendo won ;)

            1. call of duty advance warfare isn’t even a corridor shooter. the beginning of the demo or game took place a building which you will jump out of with the ultra parkour jump. the thing simliar to crysis is the invisibility/cloaking ability. am not even damage controlling even ubisoft e3 was way better than nintendo’s e3.

              1. Kid, you’re damage controlling hard right now it’s almost sad XD
                You’re basically crying at this point because Call of Duty: Advanced Wellfare wasn’t a big hit with anyone, hell the audience seemed bored with that game and I don’t blame them, it’s just a rip off of Crysis with the CoD name on it ;)

                So don’t be in denial, you’re a butthurt damage controller who can’t even afford a decent PC ;)

                1. its funny how i could run battlefield 3 in medium and high settings with just the readoen tm hd graphics on the amd a6 3560 apu card. i could also run many other games well.

                  1. Really? Wow, the frame rate must be amazing :D… Oh wait… it would run at 30 and below… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

                    Stop lying to yourself kid, your PC it outdated and you can’t even get your games running in 1080p without having frame rate issues XD

                  2. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                    Really? That’s funny since you said you would only play games at 1080p and 60fps. So, in your imagination, I didn’t but in reality, I did expose you, twice in a row. And you helped me. Exposed triple time.

                    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                      I think you’ve exposed him more times than the Xbox Done has sold so far…

                        1. We’ve all exposed him more times than a Nudest XD

                          He is even trying to cover his ass and say “i already knew my pc isn’t the best out there” yet he says it’s better than the Wii U… AND THAT CAN DO 1080P AND 60 FPS whilst his PC can only do 30 fps, medium settings at 720p or lower.

                          PC is a beast
                          Running games in 4K at 60 fps all at Very High to Ultra Settings, and yet I still want all the awesome games coming out on Wii U :D

                        2. i remember very well that this idiot said his pc could was the most powerful. as always he changed the toppic but he always get burned

                      1. Wonderful 101, Mario 3D World, Zelda Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, ZombiU and finally Mario Kart 8 (Single Player Online & Offline)

                        Xbox One 1080p games –
                        …. Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 and Rayman Legends…. wow… so empty

          2. funny, because every video I’ve watched of people playing splatoon they loved it, and no I didn’t just watch Nintendo only pages

      2. People have a right to complain. Stop blindly defending nintendo. Im a nintendo fan, but im gonna call them out when they do something stupid. They hyped this moment for quite some time, and we dont even get to see a single picture from the game? Not until tomorrow? Then why not just wait until tomorrow to show it FFS. Why would they fucking tease us like that. Its Bullshit.

        1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

          You do realize this just builds up even more hype, right? Like showing off that little bit of Zelda for Wii U. Are you calling that a stupid move because they didn’t show more or because it’s not coming til 2015?

          1. Yeah, though I still think Splatoon is the better new IP, this game still sounds like a lot of fun, especially if they got the guys who made Fire Emblem working on it :D

              1. Well from what we seen so far there are a few, the bazooka, the bomb and the standard ink shooter, though the main mechanic is all in the characters :)
