Appeared on Youtube yesterday. Looks like a X-Com-like but only limited to combat and with unique squadmates. Incline?

Hm, its reminds me more of Valkyria Chronicles with these controls and camera. I wonder how it will sell. People are always complaining about nintendo milking same things but you can guess what sells best,

They revealed this at E3. I think it looks pretty solid for a handheld game. Hard to say whether or not the mechanics are deep, though. I usually find myself just getting disappointed by 3DS games like these. Nintendo tends to poison their products with easiness and simplicity in favor of wider appeal. Dunno why, I feel like they no longer trust kids to 'get' games like they used to.

I for one would rather it not be bloated with over-complicated mechanics.

Yeah but if that's the case there's already an entire library of handheld games made especially for you.
