During BitSummit , a gaming festival held in Kyoto, Keiji Inafune and his game company announced their newest 2D game, Azure Striker Gunvolt, which is coming to the Nintendo 3DS eShop this summer.
The developers describe the game's story: The story takes place in the near future, a new type of psychic power has emerged, and a boy named Gunvolt has gathered a rebel force with the goal of freeing the world from Sumeragi's control. Gunvolt's ability is to unleash lightning bolts. He can fire lightning rods at his enemies, said the game's creator.
One day, Gunvolt is sentenced to kill the virtual pop star Lumen. But he discovers that Lumen is the avatar of Joule, a psychic girl. He hesitates to kill her, and this changes his destiny.
Gunvolt can attack using "Dart Leader" targeted shots and "Raigeki-rin," a charged electric attack that can slowly injure opponents.
Inafune serves as executive producer and action supervisor for the game. Yoshihisa Tsuda (Megaman X2, Megaman Zero) is directing, Yoshitaka Hatakeyama (Megaman 9) is responsible for the art, Ippo Yamada is providing the music, and Takuya Aizu is producing the game.
Remember that Keiji Inafune is still working on his side-scrolling adventure game Mighty No. 9 , an action game for PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS, PC, Mac, Linux, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One.
