Inter-galactic virus fighters are needed in order to stop the Nanostray virus – a deadly contaminant which is threatening the world’s civilization in Nano Assault. The 3DS-exclusive title from Majesco Entertainment and Shin’en will release on December 5, with the aim of bringing fast-paced shoot ’em-up action into the third dimension.
From the looks of previously-released gameplay footage, Nano Assault is one game which will benefit greatly from the use of 3D viewing technology. Levels vary in sizes and types, with some taking place inside of bacteria-filled tunnels. Flying through a small tunnel at high speeds with bullets flying towards you sounds like a perfect opportunity to move your slider up a ways to whatever level suits your eyes best.
Check out the game’s trailer and screenshots below, as well as a release from Majesco Entertainment.
