Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Looks Really Great In Motion

Last night, Nintendo announced Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. for the Nintendo 3DS.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. takes place in a steampunk London, where wireless technology like the radio has only just been invented. While screenshots of the game aren’t the nicest thing to look at, it does look really nice in motion. Art director Takako Sakai says she drew inspiration for the game from comic book artists like Jack Kirby and Bruce Timm.
