The Nanostray titles were received fondly on Nintendo DS, combining fun, frantic shoot 'em up action with Shin'en's usual pleasant presentation. Now, after astonishing Wii owners with Jett Rocket and FAST: Racing League on WiiWare, the German developers are returning to the Nanostray world with Nano Assault.
In command of a tiny Nanite ship, it's up to you to stop the deadly Nanostray virus spreading and destroying civilisation as we know it. The microscopic craft must purge the virus' DNA with a multitude of weapons through 32 stages of cellular shooter.
Once you've cleared the story there's plenty left to do, such as a Boss Rush mode, an arcade-style scored-based Mission Mode and online Hall of Fame leaderboards.
Nano Assault will be released on Nintendo 3DS next month in America. We're awaiting a European release date.
Will you be diving back into the Nanostray universe with Nano Assault?
