There were confirmations that Kokuga, a Nintendo 3DS shoot-em-up, was being aimed for a Western release, but no confirmation date was given at the time. Now, we have verification that this new title will be getting localized for Western audiences as a June or July release this year.
Designed by the creator of Ikaruga, Hiroshi Iuchi, and published by G.Rev, Kokuga is an isometric shoot-em-up, where players are given control of a futuristic tank that must go through mazes filled with numerous traps and enemies. The game promises to provide quite a challenge, even to longtime fans of the shoot-em-up genre.
Be sure to look out for this new 3DS title when it get released this summer in North America, Europe and Australia through the Nintendo eShop.
