Yesterday, we learned Tekken/Xenosaga creator Harada is working on a WiiU exclusive tentatively called "Project Treasure".
As quoted from gamrReview:
"It's a four-person cooperative action title that involves 'clearing traps, routing enemies, and seizing treasure', but aside from that very little is known about the game."
We also know it's a free to play game.
I want to know your genuine thoughts on the new title. I have 3 questions for you - along with my thoughts.
So what do you figure the gameplay will be like?
The description has me thinking it will be a lot like Gauntlet Legends -- A dungeon-crawler/beat-em-up with some basic RPG elements that was ported from the arcade to consoles long ago. GL was a pretty fun game on co-op because you had to work co-operatively to solve some puzzles while mowing down hordes of enemies Warriors stlyle, but there was always a competition to see who could grab the most loot/gold to buy more loot. Sadly GL never survived the Midway collapse. I always wanted an online mode for GL -- and I couldn't ever find something else like GL multiplayer, either online or local. The arcade versions of GL were always a serious drain on the wallet -- you could really only beat the game if you had the console version. If Treasure does a better job than GL did on balancing arcade/console aspects of gameplay, it could be a real hit.
Do you think it can be successful?
If the gameplay is similar to GL and it only costs like $1-5 a month to get some good items to use on some raids for about 3-10 hours of gameplay a month, I'd consider that a good value both for players and for Nintendo/Namco Bandai.
Will you download it and try it out?
Based on these hopes I have for the title, Harada's track record, and Namco Bandai's solid support for WiiU, I'll definitely try it out.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
