Capcom, you glorious bastards! Releasing DarkVoid onto the DSi platform has both redeemed you and the DSi platform itself. In a world full of Mario calculators and Gameloft ports, a refreshingly new yet retro game that complements the upcoming console release of Dark Void is JUST what the DSi doctor ordered. As the folks at GameSpot said:
So when we say Dark Void Zero has a retro look to it, we need to point out this is consistent across the board. Capcom has crafted an authentic and old-school experience that will make veteran gamers smile. The moment you fire up the game, you’re asked to “blow” on your virtual cartridge in order to get it to work. Once the microphone detects some air, you’ll get an animation of an onscreen cartridge plugging in to the bottom screen of your DS, which launches the game. When you launch the game, you’ll be filled in on the story by an awesomely dramatic cinema, and by “cinema,” we mean a series of blocky still images. You’re cast in the role of Rusty, a character actually seen in the upcoming console game–one of the first freedom fighters in the parallel world. Famed scientist and electricity enthusiast Nikola Tesla is on hand to offer support and guidance as you set out to fight for humankind.
We at TPG can’t wait to check this out, as our more R-Rated brethren over at GrE are drooling over the console release. Stay tuned right nere for news as we find it, and a review of the full game once it releases. Rock!
