It's like Earth Defense Force mixed with a really campy cartoon.

Tank! Tank! Tank! was initially revealed in the Wii U sizzle reel at Nintendo's recent E3 press conference. A party game, the title places up to four players in tanks to battle against each other or together against giant monsters with  a large arsenal of weapons.

The game is very much like a more cartoony Earth Defense Force, where the arsenal is huge, buildings are blowing up everywhere, and the monsters are campy and ridiculously gigantic. And, rather than simply allowing the player to only play as an fully upgradable tank, a special "Kong" mode allows the player to become the monster itself using the GamePad. A single-player option for this isn't specified, but it has been revealed to exist in multiplayer.

As the game might be in planning for a retail release, it only makes sense that such a title would need to be fully loaded with features. Along with cooperative and versus modes, there is also a single-player story mode allowing the player to fight exclusive monsters, level up their tanks to become more powerful, and unlock new tanks.

Like ZombiU, Tank! Tank! Tank! will also let the player use their image within the context of the game. For instance, the player can take an in-game photo to use on their avatar, which can then be outfitted with helmets, masks, and more. Another instance comes in the previously mentioned Kong mode, which allows the player to put their face over where Kong's would normally be.

Tank! Tank! Tank! arrives on the Wii U during launch window.

Oh cool!
They're bringing over the arcade game.


They could, at least, made it look a lot better.
