Topic: NOA Ships Drill Dozer

[Jonnyboy117]

This non-Pokemon action title from Game Freaks should be on store shelves today.

Nintendo's Drill-Driving Jill is a Girl Gone Wild    

Ever have one of those days when you just want to trash everything in   sight?  Every day is like that for young, pink-haired Jill, the star of the   new Drill Dozer(TM) game for Game Boy(R) Micro and Game Boy(R) Advance SP.    She spends her days piloting her Drill Dozer robot and leaving a trail of   destruction in her wake.        Just like Nintendo's critically acclaimed Metroid(R) series, Drill Dozer   features a strong female protagonist.  Jill's not a bad girl, she just has   some issues.  A gang attacked her father and stole her precious red diamond.   Really, what's a girl to do?    

Drill Dozer was developed by GAME FREAK, a company known for its  top-selling Pokemon(R) games.  In this side-scrolling platformer, players use   the shoulder buttons to rotate the drill as they search for hidden gears to   power up the Drill Dozer.  The game combines elements of action, adventure and   exploration, and comes with a built-in rumble pak that really lets players get   a feel for the devastation they're causing.    

Drill Dozer, Rated E for Everyone, launched Feb. 6.

see, now, that's just shameless. I can see them trying to sell this game with Pokemon, but Metroid?

They both have Screw Attacks.

Or something.

Who cares?  This is yet another unique game that I have to cram onto my buy list... ;_;

This one kind of snuck up on me, but from everything I've seen it looks quite cool.

The press release is entertaining... it goes after guys by calling her a "Girl Gone Wild", and then goes after girls by calling her a "strong female protagonist".  I'm not sure what to think of that.  =)

Review on ze way!

So let's get this straight, all Nintendo games with female protagonists involve screw attacks of some sort and everyone's complaining that Nintendo is for kids?

Oh boy!  I've been looking forward to this one.  I haven't played games lately.  I welcome this.
