Nintendo Announces New 3DS IP: Codename: S.T.E.A.M.

Lincoln Force?!

steampunk XCOM?

It's like one funny cat picture away from 'internet: the game'.

Abraham Lincoln!? Whaaa

This sounds almost too awesome.

This would explain the Lincoln Mii showing up in Smash Brothers, eh?

Steam-Powered? So the units are going to hold sales every season to empty the wallets of their enemies on resources they will never use?

This sounds so ridiculous, can't wait to see what comes out of it.

Lincoln Force is no shit the first thing I thought of reading that description.

Gaben and Nintendo collaboration?

Lincoln Force is real!!! I just found this awesome fan art of it.

Bill Trinen is saying that Miyamoto isn't involved in this game.

Someone at Nintendo heard of Lincoln Force.

Half Life 3 confirmed.

THE GAME HWERVE ALL BE WAITING FOR... steam punk turn based strategy with abraham lincoln truly nintendo has saved the big 3ds annoucements i cant beleive i doubted them

For some reason I totally misread this and thought it was saying the Nintendo was going to be using Steam for all of its online services.

Intelligent Systems? YES! Turn based? YES! 3DS? YES! It's like this was made for me!

I'm so happy right now, and I barely know what the game is!

Lincoln Force LIVES!

LINCOLN FORRRCE!!!

ASSEMBLE!

Nintendo's still got a knack for the unexpected, that's the damn truth.

@rorie feel free to tag this to the wiki page that already exists: Codename S.T.E.A.M.

also, Miyamoto has nothing to do with this game. This is all Intelligent Systems and Nintendo SPD's Yamagami.

First Lincoln is in Smash Bros. and now this. That fucker gets around.

Lincoln better be a character in Super Smash Bros now.

Sure, let Intelligent Systems make a new game! The concept sounds rad.

Sounds rad.

Nice, thanks. Actually reminds me a lot of Valkyria Chronicles.

The world is under attack by alien forces, and none other than Abraham Lincoln has commissioned a fighting force of steam-powered units to fight them off.

OK I'M IN

I imagine the idea for this game came about from Miyamoto watching Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter while he played Advance Wars.

Man, I hope this game plays like Advance Wars.

For serious!

Oh shit! Nintendo just became a whole new level of weird. Only question is if the game is set during Lincoln's presidency, killing aliens with the power of steam is how Lincoln becomes president, or if Lincoln can time travel.

So, maybe Lincoln in Smash Bros. was a tease right? Bring on the Ice-T turn-based, dating sim!

This sounds so rad! Fuck yeah nintendo! Keep tearin shit uppp!

Abe Lincolns vs Aliens? Shit I'm sold.

You misspelled Starfox.

Definitely on board for this, looks interesting. Hopefully we see a trailer soon.

Amazing. Amazing. This is the best new IP out of Nintendo for a long time. It's crazy how they're not relying on their old shit this E3. There hasn't been a significant amount of new IP on Ninendo platforms since the golden age of Rare.

Also ITS MOTHERFUCKING LINCOLN FORCE! Holy fucking shit.

LINCOLN FORCE

That screenshot reminds me a little of Valkyria Chronicles, so coming from Intelligent Systems that could be pretty cool.

But... as much as it's ridiculous to complain about any new IP coming out of Nintendo, I'd still rather have Advance Wars.

BEAR GRENADE!

In before Valve lawsuit.

Kinda bitter that the announcement wasn't for a Majora's Mask 3DS. At least there's TGS 2014, right?

I'm sure this game will be awesome but man that art style is not my cup of tea.

It makes a lot of sense to do this at E3, knowing full well that Majoras Mask 3DS could show up in any random Direct and get the same coverage as it would now.

Not quite the Nintendo games on Steam that I was deliriously dreaming about.

I'm not quite sure why they had to do a meeting without showing any video if they were just going to show it all off today anyway. Seems like a cool game.

So who is making FE x SMT?

This looks awesome.

"The world is under attack by alien forces, and none other than Abraham Lincoln has commissioned a fighting force of steam-powered units to fight them off."

Fucking sold.

Oh good, steampunk. That's hip with all the teens nowadays, right?

Explanation of why you should love it too.
