Tecmo’s SPRay — oddly capped that way due to the game’s protagonist, known as Spirited Prince Ray — may serve as an adequate substitute for Wii gamers waiting for Nintendo’s Mario and Zelda teams to wrap up their next projects. SPRay is not unlike a Zelda-style adventure and comparisons to Mario Sunshine will likely be inevitable, as the game features a liquid spraying mechanic that’s not too dissimilar from that GameCube non-classic.
Tecmo has announced its list of E3 2008 wares and there’s nary a trademark D-cup nor a ninja in sight, as each of its three titles lands on Nintendo hardware. Leading the charge is Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the Nintendo DS, a portable update to the publisher’s arcade/NES classic American football fest.
Also for the DS is Robocalypse, an “innovative, new, real-time strategy game” in which, you guessed it, robots fight. They fight comically, it seems, as Jay Lender, SpongeBob Squarepants writer and director co-wrote the storyline.
Rounding out the list is SPRay for the Wii. Tecmo describes it as an action adventure game with “a unique gameplay mechanic involving the use of several liquids that are sprayed onto the game universe”. For more details, check the full press release.
