This (sadly) fake creation, combining the Wii U and perennial side-scrolling favourite Metal Slug, shows us a future where augmented reality games aren’t a massive joke. A future where disgusting cups filled with cigarettes can double as cover for tiny, pixellated heroes and a container for your used cancer sticks. A future where you have to engage in the thoroughly analogue activity of cutting out small squares with Xs on them to make full use of your digital video game.
It’s a future I want to see… thought I’m not sure how the multiplayer would work without everyone standing on top of each other…
