DS Exclusive: Actionloop Screen Shower

Nintendo’s Touch! Generations series powers ahead with the announcement of a new action puzzler for DS this week, and you can see a whopping twenty-one screens from the game exclusively right here on SPOnG.

Nintendo is pitching this to us as a fast-paced ‘action puzzler’ in which players have to clear multi-coloured gemstones as they roll along looping tracks. The company is stressing heavily that no prior ‘gaming’ knowledge will be required to pick up and play (and no doubt become hopelessly addicted to) Actionloop.

SPOnG supposes that the main requirements to play the game will be that players possess thumbs, a brain, a smidgeon of skill and a damn quick reaction-time.

The basic premise is this – players use the DS’s stylus to flick gemstones as they roll along the tracks. Create a combination of a minimum of three same-coloured stones in order to make them magically disappear. There are four modes - Challenge, Quest, Checkmate and Versus - spanning both single and multiplayer, and all pretty much self-explanatory.

For the complete screen shower and full details on the game, check out SPOnG’s dedicated Actionloop page. We’ll be badgering Nintendo for a first look at Actionloop - which is due to drop later in September - in the coming weeks.
