GAF - Megaton Feature - Part 1

Megaton Feature Part 1

Nintendo + Capcom = Dukki

In our first part of this feature, we propose this: Nintendo has bought Capcom and now holds the rights to all their past and future titles! This is one of the most popular rumours about Nintendo's Megaton announcement, so we at GAF have come up with what may possibly come out of a relationship such as Captendo. After many days of tireless research and sleepless nights, we've come to only one conclusion (for now anyway): Dukki. Dukki combines the perfect aspects of Capcom's newest mech title, Steel Battalion (Tekki in Japan), and Nintendo's old-fashioned favorite, Duck Hunt.

No, do not scoff at this, for we believe it to be the best of both worlds and you'll see why. Steel Battalion, since its release, has grown to become a favorite for many wealthy mech lovers. It provides near complete immersion into the subject matter, which in this case is destroying mechs. However, there's something lacking. After playing through many missions and destroying nearly everything you see, you just don't have anything to take home with you.

When you get home, what's the first thing you think about? A good home cooked meal. And that's why we think Steel Battalion would do better when combined with Duck Hunt, the game where one finds and kills their own food. In Dukki, you are presented with one mission and one mission alone: search and destroy... ducks. They're out there and they're not friendly. They will fly around the screen in predictable patterns and all you have is a 40 foot mech to get your meal.

For today's update, we've got a special treat for you: exclusive screenshots and 3D renders from this wonderful new Captendo game. As you can see from our first screen, you are first briefed with your current mission. Upon a topographical map, you will see two types of duck locations. The white locations mark areas where one duck will appear at a time. The red ducks represent the twice as difficult sections where TWO ducks appear on the screen...at the same time.

The next screenshot clearly shows part of a cinematic movie. In our modern era of video gaming, we have the ability to create cutscenes that show what a game would look like if we had more time and money to program it, which will make the actual game, which usually looks remarkedly worse, seem so much better to the average gamer. Dukki does not disappoint and includes this wonderful scene showing the most annoying dog ever holding the player's two newest kills.

A collection of screenshots isn't complete without at least one gameplay shot and we've got one for you. As can be clearly seen, a generation two mech is facing off against a single duck. This particular duck is quite ferocious and is one of the hardest kills in the game.

Lastly, we have a special treat for you. The developers of Dukki have included two special 3D renders of the ducks themselves. These show the immense detail these ducks have and that they look fantastic from all angles. Enjoy this, for its once in a lifetime that a game like this will be made.
