If there's one genre the DS never got quite right it's the humble shoot 'em up: while Nanostray and sequel Nanostray 2 were decent outings, they were merely stars in a dark night. 3DS might not suffer the same fate if D3Publisher has its say, as the company announces Dream Trigger 3D for 3DS.
An arcade-style shooter that lets players use sonar to identify enemies and blow them up, this could be a welcome addition to the 3DS's line-up. There are currently no images or videos for the game, but we'll pass them on when they arrive.

Wooohooo!!! Eyecandy for 3DS!!!
Neat, now lets hope it plays well enough.
I hope it's good... I always wanted more shmups on my DS.
This sounds good and isn't omega five that hudson announced for the 3ds a shmup?
^Yes it is. But I think it's 3DSware.
If it's 3dsware then it's the only 3dsware game announced so far. Hopefully this means it will be a 3dsware launch game.
Sweet, I will be keeping my eye on this one!
i love shooters
"An arcade-style shooter that lets players use sonar to identify enemies and blow them up,"
That's one cool mechanic for a shoot-'em-up.
If devs get the graphics, controls and online play right, shmups on 3DS could be fantastic.
Never enough good shooters! These games are perfect on a handheld even better with a actual slide pad.
I thought this was a chrono trigger sequel, lol
i cant wait to see the screen shots,sounds good and unique
