Code Name: S.T.E.A.M is out in North America today, bringing the latest new IP from Intelligent Systems to the 3DS family. Its brand of over-the-shoulder real-time strategy is certainly a fresh approach, and the steampunk alternative history certainly proved a hit with our reviewer.
Nintendo of America's scooped some handy exposure for the new release with a slot on Twitch Weekly, with 'Nintendo reps' and Wil Wheaton - who plays Abraham Lincoln in the game - on hand to show it off.
The 3DS title will be shown at 2:30pm Pacific / 5:30pm Eastern / 9:30pm UK / 10:30pm CET. You can check it out below or on the Twitch Weekly link above.

I'm surprised there's no livechat like how things are with other Treehouse events.
Loving this game and his voice acting is amazing! One of Nintendo's much under rated titles of the year!
@Grumblevolcano I'm in the UK and a little tired to do a live blog, plus I don't know how long this'll be etc.
We'll have the usual live chat for structured things like Nintendo Direct
@Grumblevolcano Probably because there no doubt be a holes from gamersgate that will come on there just to trash Wiil Wheaton all because he doesnt agree with them
I am almost leaving work so I will watch this later. But I liked what I heard.
Damn, this is disappointing. They're playing the mission that GameXplain played a while back.
...So, why do people hate this guy?
The sad thing is, once Adam Baldwin's (coined the term #GamerGate) involvement with this game becomes mainstream, it's going to create quite a firestorm. It's a shame, too. I was almost interested in it/the Majora's Mask pin.
@Sanya Star Trek TNG, The Big Bang Theory, ruining the Family Guy joke and his status/attitude regarding said status.
GamerGate is waaaayyy on the bottom of list of reasons to hate Wheaton.
Whether or not you're a Wil Wheaton fan the dialogue in STEAM is really campy (think like 60's Batman) which will not be to everyone's taste. Interested gamers should at least try the demo instead of dismissing it because of one voice actor though.
I myself hate Wil Wheaton for the reasons listed above (2 and 4 especially), but I will definitely still buy the game.
Just no Abe Lincon in Smash, please.
@JusticeColde What?! Abe Lincoln in Smash Bros. would be fantastic! You can do Evil Lincoln, Space Lincoln, Ghost Lincoln, the alternate skins write themselves! XD
...Of course, we have Miis... ^^;;
Stop pretending Will Wheaton matters. Without weird internet geek culture I wouldn't even know who he is.
@Tsurii897 Jokes from when it was still good. But yeah, Family Guy is beyond dookie at this point.
@MasterGraveheart The I am not really for #gamergate (Other than thinking the main people are much more intelligent and capable of producing a coherent argument). The other side I am 100% against. (Maybe that makes me for but I don't think it does).
Going back to Baldwin he is good in Firefly so probably should be in this which should be the only consideration.
