Some of you may recall the emergence of Project Mekuru, a title developed by Over Fence Co. that is now known as Battle Sports Mekuru in Japan. Its core concept is around multiplayer matches in which players compete by flipping over tiles to their colour, with various environmental factors and items that come into play.
For its Western release it's going to be called Flip Wars, and it's out this week in Europe. Nintendo has published a trailer in the region confirming a release date of 6th July, though pricing is unclear at the time of publication (its pricing in Yen converts to under $10USD). The overview is pretty useful, as it showcases local and online multiplayer, along with different stages and game modes.
We'll wait and see whether this lands in North America this week; due to Independence Day in the US it'll likely be 5th or 6th July before the company confirms either way.
Do you like the look of this?

Price?
This looks kinda fun but will have to be very inexpensive for me to buy.
Looks more like Splatoon mini game.. maybe even the love child of Bomberman and Splatoon ?😁
Maybe if they finally add CONTENT to this game...
@stocko I added an update, the Japanese price converts to under $10USD, as a rough idea. Plus I said "pricing is unclear at the time of publication"
@ThomasBW84 Sorry, looks liked I glossed over that bit!
I totally forgot about this..
Butt Man !!
Ouch...!
Prepare some pains on their butts !
Cheaper than Bomberman and it looks to be a lot more fun!
Thought this was forgotten about then it just comes out without warning.
Liking the quick turnaround approach
@ThomasBW84 Thanks for the update!
This looks like Bomberman but cheaper. I want Bomberman R but like at $20 and Lego City like at $30, reasons why I haven't bought any of them. I might buy this one.
I'm.... really drawn to this. Wow! It's like, got Splatoon influences and a little of Bomberman...
Splatterman: Tile Flipper Extreme G
I'm definitely liking this.
I wish you could use your Mii
$10 would be an easy sell for me. Though I may sound a bit curmudgeonly by asking "does a game with this kind of nice clean mechanics need so many modes?" It could potentially dilute the core concept a bit. Ah well. Glad to see it coming soon!
I was transfixed with this game at first - but then after watching some japanese gameplay, that initial spout of excitement quickly wore off. I'm not sure why - the gameplay didn't seem too different from what we saw back in January, but for some reason checking it out (I think around E3?) was enough to make me change my mind.
@TommyTLG I'm pretty sure you can. Like... 70-80% sure you can as I recall seeing Mii's used in January trailer it was first announced in.
I still feel like this is just a souped-up Mario Party minigame... and with that in mind, I don't really see the appeal in this very much, unless it's really, really low priced.
This looks like a good fun four player blast. Hope they don't push it with the price...
So many games coming this week. Hopefully this continues and we get a lot of those promised Nindies this summer as planned.
Flip Wars looks interesting vut I'll wait for a review. Implosion is my definite for this week.
Looks sweet. And at that price it makes Puyo Puyo Tetris look like a con.
Looks fun as a minigame, but content wise I feel like it should be no more than about $5-8
I'm assuming this game doesn't support single player with bots since the trailer says it requires a broadband connection. I'll still probably grab it. Expecting around $10.
@ThatNyteDaez @TommyTLG There was an interview with the devs where they said they originally had Miis, but decided they didn't fit the game's premise (idk why not.)
@BooJoh There is single-player, but at least if the Japanese version is of concern, there's just as much to do, if not less, in single-player as there is in Astro Duel Deluxe.
I'm getting this
