Hands on: Command Master

Enix's Space World display includes Command Master, the second GBC title to use the Tilt Cartridge.

Comments

Command Master is basically a one-on-one battle. As you progress, you'll acquire new superheroes and special attacks. The game uses the Tilt Cartridge (first seen in the latest Kirby game) for morphing into different kinds of superheroes and executing different special attacks. To morph, you hold the D-pad and tilt the Game Boy in the direction shown on the screen, then press the A button at the right time. A gauge similar to Konami's BeatMania is located at the bottom, indicating the exact moment to hit A. For example, if a morphing command was right twice, you'd tilt the machine to the right a couple of times, then hit the A button once the cursor reaches the right spot on the gauge. Special attacks also work in a similar way. If the special attack is up, down, then all you have to do is tilt or shake the Game Boy up and then down and press the A button. You take turns when attacking, and some attacks have properties that may cancel or counter the opponent's attack. After a few turns, the final attack involves tilting the machine on all sides from left, right, up and down. The more this is done within the given time limit, the more power your final attack is. The beta version shown at the event seemed to have needed a little more adjustment in the sensors as executing some of the attacks wasn't very easy.

Command Master is scheduled for a fall release with a pricing of 5900yen in Japan.
