Goichi Suda's studio announced its first Kinect project at last year's Tokyo Game Show, giving it the working title Codename D. At Grasshopper's TGS conference today, it was revealed that the game's final name is Diabolical Pitch, which tasks players with seeing off a zombie infestation by throwing baseballs. It's set for release on Xbox Live Arcade before the year is out.
Developer Treasure's website confirms that the long-awaited Xbox Live Arcade release of its beloved Saturn shooter will launch on September 14, costing 1200 Microsoft Points. We've contacted Microsoft to ask if that's a worldwide release date, and will update when we hear more.
This collaboration between Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture and Hungarian developer Digital Reality was first announced almost a year ago. The teaser trailer doesn't show any gameplay footage - it was described last August as mixing "traditional side-scrolling gameplay with unique time manipulation mechanics." We'll soon know more: the game is set for release on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network before the year is out.
