You’ve probably heard of NieR by now. It’s an action game that Square Enix announced at E3, designed entirely to appeal to Western audiences and possessing a name that sounds eerily similar to our very own Destructoid founder. It wasn’t going to come to Japan at all, but was recently announced in the East as NieR Gestalt. Now Famitsu seems to believe that there are two NieR games coming, not one.
The latest issue of Japan’s premier gaming mag has an advertisement for a pair of NieR games called NieR Gestalt and NieR Replicant. No differences are evident as of yet — all we can see is that the Gestalt image has a picture of the burly dude we’ve already seen, while Replicant features a young, albeit ugly, lady.
What could it be? Two separate version, a’la Pokémon? Perhaps the game will be getting slight differences on Xbox 360 and PS3, with two different names, a’la Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Who knows, but since I’m an action junkie, I’m quite intrigued. Quite intrigued, indeed. Quite intrigued indeed? Indeed! Indeed indeed indeed.
Quite intrigued indeed!
