Germs: Gotta catch 'em all

Nintendo's Japanese website has been updated with details of Kurikin Nano Island Story for the DS. A few videos and screens demonstrate the soon to be released game, which has a definite whiff of Pokémon about it. Taking on the role of a student at Nano Academy, players must collect bacteria and send them into battle against rivals. There are over 100 types of bacteria to collect and they look a lot cuter than you'd expect.

The videos on the site show how the game's battle sequences will work. You use the stylus to select your germs, then send them into battle against the enemy. It's kind of like a sneeze based Command & Conquer. The battles in the videos take place in a fairly dull laboratory setting, but we're hoping to get the chance to take the battle into the human body; perhaps via a nose, or gangrenous leg.

As well as the screens and videos, you can also listen to perhaps the world's funkiest intro track on the site. The game is out in Japan on May 24th.
