Together with new apprentice Anne-Marie, the hero and Kay are pulled into a conflict that could change the course of Puppet history…ĭeveloped by Sandlot, the studio behind the Earth Defense Force series, Mecha MG combines the developer’s aptitude for larger-than-life spectacle with a unique and innovative use of the DS touch screen: in addition to standard movement with the D-Pad, each of the game’s 100+ playable mecha has its own unique “cockpit” controlled with the touch screen. But their peaceful daily life is shattered when the autonomous Puppets known as the Automen begin going on berserk rampages around the world. In a world where giant robots known as Marionation Gear, or “Puppets”, are artisanally handcrafted in workshops, a certain boy serves as an apprentice at the Galouye Workshop, dreaming of becoming a “Puppeteer” (mecha pilot) and opening his own workshop with fellow apprentice Kay. Chou Soujuu Mecha MG is a 2006 mecha action game developed by Sandlot and published by Nintendo.
