The new IP from Intelligent Systems, Code Name S.T.E.A.M., has been applauded for its visuals and creativity. What it hasn’t been applauded for, however, is the amount of time a player spends watching what’s happening on the screen… without acting at all. A person could knit several sweaters in the time spent waiting for the enemy AI to move, and often the player doesn’t even have a good view of what the enemy is actually doing.
Nintendo and the developers realized this was a massive problem, and they announced in this month’s Nintendo Direct that they were releasing an update soon to reduce wait times. That update has now gone live!
For players on a regular Nintendo 3DS or 2DS, you’ll be able to speed up the enemy’s turn to be twice as fast. Those playing on a New Nintendo 3DS, you’ll triple the speed of play.
Does this change your mind on playing Code Name S.T.E.A.M. if you haven’t checked it out already?
