3DS exclusive title called Nazo Waku Yakata scheduled for summer release.

Capcom's Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is launching alongside the Nintendo 3DS later this week, but that's not the only game the Japanese publisher has planned for the upcoming device. The company recently revealed another 3DS title slated for release later in the year called Nazo Waku Yakata.
According to the latest issue of Famitsu, the adventure game will be directed by Minoru Nakai, who was credited for games such as Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Mega Man Legends 2.The game will have character designs from famed Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi. The scenario director is Yukinori Kitajima, who recently wrote the scenario for Okamiden.

One of the more interesting characters in Nazo Waku Yakata.
The game is dubbed as a "sound adventure" title where players explore different rooms in the mansion called the Nazo Waku that's also filled with strange residents and guests. Separating itself from other adventure games is the exclusion of buttons for controls. The action is shown on the top 3D screen, but gamers can navigate using the touch icons on the bottom screen. Rooms can be examined by tilting the 3DS in a direction players wish to examine thanks to the 3DS' gyro controls. Players can also interact with said residents by speaking through the 3DS microphone.
The rooms themselves will have specific sets of interactions and themes, such as the Massage Room where you can interact with residents dressed in bathing suits, an Insect Room where the sound of hornets buzz through a players ear, and a Fireworks Room where gamers have to hold the system steadily to avoid lighting up fireworks.
The game will make use of 3D audio through a technology called Optophonics. This technique offers 360 degree sound through any output, be it the 3DS speakers or earphones. The team has a special Optophonics technician to help with the game's recording process.
Nazo Waku Yakata's development is 60 percent complete and is due for a Summer release. To check out a sample of the game's 3D audio, head to Capcom's official page of the game.
