Impulse Gamer: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is a turn based strategy game, designed to play in a manner that’s more accessible to new players and not just strategy game buffs (but that’s debateable). This game blends elements from strategy games with elements of third-person shooter games yet it doesn’t take away the focus on keeping a good strategy to perform well. It’s a curious mix for a game, and the concept has rarely been done in the past, which makes this game unique and ideal for fans of either genre who want to try getting into the other.
Their business practices aren’t perfect, but Nintendo makes games like nobody else. But they also have their fair share of games that nobody played.
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is a game that is divisive, to say the least. It’s an underappreciated classic that regularly appears on clearance racks. Which is a shame, given the involvement of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem developer Intelligent Systems and the sorcery it works to get an XCOM-like experience onto the Nintendo 3DS. Especially since now, as it turns five years old, it holds up so well.
The game was great. It would be cool to get a sequel on switch but I'm not sure if it sold well enough to warrant that.

I’d just like the remasters of Ocerina of Time and Majoras Mask. Those were both great ports that looked nice and smooth. Would love a proper camera control in OoT that was implemented in MM3D.
