Japanese developer Inti Creates (Mega Man 9 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/mega-man-9), Mega Man ZX) will launch its latest game Azure Striker: Gunvolt via the Nintendo 3DS eShop this summer (http://www.4gamer.net/games/249/G024999/20140306072/), with Mega Man character designer Keiji Inafune serving as executive producer.

Azure Striker: Gunvolt is a 2D side-scrolling action game starring a character with psychic powers, allowing him to harness the power of lightning for ranged attacks and other special abilities. The game shares much of its creative staff with Mighty No. 9 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/mighty-no-9), a Mega Man spiritual successor funded (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/01/mighty-no-9-concludes-funding-with-over-3-8-million/) via Kickstarter last year.

Azure Striker: Gunvolt will premiere in the Japanese eShop (as Armed Striker: Gunvolt) this summer. A North American release date has not been confirmed, though the game's official website (http://www.gunvolt.com/) notes that an ESRB rating is pending.
