In the game, players will take control of Mag Kid, a strange creature who has special magnetic abilities which he uses to attach enemies to himself and gain their powers somewhat similar to how Kirby sucks and swallows his enemies. Using each enemy's powers, you will also have to solve an array of puzzles and defeat several bosses.
During gameplay, as players move the DS around on the surface, the device will track movement and move Mag Kid on screen accordingly. By sliding your DS forwards, Mag Kid will ram into enemies which will paralyse them and allow their powers to be yours. Once you tire of your newly accuried powers, a simple shake of the DS console will release them.
From what Famitsu have reported, it certainly sounds interesting but whether or not the peripheral becomes another ill-fated gimmick remains to be seen. The game is currently scheduled for a release in Japan on 2nd August this year, with a Western release still pending. We'll report back once new information becomes available.
