Certainly an interesting concept for a videogame is one in which you control the news and there definitely seems to be an element of "art" imitating life along with a touch of realisim to Headliner: NoviNews, or at least that's how it seems to this writer as someone who reports on Nintendo related videogame news.

But purely as a game this is an example of a gap in the market which seems to bring an original genre where you play the role of an editor and it will be available on August 19th for the price of £11.99 on the eShop.

Check below for the latest Press Release info and a trailer...

A stack of news article sits on your desk, two stampers on each side – green to approve, red to reject. Your reporting team is hacking away in the background as corporate music plays through the loudspeaker. It’s time to make decisions. Will you endorse nationalized healthcare, even though your love interest is worried about increased wait times? Will you demonize the new synthetic alcoholic drink, even though your boss stressed they are an important investor? Will you support current government, as tensions grow between the neighboring country?

After work, you emerge on the streets of Novistan, shaped by the very news you publish. Perhaps you will see more graffiti, angry bums or even a riot? Or perhaps you will turn the nation into peaceful utopia, filled with cameras and drones watching your every step? How will your channel address tragic events about to happen? Will you agree to meet the clandestine group of truthtellers, or stop to watch the Prime Minister’s speech?

On the way home you meet with three main characters: Evie, your co-worker and immigrant, worried about her health and growing xenophobic sentiment; your brother Justin, an aspiring comedian struggling with impostor syndrome and social anxiety; finally Rudy, a single father trying to provide for his little girl and keep his store afloat, while a mega-mart opens up next door. Each day provides a glimpse into their life and how the media shapes their beliefs.

But every Headliner deserves to relax at home from the stress of the job. Listen to the radio and unwind on the comfy couch bought with hard-earned cash, as you watch the city burn outside the window. Perhaps splurge on treats to feed your doggo? Adopt a drone? Have your brother over for dinner? Or maybe keep your doors locked, hoarding every penny, as your apartment slowly fills with piles of cash?

After good night’s sleep, it’s time to once again face to boss, new articles, a growing sense of responsibility, and…. power.

Will you be lining up to make some headlines when this game releases? Does this titles situational awareness and how you affect the virtual world around you with the news appeal to you? Or will you be tuning out unless there's any breaking news to potentially persuade you otherwise?
