Last month we announced that Constant C, a platformer by International Games System, was set to arrive on XBLA in Japan next year. In a new announcement, it has now been confirmed that the game will be coming to western territories alongside Japan. This means good news for those who wanted to step into the metallic feet of the little rescue robot.
For those of you who don't know what the premise of the game is, some more detailed information has been revealed.
In the not-too-distant future…
The [Superluminal Project] was initiated by the most brilliant scientists on earth under the guidance of the President and Professor Nicholas in the hopes of controlling the flow of time and space itself. The project was developed in a remote outer space research station with the full backing of the earth government. No expense was spared and the amount of resources dedicated to the project was unheard of in human history. This monumental undertaking bears with it the hopes and the expectations of all mankind regarding space and time travel.
But one day, time just suddenly stopped at the space station… The experiment, the people, everything was frozen in space and time.
A rescue robot is immediately dispatched to survey the damage to the space station and return things to normal operating parameters. However, things are in a worse state than you could have possibly imagined and now it’s up to you to fulfill all the duties that had been inevitably entrusted to you…
