For decades, Shigeru Miyamoto had a desire to create a realistic flight simulation game. While he did end up making {{uv|Pilotwings}}, he was not personally satisfied with the flight mechanics and believed the simulation aspects were not realistic enough. Miayamoto eventually had the idea of making a submarine simulation game, as they were big and bulky like a passenger aircraft.<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/how-nintendo-3ds-made/4/3]</ref> The game was originally planned for the [[Nintendo DS]], with development progressing all the way to having a playable demo at [[E3]] 2004. However, development stalled for several years due to scheduling conflicts and Miyamoto being unable to adequately create his vision on the hardware. Development picked up again when the internal specifications of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] became known company-wide, which were much more compatible for the game. Development shifted to the new system and the game was re-revealed at E3 2010 as a launch title. <ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/how-nintendo-3ds-made/4/4]</ref> The game officially released in North America on March 27, 2011 and in the rest of the world in May of that year. | For decades, Shigeru Miyamoto had a desire to create a realistic flight simulation game.

The game mainly consists of the player piloting and operating various submarines, strategically maneuvering through the water and taking down the enemy naval fleet without getting sunk yourself. The controls are a series of simulated sliders and dials that must be interacted with on the bottom touch screen to move and fire weapons like torpedos. The game also has several modes, including the main campaign of a secret militia taking down a rogue nation and their navy, time trials of missions, a mode where the player has to aim the periscope and fire torpedos called ''Periscope Strike'', and a competitive | The game mainly consists of the player piloting and operating various submarines, strategically maneuvering through the water and taking down the enemy naval fleet without getting sunk yourself.
