Battle Sports Mekuru launching overseas this Summer, devs won't say what game inspired their work

USgamer: What was the inspiration for Mekuru? How long has it been in development?

Senri Tsunokawa: There was one game that directly inspired us, but I'm not sure it's OK to mention its name... it was a game [title redacted by request] released overseas a while ago, and it was the big inspiration for us. As for the length of time it's been in development, we started in October 2017, so it's been about seven months.

USG: Do you have a target release date for the game?

ST: Right now the only thing we can say for an overseas release is "this summer."

Later on in the interview, we hear both Bomberman and Splatoon discussed openly, so those games aren't the inspiration. I would love to know what the game is! Anyone have any guesses?
