Atlus USA announces two cool lookin' games for ds and psp!

[Himu]

Go Atlus USA!

The Dark Spire

Calling all fans of classic, first-person role playing games! The Dark Spire™ for Nintendo DS™ is an RPG of exploration and character development in the purest sense. Parties will be assembled, stats will be rolled, items, weapons and armor shall be equipped, and monsters will be slain (and let's face it, some player characters, too).

Some adventurers will choose to play using the "modern" interface, its bold, stylized textures and palettes delivering a fresh, up-to-date adventure. Others may opt for the "classic" mode, guaranteed to evoke overwhelming sensations of nostalgia as it perfectly recreates the style and simplicity of the fathers of the genre. Two different presentation modes, two different ways to experience The Dark Spire!

The powerful Archmage Tyrhung resides in a tower of mist and shadow. He holds in his possession a jewel of great worth and power. A group of adventurers assemble. Will they be able to conquer Tyrhung and his nefarious tower? The party sets out, its fate yet to be determined...

"We are the Knights who say... NI!"
Continuing the tradition of Etrian Odyssey, Atlus's The Dark Spire is the next great homage to the RPG classics of old. Look for it to hit Nintendo DS™ on March 10, 2009 with an MSRP of $29.99.

Will you face the peril, or will it be too perilous?

Hammerin' Hero

[demi]

Yep, the Etrian Odyssey clone - or Wizardry, however you put it

[Himu]

Yes, but also like Distant said, platformer fans are so rabid for new games we'd buy it.

[littlemathletics]

Dark Spire looks pretty awesome.

[Mr. Gundam]

You should all buy Hammerin' Hero to support the genre. It's not perfect, but it's a platformer dammit!

Too bad Sony won't release their Bleach games in North America. Soul Carnival is a kick ass platformer, and I don't like the anime.

Shit, if Ikkitousen Eloquent Fist was released in North America, I'd make you all buy it.

[Himu]

well it's a platformer, so whether it's in english or not doesn't really matter.

[Mr. Gundam]

well it's a platformer, so whether it's in english or not doesn't really matter.

You can get the Asian verison for $43, it's really fun, and I'm sure it's better if you actually like license.

[Himu]

43 dollars? Damn. Maybe Fry's has it.

[Mr. Gundam]

43 dollars? Damn. Maybe Fry's has it.

The Fry's in Renton (Seattle) stopped carrying import DS and PSP titles, do they have them in Houston still?

[archie4208]

Dark Spire looks nice but I wish Atlus would go all the way and announce a SMT for the DS.

[Mr. Gundam]

Nippon Ichi USA is bringing X-Edge over for the PS3.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

It better be a budget release.

[Mr. Gundam]

I bet it's better than WKC

X-Edge got a 24 from Famitsu.

[cool breeze]

I tried the demo to the hammer game a long time ago and it was pretty fun

[Himu]

43 dollars? Damn. Maybe Fry's has it.

[Vizzys]

FUCK YES

PSP4000 FUCKING WHERE

[Mr. Gundam]

Ikuz! Gen-san was a lot of fun last year, enjoy guys!

[Kestastrophe]

I can't find the iso for Hammerin Hero anywhere

[GoofyGoober]

43 dollars? Damn. Maybe Fry's has it.

When did they do this? I liked going to that Fry's just for that import DS section in the back. It wasn't a big profit item I bet.

The last time I was in that Fry's the game section was getting smaller. I used to be able to find old PS2 and xbox games there. Which reminds me I need to find Fable 1 Lost Chapters.

Cause its not out...
