DS sequels hitting Japan soon; NOA’s chance to make up arises

We have some sweet, sweet DS mews to report. After a Nintendo business meeting in Japan, a good amount of new titles and releases were divulged. First of all, Fire Emblem DS, an enhanced remake of the first FE game way back in the NES days, will see Japanese release on August 7. That’s good, but here’s the true ‘sweetness’; a new Densetsu no Stafi game is in the works for the DS, as well as another Rhythm Tengoku. The first is a popular 2D platformer to the likes of Mario, and is quite a popular franchise in the Land of the Rising Sun; the rest of the world, however, hasn’t seen much of the little chubby yellow star, except from a relatively useless appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The latter, Rhythm Tengoku, was a cult classic import titles for the GBA; one of the system’s last gems, really, with addictive rhythm-based gameplay with a twist, from the developers of the WarioWare titles. Although there are no specific details to report on either of the newly announced games, we should be able to get more info soon, seeing how both titles are set to storm Japanese DS systems this July.

So now we have three titles from franchises that have yet to see the light in American soil; Densetsu no Stafi, Rhythm Tengoku, and Daigasso! Band Brothers. This would be a great time for Nintendo of America to make it up to us and bring these games over for a change. We will continue to gather relevant info and pass it on to you as soon as we can get it.
