Unemployed Ninjas Wandering To The DS

izunaa.gif Ta to Jiji and GoNintendo for pointing out info on a new Atlus dungeon hack for the DS debuting in the States early next year, so we figured we'd pass on.

It's explained: "DerrickDS was doing some hunting when he came across a title called Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. The title was due to be released from Atlus. Having never heard of the title, he got in touch with Atlus, who gave him this response."

Which was: “Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, I know not much about. It’s a random-dungeon-crawling RPG with a wacky/silly sense of humor. Tons and tons of items and combat, in the vein of the Mysterious Dungeon series. Another 1Q ‘07 shipper. Right now, we don’t have a detailed description just yet, but I will know more in the next month.” There's some earlier info on the Success-developed version on GoNintendo.

Comments

At last. A mindless (hopefully) dungeon hack for a portable... An obviously perfect idea.

I wish that said "Mystical Ninja" instead. Why no US Goemon love?

If it's mindless than noooo thanks. If it's a (good) clone off the Mysterious Dungeon games it might be good.

(Yeah, if there's even a chance a game being discussed could be a roguelike I'm duty-bound to comment upon it. It's a thankless job but someone has to do it.)

i think this game is going to be awsome and great
