Nostalgia, New Original DS RPG Announced
My June issue of Nintendo Power announced yet another RPG coming for the DS, Nostalgia. Apparently the game was designed with the spirit of the older games constantly downloaded on the Wii’s Virtual Console in mind. The story is an alternate historical universe set in the 19th century. The game takes you through real regions such as London and Egypt, but it still has the fantasy element of magic that most RPG gamers (like me) crave.
The article starts off saying that the game is reminiscent of Indiana Jones, and as I read through the game synopsis and elements, I could not agree more. The game starts off with an adventurer swooping in and rescuing a damsel in distress, hauls her to his airship, but the airship crashes and the adventurer winds up missing. It’s up to his son and the rescued damsel to find out what happened to him. Along the way, they’ll use airships, magic, and discover artifacts and lost worlds. There is even a screenshot of a character running from a giant, rolling boulder.
A fantasy-based Indy game? SIGN ME UP!
Scheduled release is currently set for September of this year. I hope I can speedily finish Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days so I can quickly get my hands on this potential gem.
