Fans of the Ys series of RPGs will probably want to go pick up a DS. Atlus has announced that, on February 10, 2009, it will be releasing Legacy of Ys: Books I & II on the DS. The two games will be available on one cartridge for $34.99, not bad considering in Japan the two DS remakes were released separately. If you’ve never heard of the series before, they’re action/rogue-like RPGs that are somewhat similar to Legend of Zelda.
The first Ys begins with Adol Christin being tasked with defeating the evil forces and gathering the six Ys books so he can learn how to defeat the monsters and villains he’ll face and find his way to the floating land of Ys. The second Ys picks up right after the events of Ys I, with Adol finding Ys and still trying to defeat the evil forces plaguing both Ys and the lands of Esteria. The DS versions of the games are remade with better, 3D graphics.
If you want to play, but don’t want to pay $34.99, Wii owners have an alternative. The TurboGrafx16 version of Ys Book I & II was released on Virtual Console in August, 2008. It only costs 800 Wii Points/$8.00 there. If you don’t mind playing the classic version, its a good deal.
Bob is upset. He just spent 5 years creating a game to be played on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo won’t sell him what he needs to actually market the game. So what is he doing? Sitting in his basement for 100 days to protest…
