According to Kotaku and various other sources, Atlas plans to import yet another Japanese RPG to North American shores. Legacy of Ys: Books I & II for the DS will likely ship on February 10, 2009. This game will be a remake of Ys I and Ys II.
The Ys series has over ten games I the series and is over 20 years old already. The two games included in this pack originally came out in 1987 and 1988, respectively, for computers. The two games are currently available on Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console as well. Released as two seperate remakes, Books I & II will come out as a single game in February.
Received this a few days ago, Ignition Entertainment will be bringing over BOING Docomodake for the DS to the States.
More information as well as the full press release after the jump.
Probably the most badass otaku hero to grace gaming console, Travis Touchdown, will be returning in No More Heroes Deperate Struggle. Announced earlier today at the Tokyo Game Show 2008, little else is known about the title, with no release date or console information though probably on the Wii.
Some speculate that it may be a DS spinoff due to the title "Desperate Stuggle"; however, the trailer specifically labels the game as "NMH2" for No More Heroes 2.
Update: Confirmed that this game will be for the Wii and two versions of the game will be released, one with heavy blood while the other will be censored.

When Nintendo isn't busy sending it's calvalcade of polite Japanese businessmen to your home, hocking Wii consoles door-to-door, the big N spends it's time making quirky commercials and Youtube promo spots (and video games, I guess).. The best one I've come across is for a game that has been on store shelves for a little over a week and stars Mario's gruff, greedy, and gluttonous nemesis: Wario. The big treasure-hunting lummox would like you to view his crazy, off-the-wall Youtube video -- in which he demonstrates his repertoire of abilities while the world, and the actual Youtube page, shatters under his might. So if you've got a bit of time, catch it (The video is embedded above, but it begs to be seen in full, so click here to view it), and perhaps you'll find your very own treasure. Okay, that was a bold-faced lie, there is no treasure, but it's still worth a couple minutes of your time.
Wii owners can rejoice as another fighting game is (finally) slated to hit the console.
