Comedy. Action. Ninjas? Read on for more info.
Atlus U.S.A., Inc. announced the acquisition of the North American publishing rights to Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, an original RPG designed exclusively for the Nintendo DS and slated to be released in the US February of 2007.
The game will feature a combat system focused on using Talismans in battle to cast spells or power up your weapon, and a weapon customization system. Dungeon areas are said to change each time they are entered.
This game also promises to have a light-hearted approch to the story while mixing "old-school" dungeon crawling. But why is the title character unemployed? From the press release:
Izuna: So you see, we were canned because "Ninjas are sooo yesterday," and now we're looking for a nice place to settle down... That stupid lord... Just wait'll I get my hands on that jerk! So anyways, we found this quaint little village, but... Everyone's actin' all weird. Grandboss's acting like a kid... Shino-Sis's all mean... What's going on!? I mean, what is up with this place!?
