This winter, Ragnarok Online DS is coming to North America thanks to Xseed. The portable game is based on the Ragnarok Online universe and expands it with a stand alone adventure starring Ares, an orphan who turned into an adventurer as an adult. Ares and Sierra, a girl who lost her memories, set out to save the world.

New content for Ragnarok Online fans include extra classes like the Dark Knight and Shaman.

The “online” portion of the title refers to the Tower of Mirages, a series of randomly generated maps with 50 floors of rare items. Three players can meet up wirelessly and slay puffy slimes with touch screen commands.

Hearing that Xseed picked up Ragnarok Online DS tells us another subtle bit of information. GungHo developed Ragnarok Online DS for Japan. So, Xseed is making publishing deals with GungHo. GungHo is working on a PSP remake of Lunar. Xseed said flat out they picked up a PsOne remake…

Well, I wouldn't say that's the reason... It's just that it's aimed at RO players, and RO isn't very popular in NA. I hope they're not expecting good sales from this one.

It's actually quite popular worldwide. Even in NA I believe. Private servers and original servers have many players from NA playing on them. But what they don't see is that, possibly a lot of the NA players which play RO doesn't have a DS.

wow.. all that translation of the japanese version is going to go to waste :/

shakirmoledina · May 17, 2009

finally it comes out... and it's not online

guardian_457 · May 17, 2009

does anyone have an idea of what the 2 new classes will be ?

Cavedude · May 17, 2009

I feel bad for the translators who did the patched one = /. i loved their work tho!

MeleeMaster500 · May 17, 2009

Unrelated, I really liked that roguelike DOS game called valhalla or ragnarok. whenever I search for that game, i generally get results for ragnarok online....

someone needs to make DOS games work on the ds, outside of ds2win...

N-TG · May 18, 2009

I love ragnaroc online and at last I could play it on my ds...

(But I know japanese and I could read it...partially...)
Now I must find a wi-fi connection for some online modes

Hadrian · May 18, 2009

Thought it was crap personally.

Domination · May 18, 2009

This game looks pretty nice.... I'm looking forward to it

But I would prefer localization of some other quality titles like Inazuma Elven and the Tales of games....

@dongdrian: Nice new name....

Xseed can translate this but not Game Center CX 2?
They should be able to do both >.<

I played RO back in its free beta days.
VEry very slow progression.
Though the music was top notch.

I've played a little bit of the Japanese one and it stays true to most of the RO things but actually gives it a bit of a story for once.
Also it should have local and online play I think. Just not Online MMO play.
Atleast I think anyway, I never got far enough to find out.

The game should make some decent sales in the US I predict.
