Yet another RPG for the DS has been announced, Wind of Nostalgia.

Its by Matrix Software who handled FF3 & 4 as well as the forthcoming Avalon Code.

So I'm guessing that this is the 3rd RPG game in 4 that Famitsu are said to be featuring. Should keep the RPG crowd happy for next year but can we have some none RPG games announced please?

I just hope it gets released outside Japan. There are a lot of good games that stay in Japan

how expensive can it be to localize something?

what would we need?

- one or two native english speakers with good japanese knowledge who work together a week or two with the original team.
- maybe another month for those 1 or 2 guys to translate everything.
- a coder from the original team for a few days to do some changes where necessary.
- a month of testing done by some kids that cost nothing. this is optional also :]

= 2 weeks of (part of) the original team, 2 native speakers for a month

even if it won't sell well in the rest of the world, i bet it would cover the (little?) costs in most cases. if that's what they're concerned about.

Very cool. Glad to see Tecmo (or is it Temco

) slowly doing more on the DS. It's taken them a while it seems.
