    Good news for those of us interest in the NIS RPG game of A Witch's Tale.  Apparently it is scheduled (loosely) for Autumn this year in the USA.  Somewhere around Hallowe'en apparently.  That is quite quick when the Japanese release is only late May.

    Here is what we do know (from wiki):

    No Caption Provided
    A Witch's Tale    , to be released in Japan as Witch Tale: The Apprentice Witch and the Seven Princesses (ウィッチテイル 見習い魔女と7人の姫 Witchi Teiru Minarai Majo to Shichinin no Hime), is an upcoming game for the Nintendo DS. It was published by Nippon Ichi Software and developed by Hitmaker.

    Plot
    No Caption Provided
    Thousands of years ago, powerful witches lived beneath the earth and one day invaded the surface world. Alice, a mystical savior, appeared and used the witchs' magic against them, sealing them away. However, the Witch Queen is apparently still lurking beneath the land, waiting for a chance to return to power.

    Gameplay
    No Caption Provided
    Battles are fought by having players draw runes with the stylus on the     Nintendo DS touch screen to attack enemies.

    History
    No Caption Provided
    After releasing     Disgaea and Puchi Puchi Virus for the Nintendo DS, NIS America announced in the summer of 2008 they would also remake Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure and release a new game, A Witch's Tale, in October of 2008.   Nintendo Power described the game as an "action-RPG with a The Nightmare Before Christmas-esque art style" in their August 2008 issue, before they had a chance to play it.

    While originally slated for a winter 2008 released, it has been pushed back, now apparently aiming for Halloween 2009, and dropping the action aspect of the RPG.

    A Witch's Tale was developed by Hitmaker, known for Blade Dancer and Dragoneer's Aria and is their first Nintendo DS game.  According to Haru Akenaga, the President of NIS America, A Witch's Tale is targeting a North American audience.



    This is all good news to me.  Barring a major stuff up with the game, this is very high on my list.  Anyone else pleased by the local release news?

    "Looks cool. Not a fan of that box art though. Something very MS Paint about it."
    Whilst I don't hate it, I agree.  They could have easily come up with a better image than that.  Maybe it isn't the final boxart.
