    Ignition USA and Tecmo, alongside Matrix Software and Red Entertainment, are bringing DS RPG Wind of Nostalgia to the US.

    Wind of Nostalgia Trailer

      

    •  Ambitious, fully 3D polygonal graphical engine offers dramatic, sweeping camera angles and impressive vistas rarely seen in a DS title.

    •  Cohesive, anime-inspired art direction that effectively captures the game's turn-of-the-century charm.

    •  Travel to incredibly unique, non-traditional RPG locales via airship including London, New York, Cairo, Africa, and Russia.

    •  Features two distinct combat engines: One is a brisk, turn-based close-quarters melee between your party members and monsters; while the other offers thrilling, large-scale airship battles. In addition, your battle skills are scored at the conclusion of each conflict, inspiring strategic mastery.

    •  Handy in-game notebook feature keeps track of people, monsters, airships and items you've run across.

    •   Plenty of user-defined customization, allowing the player to trick out his or her airship with various weapons, armor types, and special skill attacks.
    •  The player can also choose character-specific skills from a branching tree for a more personalized experience.

    •   Explore a variety of diverse, engaging dungeons that include brain bending puzzles and tricky Indiana Jones-style traps.

    •   Optional quest system inspires players to approach the adventure from a less linear perspective, extending the life of the gameplay experience.

    "I knew this game had such potential when I saw Mr. Morita's project book. It is an adventure game set in another Earth, offering an enjoyable story that involves various different cultures in many diverse locations. The key element that brings the game together is the airship, the conveyance which fits its game system and world-view. I wanted to make this idea into a product for everyone to play."

    - Nostalgia Producer, Keisuke Kikuchi


    "We feel deeply honoured for the opportunity to bring Tecmo's esteemed Japanese Nintendo DS role-playing game "Nostalgeo no Kaze" to an entirely new audience as Nostalgia. Amid a sea of remakes and rehashes, this endearing adventure blazes its own unique path with deeply engrossing gameplay systems, but it also hearkens back to the classic RPGs of yesteryear with its unforgettable characters and universal narrative themes."

    - Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment.

    More RPG love for the DS! This is almost cool enough for me to forgive Matrix for not using this time to remake FFV or VI

    I think it looks good, it may not have the polish of a SE game, but it does look like it will be good elsewhere.
