Nippon Ichi Brings Rhapsody to Nintendo DS

C3 reports: "The old school Musical RPG from ten years ago on the PSone is set to return on Nintendo DS thanks to Japanese developer Nippon Ichi. The company has opened up the teaser website for Marl Oukoku no Ningyouhime, the game that is being lined up for a 7th August, 2008 release in Japan. For those that have not heard of the original game, which came to the US via Atlus under the name 'Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure', the game centres around a young girl called Cornet who can talk to puppets. She has a special magical horn that can grant wishes, as well as a best friend called Kururu that happens to be a puppet who was previously her best friend. There were two sequels to the original title, neither of which were translated for the West. Nothing has been said about whether they will eventually come to DS as well, though."

Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.

Wait, how is Rhapsody a "Good Soundtrack?"

Anyway, the museum music in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is like the only song I don't enjoy.

Breaking Benjamins song in Halo 2 was way out of place, and awful.

Wedge193328d ago

So many albums have THAT song that just highlights how good the rest of the soundtrack is.

I dont want to even know why the $%#/ someone would thin any song in FF9 stains the soundtrack...

Just because a game is geared towards women doesn't mean men will catch cooties from trying it out. This list suggests men give Style Savvy: Trendsetter, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Atelier Meruru, Princess Debut and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure a chance.

I've enjoyed all the games listed here except for Hakuoki. Princess Debut is my favorite, and one every big burly man should play at least once.

Fantastic list.

If this is your way of justifying kiddie games, then do what you gotta do.

I hear "Fiddle the Bean" is pretty fun.

From the Artelier paragraph, 'the heroines are almost always female.' No crap sherlock!

Anyways, its true, one of the reasons I've never tried the Artelier games on PS3 is that it seems girly. Might give it a go as soon as the PSV port is released.
