Tecmo has released a new animation video of Wind of Nostalgio for the Nintendo DS. In this new RPG, the player takes the role of a young boy named Eddie, he will have to find his father who has disappeared mysteriously. The game is coming out on November 6 in Japan.
Overall, Nostalgia does many things well but nothing that stands out. It's got a good story, fun gameplay, and little details that shows this game was made with attentive care. However, basing its premise in old school gameplay with some stereotypical RPG bits makes hard to call a must-have for all DS owners. All in all, Nostalgia is great for any RPG fan out there looking for a slightly quirky but fun romp on their DS.
According to an e-mail by Ken Berry from XSEED it is. Ben sent a tip (thanks!!) and pointed us to a NeoGAF thread where a forum user by the name of Hero of Legend (the same one here, perhaps?) has been gathering requests and pinging XSEED's director of publishing to see if he's aware of them. In response to Winds of Nostalgio Berry flat out says "this is coming to the US".
No word on the publisher, but it might not be XSEED. It's probably Tecmo considering they have an arm in North America and published Winds of Nostalgio in Japan. At Tokyo Game Show I tested out the airship combat which felt just like regular combat in an RPG. Winds of Nostalgio may not reinvent the RPG wheel, but it has high production values. Matrix Software, the team behind Final Fantasy IV DS, developed Winds of Nostalgio.
Tecmo has released some new screenshots of Wind of Nostalgio for the Nintendo DS in Famitsu magazine. Scheduled for November 6 in Japan, this new RPG developed by Matrix Software was reviewed in Famitsu and scored a 30/40.
