We heard a bit about
Glory of Heracles at this year's E3, but news about the mythology-based Nintendo DS RPG hasn't been forthcoming since. Sound the heavenly trumpets:
Nintendo confirmed that Glory of Heracles is coming on January 18, 2010.
Set in ancient Greece,
Glory of Heracles is the latest installment in a popular Japanese RPG series by the now-defunct developer Data East. Nintendo worked on
Glory of Heracles with a new company, Paon, and took on Kazushige Nojima as a writer. Nojima wrote parts of
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and
X.
Pew pew! Looking for some gun-slinging, hard-driving action?
C.O.P. The Recruit might be right for you. Or it might not. That's why this review was published, you see.
Get ready for Sonic on the go. On Tuesday, Sega Europe announced that
Sonic Classic Collection will be coming to the Nintendo DS in early 2010.
This handheld roundup of Sonic the Hedgehog's legacy on the Sega Genesis (
Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and
Sonic and Knuckles) has been confirmed in Europe, but no American release date has been disclosed yet. Regardless,
Sonic the Hedgehog is a hot property in North America, and a Stateside release is almost assured.
Moreover,
preview screenshots available at Sonic City Blognik show Sonic standing side-by-side with his sometimes-rival, Knuckles the Echidna. Does this mean simultaneous two-player action will somehow be added to the collection? If so, it's a pretty big deal.
