The official website for this upcoming DS RPG has been updated (in Japanese) with new information, some new art, and... a Nintendo WiFi logo.

Contact, a new DS RPG being developed by Grasshopper (the makers of Killer 7), has seen an update to its official Japanese website. Of particular note, the Nintendo WiFi Connection logo is now prominently displayed on the top page, though the precise of these online features is still unrevealed. The title "Contact" itself could certainly prove telling however.

The game, which will allow the player to direct characters realtime in battle, offers varied customization options for the main character in the form of different costumes and "skills". Graphically, Contact combines some sharp realistic backdrops with vivid, brightly colored sprites. Some screens (and brief story notes for Japanese readers) can be seen here. Going here will allow you to view some character art from the game, and clicking here will take you to some cool downloadable desktop images.

The game, to be published by Marvelous Interactive, is due in Japan at the end of March 2006. Presently, the game is unannounced for Western markets.
