Project DA DS

News: Project DA On Nintendo DS

NeoPong Software have unveiled "Project DA" -- one of the few RPGs set to launch on the Nintendo DS.

Support for the Nintendo DS is still going strong, as Neopong Software - (what?)- reveal "Project DA" (working title), a stat-filled RPG stuffed with an epic twisting narrative and, you guessed it, plenty of magic. Information is thin on the ground, but this is an extract from the information on the official page:

"Project DA (temporary title) is a work in progress. Tat has a mysterious power, Valin has a mysterious past; perhaps it's no surprise that these two became best friends and set out to learn the truth about themselves. What they find is high adventure, a couple of lovely ladies and dark, terrible truth. Join Tat, Valin, Althea, Pias and the whole crew as they embark on a fantastic adventure full of swords and sorcery, love and betrayal and more than a little goblin stomping!"

The folks over at Gamesarefun also conducted an interview with NeoPong about their GBA project, and also "Project DA". Here's an extract:

Gamesarefun: Do you feel that getting yourself on the DS early will be a good move as an RPG developer? The current lineup includes a lot of unique games, but RPGs are not in excess.

Charles Galyon (NeoPong): Indeed, I feel that lining up on the DS as soon as possible is a good idea. The GBA is still a viable platform and not to be ignored, but with the DS's backwards compatibility and abilities I think it is a platform better suited for Project DA. We can do more of the things we originally intended and offer the player a better experience on the DS. The fact that there are not a lot of RPG's slated for release yet, well, that's only icing on the cake. I imagine part of that is due to the amount of time required for us developers to familiarize ourselves with the DS hardware and the amount of time required to produce an RPG though.

We'll have more on "Project DA" as it breaks.
