According to one of Nintendo's press areas, two Japanese Nintendo DS titles are currently heading for Europe (and possibly the US): Bokura ha Kaseki Holder DS and Herakles no Eikou.


Big news for the RPG fans among us. Although not officially announced yet, one of Nintendo of Europe's release schedules is currently showing both Bokura ha Kaseki Holder DS (the gotta-catch'em-all-Dino-title stated as merely 'Kaseki') and Herakles no Eikou (put down as 'Herakles') for a 'TBC' release in Europe.
No official confirmation of the games nor any information about the titles have been given out yet, however with the help from some of our colleagues from RPGfan we can give you the following pieces of information on the Herakles no Eikou.


Herakles no Eikou
Similar to its 8 and 16-bit predecessors, the new title's story is based on ancient Greek mythology. In the age of legend, the gods rule over the world, magic does exist on earth, and heroes work their miracles. On the backdrop of this setting, players will assume control over a young man who has lost his memory. Meeting friends, he slowly but surely finds out about his destiny. It turns out he is immortal, but he still doesn't know who he is and why he is immortal. Hence he sets out on a journey to find the truth. This journey will eventually lead him to Mount Olympus where the Gods dwell.

Heracles no Eikou: Tamashii no Shoumei's battles are turn-based. In battle players have standard attacks, magic, skills and abilities at their disposal. Abilities are special actions happening automatically under certain conditions. The effects of attack magic and skills can be improved by performing certain movements with the DS' stylus. In the game's towns and cities, players can create and upgrade their equipment or transform "rusty items" obtained during their journey into powerful equipment.
