DS releases for the week of July 28
Not a great deal out for DS owners in the U.S. or Europe this week, but a lot of options if you're willing to look to Japanese releases for your fix. Steal Princess, Windy x Windam, Rhythm Tengoku Gold, the larger of Koei's Nobunaga games, and everyone's favorite witch-touching game sees a sequel. In fact, you know what? If you need us, we'll be on a plane to Japan, since most of these aren't yet slated for release outside their mother country. Air Traffic Chaos Suzuki Super-Bikes Slog sadly past the break to see the rest of the major markets this week.
Secondary Ambition: Nobunaga no Yabou 2
Finally, we get to see a little more of that other Nobunaga's Ambition game -- not this one, but this one, the more traditional, more epic of the pair. Of course, we're just torturing ourselves, as neither of the two Koei titles have been announced for release outside Japan, but if E3 isn't a time for dreaming, then we don't know what is.There's a lot of new information about Nobunaga no Yabou 2, too; each level in the main mode will feature two difficulty settings (normal and hard), and there will be a number of different ways to play. Looks like there will also be an extensive tutorial, for those who need the help. We could use one for translating the Japanese text!%Gallery-27681%
Somebody's Ambition
There are so many Koei strategy games out there that it can be hard to keep them straight, especially when we can't read much of the text. It's even worse when there are two titles in the same series on the same system being promoted at the same time. In this case, the games actually interact with one another.The new Nobunaga no Yabou 2 (Nobunaga's Ambition 2) is a more traditional Nobunaga's Ambition game, focusing on the big (Japan-wide) picture rather than battles between individual units. It can connect to the more Advance Wars-like Kunitori Zunou Battle Nobunaga no Yabou via local wireless to unlock secret generals. While we wish either of these games would be released here, we just think it's neat to interface two different DS games to unlock stuff.%Gallery-19665%
