Atlus and DS make contact

This Earthbound-ish game has been in the news before, mostly due to it being one of the first online-ready RPGs to emerge from the colorful recesses of Japan. Contact, which centers around the adventures of a young man trying to reassemble a wacky professor's spaceship, has now been picked up for localization by Atlus. Given that some of the prominent team members who worked on Trauma Center: Under the Knife will be helming this title, we expect it to be a fine localization indeed.

We'll be posting more information on the title and its exact online capabilities as soon as we get it. Needless to say, we've already been won over by the promise of animal-training mini-games. We love those.
