Twin Age localized, summoned to the US

No more than two weeks after we goaded you into importing a discounted copy of Summon Night: Twin Age, Atlus has announced its plans to translate and bring the ARPG stateside this May 20th. If you're one of those unfortunate kids who made the mistake of following our advice, you have our apologies. Hopefully, you've learned your lesson.

As with Phantom Hourglass, Twin Age makes heavy use of the touchscreen, allowing you to explore maps, attack enemies, and cast spells using just your stylus. You'll have two heroes to manage, though: Reiha, a young girl versed in the "magical art of Summoning," and Aldo, a "Summon Beast." There's a lot to play with, too, including side quests, weapon crafting, and alternate story paths and endings.

Atlus has already set up a site for the English release, but you should still check out the Japanese page for its web-based demo! Click around the menu, and you'll see what we mean. If you'd rather not leave the safety of DS Fanboy's arms, you can still see more of Summon Night: Twin Age in our gallery below!

LOVED Summon Night on the GBA, so I'm very excited about this. Sad to see the Tales-esque linear battle system gone, but this doesn't look bad either. The first Summon Night had me literally laughing out loud--great translation job by Atlus. :)

Still sad I never got to play the third GBA game though. :( Port it to DS, Atlus!

The music for that trailer was pretty sweet.

Actually, about two weeks ago, I didn't import the game. I actually went out and bought Summon Night 2 for the GBA. Still playing through it from time to time. But anywho, this should keep me occupied on my DS until Nintendo decides to be bring Soma Bringer over here.
