Tsumuji announced for DS. Looks like EA’s Zelda
EA has announced Tsumuji for the DS, a new title that is their American spin on Nintendo’s Zelda series.
As you’d expect, the game plays very similarly to The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, complete with stylus controls for all of the main character’s movements. The game is from a top-down perspective and wherever you tap is where your ninja boy will move to.
The game is primarily an action adventure game where you will also encounter platforming sections that have you skipping across a river on stones or leaping through tree branches and also incorporates stealth.
Graphically the game has an anime style to attract Japanese audiences and uses effects like blurring to give a sense of speed.
The game does not yet have a release outside of Japan, but hopefully it’ll come over. As it is an interesting genre to see EA tackle.
Here’s an interview with the producer on the game which also shows some still pictures.
If you ask me, it looks a little too similar to Zelda’s DS titles.
