Bahamut: Making the DS Colossal
Today, Square Enix launched the official (Japanese) page for Blood of Bahamut, which includes a game play trailer as well as screen shots. My first impression is of a Shadow of the Colossus RPG-cross for the DS, and I’m not far off.
Bahamut features over 130 missions, 7 heroes, and great beasts which were once the foundations of cities of the world of Altail. Combat appears to be a real time RPG-style combat system, and both DS screens are used to capitalize on the size of the creations. It also appears that you must fight your way close to the colossi that you face, and combat against these beasts seems to be a combination of typical attacks and the interactive climb-and-destroy that we saw in Shadow of the Colossus a while ago.

No release date’s available yet. But you can be sure that this is a game I’m going to get. Shadow of the Colossus was a favorite game of mine, although I haven’t picked it up since my “oops, forgot to save after beating the game” mishap. Combine that with my favorite hand-held system, and good things are bound to happen.
