E3 2010: Natsume’s bringing 4 DS games

Natsume’s going DS-crazy this year at E3 2010. The company has just announced all of the games that it will bringing to the show and, surprisingly, they’re all DS games. Three of the four games are highly expected and anticipated titles, while the fourth is a bit of a surprise addition.

If you’re attending E3 2010, you can check out Natsume at booth 823. It’s in the South Hall, right next to Namco Bandai and Ubisoft.

Let’s take a closer look at Natsume’s E3 2010 lineup…

Lufia series headed to the DS

Last week, Famitsu revealed that the next issue would reveal new information on the Lufia series of games, called Estpolis in Japan. This week, as promised, the November 19, 2009 issue of Famitsu revealed pretty much everything you’d need to know about Square Enix’s Estpolis: The Lands Cursed by the Gods.

First of all, it’s a DS game. So much for thoughts of an epic console RPG. It’ll be out February 25, 2010 in Japan, but a North American release hasn’t been confirmed or denied yet. Neverland, who created most of the original Lufia games and is well known for the recent Rune Factory series, is once again the developer, as Famitsu hinted at in its original article. Neverland is also making it an action RPG this time around, so it’ll be more like the Legend of Zelda or Ys games. Previous entries in the series were all turn-based.

1Up is also the first to report that Estpolis: The Lands Cursed by the Gods is a reimagining of the SNES game Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
