Interchannel-Holon plans to remake of Ys I and Ys II for the Nintendo DS, according to Famitsu. Ys I was originally released on the PC in 1987, followed by Ys II in 1988. The series has become a popular RPG title, spawning several sequels and ports released on game consoles over the years.
The remake will see new character animations, such as Adol swinging a sword instead of bumping into enemies and encounter all-new enemies and maps. The top screen will display the game field, while the bottom screen sports player stats.
Few video game franchises capture the spirit of adventure as earnestly as Falcom’s Ys. Ys is a love letter to the adventurer in all of us.
If it werent for the Vita i would've never discovered this awesome series. Last entry was not as good tho, still good, just not as good as the previous entries to me.
