EA Japan making Zelda-alike for DS News

DS News by Robert Purchese

23 September, 2009

EA Japan is making an action RPG for DS called Tsumuji.

It looks a lot like The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, judging by the first batch of screenshots, which we've stuffed into a gallery for you.

Tsumuji plays a lot like Nintendo's brilliant DS game, too: all controls are mapped to the stylus and there's a hefty dose of puzzling to swallow.

The story follows young ninja Tsumuji as he learns his craft around his idyllic rural village. Whether he'll venture out and embark on a world-saving quest isn't known, nor is anything past his rudimentary rock throwing, hiding and crawling abilities - combat hasn't been shown.

That's the Spirit. He's on the right Tracks.

Damn so close to being first LOL

Just hope it plays well, just because it's similar to Zelda doesn't automatically make it awesome. If you don't believe me just ask Starfox legend of tim... sorry that's Starfox Adventure ;).

Of course it can suck but at least it has the potential to be good and more good 2D Zelda-likes are always good.

Yeah, it's shameless and looks embarrassingly easy from the short footage, but let's just wait and see. Spirit Tracks doesn't look like distilled genius either compared to older portable Zelda games.

i really wish they'd ditch stylus controls, even when it works i still find myself wishing i could use the d pad, it ruined Phantom Hourglass, PoP and Scribblenauts...

Looks ok, not quite as charming as the game it's clearly borrowing from though. It better offer something unique before Nintendo starts suing!

On another note, I don't know why people hated the stylus controls for Zelda PH, I got through the game just fine, without any frustration I might add.
