What do you like on your hot dogs? Me? I’m a mustard and relish kind of guy. Or, on rare occasions, hit me with the chili and onions (and mustard again) for more of a knife and fork kind of meal. Sauerkraut, though? That’s not my style, I’d…oh, wait. Not Sauerkraut —Sakuranaut.
Sakuranautis an upcoming Nintendo DS role-playing game, and not a hot dog topping. It comes by way of Marvelous Entertainment, set to hit Japan on November 5th.1UPsays that the game tells the story of two towns and two mysterious sakura (cherry blossom) trees, one in each, that have something to do with a new girl in town being targeted by ghosts. Your character, a young boy, sets out to set things right.
Some big-time RPG people are working on this game. Composer Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) is doing the music, while Kazushige Nojima (Kingdom Hearts) is doing the writing. Hideo Minaba is working the visuals, just as he’s done for theFinal Fantasy series, and Akira Ueda will be the chief designer, just as he was forContact.
This should turn out to be a pretty good game. Let’s hope it gets localized.
