Square Enix publishing Taito's new Lufia game

Famitsu.com has broken the news on a new entry in Taito's Estpolis series. If the name doesn't ring a bell, the series was released outside Japan as "Lufia". The new game will be called Estpolis: The Land Cursed by the Gods and will be produced by the original game's development staff. Square Enix will be handling publishing duties.

The Famitsu piece didn't reveal any details -- not even target platforms -- but given the series' strong ties to Nintendo hardware a release on the Big N's consoles are a good possibility. Well, there was that one PSOne game but that got canceled...

We'll find out more in the next Famitsu issue due out next week. That one will reportedly feature a full unveiling of the game.

On a side note, I'm happy Square Enix didn't go the countdown route for this one. I'm seriously sick of those.

Squeenix promises to bring more Taito classics to European DS

This game will be sweet if they do it right,

You know make a Real "RPG" game for once.

I have played all the old Lufia games so if this is anything like them, then it should be good.

# I actually — Andershizzle 2009-11-12 09:22

haven't played any Lufia games before. Looking it up now!

# Oh sweet — kaoken 2009-11-12 10:20

I remember playing Lufia when I was a kid, such a great game. I'm surprised they actually got the original devs on board. My guess is this will be released on the NDS.

Lufia pwnz

The first Lufia was seriously hard. I was only about 11 when it came out but I clearly remember being stuck on bosses for large periods of time. Still one of the better RPGs ever made though. Lufia 2 was a lot easier from what I remember, but it was a good game also.
