Nintendo:News/Blood of Bahamut announced for DS

Awhile back Square Enix copyrighted the name Blood of Bahamut, though there was no indication as to which platform the title would head to - if it was indeed a video game at all. Then a few days ago the picture to the right was shown on the web, though still no confirmation of a platform. Well, the new issue of Jump was released in Japan, and not only has the game been confirmed for the Nintendo DS, though we've also got new information regarding the title.

First, the game will have 2D sprites that accompany 3D backgrounds. Two of the main characters' names have been announced, including Ibuki and Yui. The entire game takes place on the beast Bahamut - a behemoth with an entire city on his back! During battles the beast will awaken, and you'll defeat monsters in an attempt to save the city and the beast. Also confirmed was a 4-player cooperative mode. The game will be shown at the Jump Fiesta. According to Final Fantasy Union the game is likely to be an action RPG.
