Gouichi Suda the director of the quite disturbing Killer 7 is making an all new RPG for the DS. The game is titled Contact and will be produced by Akira Ueda (Sega’s Shining Soul series). The game sees a professor crash-land on a planet and must recover the pieces of his spaceship’s power source to continue his mission.
On the planet the professor gets help from a boy named Cherry (yes a boy) who disappears, with the player then acting as a go-between for the professor and Cherry. Instructions will be given out by the professor on the top screen and the player will need to carry out the instructions using the stylus to control Cherry on the bottom screen. The only problem is that an evil terrorist named Mint (this game has some great names) wants the power source for his terrorist activities. Contact will also feature numerous costumes which Cherry can wear allowing him to take on new skills, such as a pilot or fisherman.
The game is sure to be a little strange, but we won’t find out for some time yet with a Japanese release slated for February 2006 and no word on a western release.
