It may have a new name, but we still
burn to get our hands on a little buggy strategy, so it's a good thing Atlus has decided to localize Success Corp's
Insect Wars -- now
Drone Tactics -- and bring it to the U.S. in late March. So why should you be excited? Because
Drone Tactics has it all: RPG and strategy elements, 100+ weapons, 50+ maps, and what's more? Mecha bugs. Sign us up for
two copies, so that we may force friends to play with us. Sadly,
Drone Tactics does not feature Wi-Fi play, but that's okay. One can't can't have everything, or we'd never buy anything else.
Zip on past the break to check out a couple of screenshots from the title, and you might want to check out the website as well, though it's a bit slim on content at the moment.

Pity this won't be waiting beneath the tree, or someone could have video'd me saying this:
"Thank you, Atlus, my favorite game company! DRONE TACTICS CUSTOMIZABLE INSECT WAAAAARS -- OMG!!!! YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!! [Calms down, rearranges tie, removes caps lock]"
Drone Tactics' release was reported by Atlus News, DSFanboy, Gamespot and everyone else on December 20, but I've been waiting for a US release ever since the original version was first announced in Japan. US articles referred to it as Insect Wars and Konchuu Wars. The Japanese version has been available on playasia for many months.
I seem to recall Japanese preorders offering a frustratingly cool bonus as well -- a papercraft model of a cannon-affixed critter. Here's a link to the DSFanboy article -- be sure to ogle the pics:
