According to this week's Jump magazine, tri-Ace is currently slogging away on a Valkyrie Profile game for the DS. Barely anything substantial is known about Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One, though three rather fuzzy scans have found their way onto the interwebs.Murky as they are, these shots seem to suggest that the game will feature 2D sprites in an isometric game world, much like NIS' forthcoming Disgaea. We'll be playing as Wilfred, a young soldier with a grudge against the Valkyries who is given a feather by Goddess of the Underworld Heru, and who intends to use said feather to wreak revenge. It all sounds suitably overwrought.
Apart from that, we haven't the foggiest on how the actual battle system will work yet, but we do have scans, which you can find beyond the break.

I have to point out a mistranslation - the Norse goddess of the underworld was called Hel, sometimes Hela, not Heru. Understandable mistake, we are talking about Japanese here, what with their lack of distinction between L's and R's. Just thought I'd point that out. Unless tri-Ace decided to just rename a freakin' god here. =D

I was going to say that... and add that Heru is a very masculine Egyptian sky god (better known now as Horus thanks to the Greeks).

I never understood the attraction to this game. I didn't like it on PSone, not on PSP, and I can't see myslef enjoying it on the DS.
To each their own, it's just not for me.
