Atlus bringing Ys on DS to North America

Fans of Ys are in for a treat: Atlus is bringing Legacy of Ys: Books I & II to North America in February, 2009. The game is a remake of Ys Eternal, which was released on the PC back in 1997 in Japan. Ys Eternal is actually a remake of Turbo Duo classic, Ys Book I & II. That's a lot of remaking!

After watching the video above, check out VC Monday Madness over at Wii Fanboy, where the original Ys Book I and II was featured recently.

Too bad the DS version is probably the worst version of these 2 games. Go find a copy of the PC version and the fan translation if you want truely epic.

I just got the PSP version of Ys the other day, it's really fun. I'm pretty excited about the re-makes of Ys I and II. And my wife, as a Zelda and anything even remotely like Zelda superfan, is also salivating.

Excellent! I think the PC version is superior, but I will definitely be picking this up.
