Further emphasizing the DS's status as
the system that companies want to
rerelease their old RPGs on, the latest issue of
Shonen Jump revealed today that
Summon Night 1 and
2, both originally PlayStation titles, are headed for the DS. We haven't been able to glean much information from the Japanese magazine's photographed page yet, but it looks like the two
SRPGs will be released separately and not as a collection, the first one slated for Spring 2008, its sequel planned for Summer.
Though the GBA and DS received several
Summon Night side-story
ARPGs, the first two of which were eventually brought to the US by
Atlus, this will be the first time that entries from the main series see a handheld port. Neither
Summon Night 1 or
2 ever made it stateside -- this seems like an excellent opportunity for a North American publisher to finally localize the games!
