It's not like Atlus expects us to be surprised or anything.
We told you late last year it was going down, and we've been looking forward to it ever since.
In case you haven't heard, Steal Princess is an isometric view half platformer, half puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. Atlus says that there are over 150 levels included, a super-powered level editor, and custom level sharing via Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection. This game is said to have some Landstalker and Shining Force heritage, too -- not too shabby.
Steal Princess is set to release in America on March 24th. Check out the
official Web page for the full deets.

Atlus doesn't make their games. They're a publisher. They take niche japanese titles they feel might have a shot over here and give them a localization and publish them. They do only limited runs at a time which is why its next to impossible to find their games after they first come out unless its a re-release or used :(
</pendantic fuckwittery>
But yeah Atlus rocks. Though every now and then they'll send over a real turd (I'm looking at you Neverland Card Battles! >:( )
You're right about Atlus USA though. -They're- just a publisher.
So if this is good, we'll have a game of unlimited fun for ever :-) great stuff! Sounds like this'll be the LBP for DS :-)
I bet they have a basement full of malnourished localizers chained to the wall ;)
