TGS 08: Suda51's Flower, Sun and Rain coming to DS in 2009 photo

If Suda51 is involved with a project, I tend to like it quite a bit. While I rest assured that the majority of fan attention is resting on the announcement of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, it's worth noting that Suda's PS2 title Flower, Sun and Rain will be getting a DS incarnation very soon.

Marvelous and XSEED are taking on the project, and while no specific date was announced, we do know we can expect the game in 2009 (and if Amazon.co.uk is to be believed, on November 14th). The plot, in case you aren't familiar, deals with repeating the same day over and over, groundhog style. I missed out on this one on PS2, so I may just wait for the DS version to give it a spin.

Wasn't the PS2 game Japan-only? If it was, I doubt many of us can be faulted for missing it.

Wiki says ''An enhanced Nintendo DS remake (entitled Flower, Sun and Rain: Neverending Paradise in Japan) was released in Japan on March 6, 2008, and a European release is scheduled for October 2008. [1] A North American release has been mentioned in the past, but a date remains unannounced.[2] On October 9, 2008, XSEED Games announced that they will be publishing the game in North America with cooperation with Marvelous Entertainment's North American branch. The release of the game is expected for sometime in 2009''


But we never get the Euro version before the US version due to it taking longer to add in the other Euro languages, so I can't see this personally - but would love for this to come out this month - would be awesome.

Suda51 has yet to do a game I like. They're pretty, but there's no game there. None that I can enjoy. Maybe I'll be surprised soon.

Wanted it, until I saw the screenshots...and picked up a PSP. Ouch, DS graphical quality is sorely lacking. I want compelling story, gameplay *and great graphics*. I've been spoiled by the PSP.

*offtopic>*Maybe Phantasy Star Zero can save the DS from its lackluster graphical malaise?
