AtomIzuna in stores, go and check it out
Atlus released Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja in stores today and it’s the underdog compared to big titles like Crackdown and Virtua Fighter 5. Izuna is a rogue-like game for the DS where you guide the spunky female ninja protagonist to restore her clan. I’ve talked a lot about Izuna before (if you missed the previous coverage see it here and here) and it’s worth a look. Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja doesn’t take advantage of any of the DS’ unique features except using the top screen as a map. But it doesn’t have to, Izuna’s success relies on its funny dialogue and hardcore dungeons. If you want a challenge or are into rogue games get it before it becomes rare.

Screw with reviewers, most of the games I like they “diss” on, most from downright weird/bias reasons. I’ll be picking this up later on this month! ^o^

The dialogue done by Atlus is quite hilarious from their site, it’s nice how they put a playful spin on the title, definitely interested in picking up the game. But for now, need to finish “Mother 3″ first. Don’t care much for biased reviews either. I regret skipping Shadow Hearts based on a 5.5 IGN review ages ago, and of course learned my lesson and finished the first game before playing the second, which is one of the best.

The hair style and goggles, yes. For the rest, she’s all Mai (KoF) :)

Hair color, eye color and colors of outfit too =P
Eyes, probably, hair, yes and no. It varies from pink to orange.
For the outfit, not even close. That’s a Ninja outfit that Izuna is wearing. Haruko wears something like a biker’s outfit (although both red).

I sort of predicted that it wouldn’t be received so well and the first few reviews rather confirm with that. Nintendo Power gave it 6.5, which is a rather low score coming from them.
