There's a LOT of DS games that incorporate using the touch screen to attack enemies. “What sounds similar to the World Ends With You”

It always puts me in the mood to play Splatterhouse, as well as Castlevania (though I'm pretty much always in the mood for Castlevania). I don't know much about this game, but if it turns out to be fun, it could be another title for my Halloween gaming roster. Halloween is my favorite holiday.

There is more to the story in regards to A Witch's Tale though... Perhaps, you'll find some answers when our interview goes live.... @Hayden – I’m aware many Japanese publishers are looking at games with an international eye.

We know nothing of gameplay, but I would really be interested to know what such 'targeting' means to the JP developers/publishers. I'd hope they are smart enough to know that the mass US player won't be dropping their Madden and GTA over such things. Or do the companies have data that show the interests of niche RPG US players are somehow just a little different from JP counterparts?

Guess that didn't work out, or they'd be doing a sequel. That was actually the case with Dragoneer’s Aria as well (aimed for a US audience). Guess that didn’t work out, or they’d be doing a sequel.

So is this a game that's specifically developed for the states? (Haven't been keeping up with the news lately...) This certainly is interesting.
