The classic TurboGrafx-CD role-playing game Legacy of Ys: Books I & II will arrive on the Nintendo DS February 3, 2009. But with the epic quests already available on the Wii's Virtual Console, what does the DS edition have to offer (besides being portable with touch screen controls and a multiplayer mode, of course)? Well, how about a new translation for the first time since its original release in 1990?

Atlus, the publisher delivering Ys to the DS, felt it was time to update the 18-year old script.

"Early on, it became clear to us that we had an opportunity to do something very special with this—only the second time in nearly two decades—that the series has come to North America," says Sam Mullen, Project Lead on Legacy of Ys. "We understand how important this series is to some gamers, how for many it was their very first action RPG. We're not taking this lightly, but we also see this as an opportunity to give the game a 21st-century localization, a new script to match the game's remade features."
