Like Disgaea, Riviera is a 2D sprite-based RPG that hardcore gamers seem to be entranced by. However, unlike NIS's darling, Riviera is actually finding a US release. It'll arrive in June, featuring new event scenes, a CD-quality soundtrack and a dual-language track for voice acting (wow!). That's something the GBA version never could've handled. Heck, even the DS wouldn't be able to do that.

Just those features are worth it alone.

While I'd like to see more new & exclusive RPG's for the PSP, I don't really mind these sort of remakes/updates. For people who have never played the originals, its almost like a new game. This should be a pretty good one!

now this is the kind of rpgs that needs to come out, like Tales of Eternia, remade from its PSX ver.

The DS am sure could easily handle a 2d sprite game with some voice acting, considering games like this already exist on it.

i doubt a DS cart could hold cd tracks and enough voice acting for an entire rpg game of any siginficant quality, so i'd imagine they would either want to go the full way, or leave it unvoiced rather than having some rusty sounded encoded voices. didn't hurt zelda that much though, did it?

Yeah the biggest DS cart i believe is 32 MB, there is no way it could fit a cd-quality MP3. Thats why games like final fantasy 3 have the really bad music
