New media: Magical Vacation

Brownie Brown has released several new screenshots from its upcoming Game Boy Advance role-playing game, Magical Vacation. In the game, players must guide a group of magician's apprentices back from a parallel world. The students were scared into this alternate universe by a sinister band of monsters. On their way back, the characters will discover each other's motivations and will have to adjust their own quests accordingly. Specific gameplay details are scarce, but the game has been described as a communication RPG. Several members of the development team, who are comprised of former SquareSoft employees, have worked on such games as Secret of Mana. Magical Vacation will be released later this year in Japan, followed by its release in the Western territories.
