DS Digimon headed to US

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Sep 25, 2006 2:47 pm PT

Digimon World DS makes the trans-Pacific journey stateside this fall; gamers can train, battle, trade, breed Digimons online.

Namco Bandai Games America today announced that it will publish Digimon World DS in the US this fall. The game was previously released in Japan under the name Digimon Story in June.

Based on Bandai's popular Digmon property, the game will see players interacting with more than 230 of the digital monsters on their DSes. By creating Digi-Farms, gamers can train, care for, and communicate with their Digimons.

Using the handheld's networking capabilities, trainers will be able to take their Digimons online, over Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, or over a local area network, and battle other player-owned Digimons or opt for a more amorous encounter and create new breeds of Digimon.

Digimon World DS has not yet been rated or priced.

    Cool. Digimon Story's coming to the US.

    Its not that bad of a game, although those that actually want to see your own monsters will be a bit disappointed. Ah well. I suppose people who have their dislikes about monster raising games, and a stereotypical view will probably find this one quite close to the Pokemon games.

    Regardless, I'll get it for sure, even if its just to read the game in English for once....

    Doubt it'll make it to the UK... Digimon died at the end of the 3rd Season which was cool IMO - I even bought a digivice! (green!!) But I can't beat the last level the 2nd time! Terriermon won't biomerge/morph digivolve!

    and Impmon is useless...

    Digimon! Yes! Finally a new game for the Digimon series. I was beginning to worry that they would just end up making only Digimon Chronicles and other comic series but they've kept the series alive with Savers. sweet!
