DS Digimon headed to US

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...

I tryed some of them, and the show it self was good on the first season, but i have to say, i hope this game turn out good, cause the 1st game i tryed was a snorefest.

zenntench 5 pts

magnawiz 5 pts

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. :D sweet!

Wow digimon. i haven't heard bout that in awhile. it was all good at begginin. Number one was ok. Number two was difficult but once u got hang of it it was pretty cool. Digimon3 the best of them all. i still feel bad i sold it. The digimon battle arenas were mediocre but fun. And digimon four was a piece of crap good thing i sold it XD. I hope this turns out to be as good as digimon 3.

Sorry Martyred, but just because you don't like something doesn't mean it ceases to exist. 5 bucks says Poke'mon handheld games sell more copies than wahtever you deem to be "cool." I'm pretty excited about this. I get to raise my digimon AND pokemon.

As long as I can get the whole Agumon and Guilmon digivolution lines, I'll be happy.

Finally, I've been waiting a while.

Superstan 5 pts

HyperMetaDragon 5 pts

I thought Digimon died, like, 5 years ago.

DargusLacroix 5 pts

reminds me of the original Digimon World for PSX. if its just like it , then it could prove to be worth owning. WiFi definitely makes it an easier purchase.

TintedChimes 5 pts

Digiimon games are horrible if you're not a fan and sometimes even worse when you are.

StarfoxmCloud 5 pts

Well, the last digimon game i bought was absolute crap, so this one had better be good.. But Wi-Fi sounds nice!

Zifhael 5 pts

digimon hasnt had a decent game in ages...here's hoping...

EMAN2g 5 pts

w00t!!! Digimon keep it alive...although it'll take a dive when Pokemon comes out

SM2099 5 pts

Digimon game again... not bad... I like it.. but they´re for hardcore fans. Can you play as MagnaGarouroumon?

alecv1 5 pts

Harvest Moon Meets Pokemon Meets Digimon Anime..... Except Pokemon Rocks them all

ShadowGirl13 5 pts

Seems pretty good, and seems to be making good use of Wi-Fi. Though it'll probably be a game for die hard fans.
