DS Digimon headed to US

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.
