DS Namco RPGs dated

Namco is looking to make spring an unseasonably hot season for Japanese role-playing game fans. Japanese retail sources report today that two of the publisher's upcoming titles for the Nintendo DS will be released only two weeks apart. Xenosaga Episode I & II will be hitting stores on March 30, followed by Tales of the Tempest, which is dated for release on April 13. Xenosaga Episode I & II is a 2D remake of the PlayStation 2 series, while Tales of the Tempest continues Namco's Tales series of RPGs with 3D graphics. Neither title has yet been announced for release in the US.
