Have I ever mentioned that I love Atlus? Well, I’ll mention it again. In addition to this morning’s totally awesome Trauma Center news, Atlus has announced that they are taking on localization of three new DS titles – Touch Detective 2 1/2, Ontamarama, and Draglade.
Touch Detective 2 ½ is the sequel to last year’s Touch Detective. While the first game kind of sucked, it did have some amazing artwork and witty writing. The sequel is apparently much better than the first game, and much longer. I’m definitely looking forward to this.
Ontamarama is a “rhythm action game” that is controlled through the stylus and microphone. You apparently cause things to happen by conducting the Ontama, music spirits that are being captured by an evil demon. In addition to the twelve-level story mode, there are also freeplay and challenge modes.
Continuing the music theme, Draglade is a “rhythm fighter.” It sounds like a mix of DDR and Street Fighter. You can also customize both your fighter and their fighting style. Both it and Ontamarama will hit the US this fall.
We’ve also received a couple of additional details on Trauma Center: New Blood. All dialogue will be voiced and the game will be released during the “holiday season.”

Draglade’s already out in Japan, and it’s apparently quite poor. Too bad, it sounded interesting.

FINALLY! Full voiceovers for a Trauma Center game! And Ontamarama sounds fun.

All I want from them this E3 is some sort of “If Persona 3 does well, we’ll bring Fes over” comment.

Misspelled ‘Announcements’ in post title, Greg, but keep the goodness coming.

@kiddkalen:
Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out, fixed now.

Ontamarama sounds cool. EBA/Oudean with a sort of spiritual twist…and a mike feature.
I was interested in Draglade too…but if it’s not doing well there is probably a good reason.
