Front Mission rumbles onto the Nintendo DS
Square Enix has just announced that Front Mission, the remake of the original Super Famicom turn-based strategy game featuring giant mechs, has shipped to retail. This is the first time that the origin of the series, now over ten years old, has been localized for North America. Players will utilize the DS touch screen to command a squad of customizable mecha.
“We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to present Front Mission to our North American audience,” said producer Koichiro Sakamoto. “We have recreated this classic masterpiece utilizing dual screen presentation and stylus-driven controls, allowing players to experience the intuitive gameplay in a whole new way.” The mechs in Front Mission are referred to as Wanzers, a shortened version of the German word “wanderpanzers,” which means “walking tank.”
