Ready for more mag hunting and searching for rare items, but on the go? Phantasy Star fans, especially of the more current Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Online games, can look forward to an upcoming Nintendo DS release of Phantasy Star Ø (zero). Nintendo DS features such as the touch screen and WiFi capabilities will be used. With WiFi, you'll be able to play online with up to 3 other players. A touch interface will allow selection of Visual Chat commands for communicating via text bubbles. Hmm... these screens from the Japanese release show DS stylus drawing in chat bubbles.

Here are more details from SEGA:
"Phantasy Star Ø takes place on an alternate Earth 200 years after the “Great Blank,” a massive war that has reduced the once-prosperous civilization to almost nothing. The sole surviving Humans have worked hard to exist peacefully and have built thriving Cities. The Humans that adventure past the outskirts of these Cities, called Hunters, explore the vast wilderness and hunt dangerous monsters to keep Cities safe. Players will take up the role of Hunters and select from three types of races and different classes, as well as gender for a total of 14 customizable character types. Each character type will play very differently and give players access to a great range of items, armor and weapons. Featuring over 350 unique weapons, gamers will venture out on “Earth”, combat dangerous monsters to gain experience and meet new major characters. As players explore further, they will unravel the mystery of the “Great Blank” and discover a dangerous new force that must be stopped."

Phantasy Star Ø is coming exclusively to the Nintendo DS in Fall 2009 for North America and Europe. It was released in Japan on December 25, 2008. Watch for more details in the February 2009 issue of Nintendo Power.
