I was reading the Magic Box, and they had a short statement that Marvelous Interactive is working on a Lunar game for the DS.
I’m excited for the prospect of a new Lunar game (especially a good one, and even though I haven’t finished EBC), but I really don’t want a DS. Dammit.
I doubt even a Lunar game will make DS worth getting. This may be the one reason I may lament not having DS though.
Marvelous Interactive doesn’t make Lunar; Game Arts does. Thusly, I imagine this will probly just be a remake. 
One could hope, though.
And OFX, do you think a direct sequel to Aria of Sorrow is enough to lament not buying a DS? Cos they just announced that, too 
I just finished SSSC over the holidays and was very pleasantly surprised. I’m definately seeing a charm in Game Art’s games already (also played Grandia 2) and intend to play EBC and the original Grandia soon. Ultimately, this news is very well timed for me because I literally just became a fan, if my avatar indicated anything. But, its likely a remake, because as some website I cant remember once said; “Lunar; New and improved every year, except for the new part!”
Depends on whether it’s good or not. You know how sequels with games are. Usually they’re hit or miss.
Is Castlevania DS just a remake of Aria of Sorrow? Or is it a sequel, I really can’t tell.
Ohhh, Lunar… Mmm… Lunar… Oh Lucia… Mmmm… Jessica…
It looks like a remake with new spell animation, to me.
I doubt I’ll ever get a DS, if they only make a couple good games, I may get an [STRIKE]emulator[/STRIKE] magic DS machine that is most certainly not an emulator, though.
I actually see hope for the DS. The touchscreen allows for two genres previously not doable on a handheld before (referring to FPS and RTS), and opens new areas that you’ve already heard about probably. Hell, RTS is tough to do on console PERIOD. And usually I hate gimicky stuff (the n64 killed my interest in said gimmicky stuff).
Also, as far as emulators go, if the n64 emulators I’m using are any indication, I thikn I’ll pass on it
Not an emulator, silly, I a magic DS machine!
It’s a sequel. The head honcho of the series has already talked about the story and one of the new features.
IT MUST BE MINE!
Ah, where can I read about it?
I know that there was at least one more Lunar game in the series (the ‘Magic School’ one) because I read a translation of the mangas based on it online; good stuff, maybe not as much as SSSC or EBC, but fun. Far as I know it has not been ported over to English… I would like to see it one day.

WooHooo?
Makko, yeah, there’s a third game…Lunar Strolling School/Lunar Magic School for Game Gear/Saturn respectively. Working Designs never localized it because they thought it was a mediocre game, and especially subpar when compared to the other two Lunar games (And appearantly so did Game Arts). Still, I can’t help but wanna play it. I only know one person who’s played it (That can understand japanese :P) and he says it’s his favorite. 
Interesting. And one who does not own a DS… is a douche. 
(Haha, I think that’s the first time I’ve used douche as an insult!)
I also love Lunar, and I am very interested in a new Lunar game, but not in a DS. I went to the local Gamestop and was terribly unimpressed with the console.
What didn’t you like about it?
