Bangai-O Spirits, a title developed by Treasure, has been announced that it's DS bound. Bangai-O Spirits is a blend of twitch-fest shooter and puzzler genres, seasoned with strategic and
tactical elements. Treasure have an excellen track record so you can imagine the feast that this game will be! Bangai-O Spirits will incorporate a powerful level editor tool, as well as
revolutionary new technology known as Sound Load that allows gamers to transfer
data among DS systems via sound files-a first for DS handheld systems. The game
is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2008.
Yoji Takenaka, Chief Operating Officer of publisher, D3PA, had this to say, "It is an honor to bring a ground-breaking game by a respected developer like
Treasure to North American game enthusiasts, Bangai-O Spirits contains many key elements that
define a truly enjoyable videogame-the innovation in both technology and
gameplay make this must-have title for everyone who owns a DS system."
The game brings with it an addictive shooter style of play, crazy supermoves with strategic elements all mixed and thrown together. On top of this, the Sound Load technology in Bangai-O Spirits allows players to transfer level
data among DS handheld systems via the use of sound and the DS microphone.
This technology works by taking the level data and turning it into a sound file
which is output through the host DS speaker. This data is then interpreted
through the microphone of the recipient DS and the file transfer is done. It will also be possible to catalog your sound files or save them to a device like a PC or a USB drive for transportation allowing you to share your levels with gamers around the world through the internet.
We think a video would do it better justice...
