Nippon Ichi Brings Rhapsody to Nintendo DS

The old school Musical RPG from ten years ago on the PSone is set to return on Nintendo DS thanks to Japanese developer Nippon Ichi. The company has opened up the teaser website for Marl Oukoku no Ningyouhime, the game that is being lined up for a 7th August, 2008 release in Japan. For those that have not heard of the original game, which came to the US via Atlus under the name 'Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure', the game centres around a young girl called Cornet who can talk to puppets. She has a special magical horn that can grant wishes, as well as a best friend called Kururu that happens to be a puppet who was previously her best friend. There were two sequels to the original title, neither of which were translated for the West. Nothing has been said about whether they will eventually come to DS as well, though.
