For the DS, of course (http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=103337)

An action game from the guys who worked on Henry Hatsworth, Dementium, AND The Red Star? Yes please!

It looks to be a Metroidvania, too. I can't wait, Henry Hatsworth is one of the best games available on the DS. :)

I read about this on GoNintendo a day ago.

The game looks excellent but it has no publisher to distribute yet. I don't understand how that's even possible unless Henry Hatsworth bombed at retail.

I'm not sure how well it did, but they did leave EA right before it was released and I'm not sure if that should have a bearing on this game getting picked up. After all, Hatsworth was highly acclaimed and has a pretty big fanbase. If it didn't sell, it definitely wasn't because of the quality of the game, it was because of the poor advertising. (The number of people I talked to about this seemed to think it was just a puzzle game or something)

Either way, I hope this gets out there. These guys should make more stuff.

From what I've noticed, Henry Hatsworth is like $20 at TRU, or at least the last time I checked, that isn't a good sign really. But I'm willing to give this game a chance either way.

Update! (http://ds.ign.com/articles/108/1088834p1.html)

It's now called "Monster Tale", being published by Majesco, and will be out in December. It's looking great (definitely a spiritual successor to Hatsworth), and I hope we see more of it at E3.
