ATLUS POCKETS STEAL PRINCESS, UNIQUE NINTENDO DS™ PUZZLE PLATFORMER, FOR NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE
Don’t be surprised when a game thusly named burgles all your free time

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — JANUARY 15, 2009 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it has secured the North American publishing rights for Steal Princess for Nintendo DS™, a puzzle/platformer hybrid on a mission to break the mold and redefine a couple of genres in the process. Over 150 levels of increasing complexity eagerly look forward to pushing your central processing unit (i.e., your brain) to its limits. When you’ve completed the stages provided, wipe your well-earned tears of joy away and jump into the powerful level creator to design your own devilishly tough maps, placing enemies, constructing moving platforms, and even setting custom victory conditions! Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support allows your custom creations to be shared online with anyone across North America!

Steal Princess is scheduled for release on March 24, 2009, with an MSRP of $34.99.

About Steal Princess
While exploring the thought-to-be-long-abandoned palace of the Ancient Demon King, the young thief Anise stumbles upon a startling discovery: the palace isn't abandoned at all, and it's crawling with demons, no less! Equally startling is the deadly booby trap she triggers in the process of opening a locked door. She barely outruns the giant boulder bearing down on her, escaping the palace only to fall into a surging river, unconscious. The fairy Kukri, imprisoned for centuries in the chamber Anise inadvertently unlocked, rescues her and takes her to the Castle of Albyon. Anise awakens in the presence of the King, whose son is being held by demons in the very palace Anise narrowly escaped from. Recent events have unshakably convinced the King that this thief is descended from the Legendary Hero of Albyon, he who slew the Ancient Demon King centuries ago, and he commands her thusly: free the Prince from the vile demons... or be tried and convicted as a thief and locked away for life. Not much a choice, one way or the other…

Key Features
• 3-D puzzle platformer — Dive into a playing field of simple design, but deceptively complex challenge, that combines action elements with puzzle-solving skills on a 3-D, isometric plane. Jump, swing, climb, and attack as you search for the key to complete each level.
• Over 150 levels to beat — Levels spanning different geographies and requiring different strategies deliver on the promise of true breadth. Play them again to beat your best times, earn higher rankings, earn better endings, and collect more gems to unlock items.
• Create and trade custom levels — A robust custom map maker lets you construct levels with any enemies, items, and victory conditions you want. Trade maps with other players over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and local wireless for a never ending challenge!

Steal Princess has been rated “E10” for Everyone 10 and older with Language, Mild Fantasy Violence, and Suggestive Themes by the ESRB.

Haha, I like the choice of "minimal amount of detail" and "extensive amount of detail" in the Story section of the official site. Nice touch! :D

With so many RPGs coming out in the near future, I might give this one a shot if I feel RPG'd out. The map editing feature seems pretty fun.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one. March is already pretty full with The Dark Spire, Tokyo Beat Down, MadWorld and Sonic.

Day one. Of course, this has been day one for months now since the ESRB muck-up, but I felt it needed repeating in an official capacity.

Try to maintain it. I'd be quite surprised if those aren't on the horizon, especially the former.

But darn, Atlus, you guys are packing a hefty March lineup.

That song makes me want to shoot puppies. And they say that it's heavy metal that makes people violent. :roll:

Nonetheless, the Wi-Fi feature looks rather cool... and this doesn't seem like much of a "princess" game to me, at least not in the way that you mates think.
