Phantasy Star Coming DS Way

This winter, Japanese gamers will have a chance to revisit the Phantasy Star universe again wit Phantasy Star 0 (that is a zero, not an O) for the Nintendo DS thanks to Sega. Players will have access to four player multiplayer mode that offers both local and Wifi connection based play. What's interesting about this new game is the visual chat. Players have access to the scratch pad on the bottom screen which they can fill with drawings and send to another player. The drawings appear as bubble above the character, giving the comic look to the game. Players will also have a pre set symbols to communicate. The Phantasy Star 0 will feature characters from both the old and new games although they will look a little bit younger. The North America release is not set yet.
