Quote:Atlus reveals DS surgery game
Previously announced Caduceus will use a stylus for operating and voice recognition for verbal encouragement.

TOKYO--Last week, Atlus announced five titles for the Nintendo DS, one of which was a previously unknown game named Caduceus. Today Japanese Web site NTT EG disclosed that Caduceus will be a sci-fi surgery game and that it has been tentatively renamed to Caduceus: Surgical Operation.

The player steps into the role of a talented young surgeon who must operate on different maladies in each of the game's stages. Caduceus will take advantage of both the handheld's stylus and voice recognition capability. Actions such as cutting the patient or getting rid of an unidentified parasite are done with the stylus. In addition, while operating, the player must cheer on the patient using the device's voice recognition.

Caduceus: Surgical Operation follows a sci-fi storyline, meaning that all the illnesses and operation procedures in the game will be fictional. Atlus labels Caduceus as a "sci-fi surgery action game," suggesting that the game also has some action involved.

The game is slated for release in spring 2005 in Japan.

Quote:Nintendo had already announced that a total of over 120 games were in development for its upocoming DS handheld. The company released a list this week confirming that at least 64 of those games will come from Japanese developers.

The list confirms what was already certain, that Nintendo will not leave anything to chance. While strong support was expected from the Japanese market, the surprise from this list is that Western developers may be creating more titles for the innovative, twin screened console than initially expected. Nintendo has confirmed that a list of Western developers working on DS titles is coming soon.
