It's a good day to be hardcore. Empire Interactive announced a new entry in the Jagged Alliance series for the Nintendo DS, to be developed by Strategy First Inc. and Cypron Studios. The game will be distributed in North America by Atari. If you don't know what Jagged Alliance is, then here, let me quote the press release.

Jagged Alliance is an explosive fusion of a role playing game mixed with turn-based tactical combat, allowing gamers to become fully immersed in their characters. A new generation of gamers will be invited to liberate the Island of Metavira in the nonlinear game play that made the 1994 original so popular amongst gamers.

"Jagged Alliance provides an exciting blend of RPG and turn based action, which has already won fans and accolades worldwide. The time is right to bring its frenetic battles to Nintendo DS and allow a brand new audience the experience the exhilarating game play." commented, James Spice, VP of Marketing for Empire Interactive.
