A Nintendo DS Port of Atlus’ Rhapsody: A Muscal Adventure (originally released for the Sony PSOne back in 2000) was confirmed by Famitsu last month, and now NIS America has confirmed that the little-known title will be receiving a localisation and US release.

Speaking to RPGamer, NIS America’s Localisation Director said:

Rhapsody ~A Musical Adventure~ is coming to the Nintendo DS here in North America. Some hardcore gamers might know this game, since it was released here by Atlus back in 2000 for the PS1. It’s a musical RPG that has a wacky storyline and a simple battle system that really caters towards a wide RPG fan base. It’s loads of fun and if you’re interested in any type of classic Japanese RPG, I think you’ll get a good kick out of it.

Considered a little on the easy side and aimed at girls, Rhapsody performed poorly on its first outing in America, but chances are that Atlus feels the now-expanded audience will mean that the adventure fares a bit better this time around. It follows the story of Cornet, a young girl with the power to talk to puppets. She teams up with a wooden companion to save Prince Ferdinand Marl E. after the evil Queen Marjoly has turned her to stone.

No confirmed release date as of yet, though.
