Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja employed in a Nintendo DS fighting game?

I wrote about Windy X Windam before when glancing over Success Corp’s summer retail list, but at that time no information was revealed about what the game was about. DS Fanboy points out a forum thread on Shoryuken discovered the details before Success could give Windy X Windam a proper announcement.

Windy X Windam is a 2D fighting game developed by Ninja Studio, the same team who makes the Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja series of roguelikes on the DS. Naturally, (?) Izuna and Shino from their other Nintendo DS series will make cameos. It is unknown if Ninja Studio will include other characters from their numerous cell phone strategy RPGs, but it’s a fair possibility. The other fighters shown in the screenshots are known as Ashley, Big and Jack. Windy X Windam will also include wireless play with a single card.

Interesting and unexpected, just the kind of thing up Atlus’ alley.
