Heroes of Mana Ships

Square Enix has announced that Heroes of Mana is shipping to retailers today across North America, exclusively for the Nintendo DS.

Heroes of Mana is an exciting real-time strategy game that promises to breathe new life into the series and take it into an entirely new direction. For the first time in the Mana series, players will plan, plot and strategize their way to victory on the battlefield, all through the intuitive Touch Screen capabilities of the Nintendo DS!

Heroes of Mana is now availible in stores for $39.99.

The Mana RPG series has a pretty big cult following, so I'm curious to see how well the new strategy emphasis goes over with fans of the series.
