Over the wires this morning comes the news that Atlus U.S.A. will publish Marvelous Interactive's Contact in the United States this summer.
Contact is a unique RPG being produced by Killer 7 producer/director Suda 51, where a professor crash-lands on an alien planet and enlists the assistance of a local boy named Terry — played by you — to escape. The professor lives on one screen while Terry plays out the game on the other.
The game features real-time combat, extensive use of dual-screen functionality, and will also make use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Character design for the game is being handled by Atsuko Fukushima of PlayStation Portable PoPoLoCrois fame.
Contact doesn't yet have a solid date beyond "Summer 2006", but we'll let you know when we hear more.
