Game: Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a role-playing video game developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix Software, and published by Ignition Entertainment for the Nintendo DS. It will release on October 27, 2009. The game is set in the 19th century. Players take control of main character Eddy, son of a legendary English adventurer, and the adventure begins as Eddy and a cast of fellow Londoners set off on an adventure that takes them through London and the rest of the world. A central theme in Nostalgia is flight. Eddy makes use of a dirigible in his travels. When playing, you move about the world through the air rather than walking around on an overworld map. Your air ship also comes into play during battles, as in addition to fighting standard party-based command battles when exploring dungeons, you also engage in air based battles against other air ships.
