In a some-what bizarre move, Sega Europe have announced that Kimishine will be released in PAL regions under the title of its original code name, ‘Project Rub’. No reasons have been provided for the change, but an image of the redesigned logo has been released:
Mike Hayes, managing director of SoE, also issued the following statement:
”Nintendo’s ability to weave magic into their infinitely playable and enduring gaming properties has been successfully married with SEGA’s ability to consistently pioneer stylish and unique games in Project Rub. An enticing proposition and a title that is a truly unique treat for the first wave of Nintendo DS owners, Project Rub pushes and utilises all that this ground-breaking new handheld has to offer”
The game hasn’t been given an exact release date, but will launch alongside the DS, sometime in ‘Q1’.
