Originally, Natsume had expected the events of September 11th to delay the initial shipment of Lufia: The Legend Returns by roughly a week. Due to unexpectedly early shipments, however, the game has arrived on time after all, and should be in stores by the end of the week.

Lufia: The Legend Returns is heralded by its developers as the pinnacle of their achievements in the series, and with twelve characters and hundreds of weapons, armor, and items available, it certainly seems to have all the pontential to live up to the advance billing. The game is selling for $29.99 US at EBGames.
