We Are Fossil Diggers & Glory of Hercules to Europe?

It has been spotted that Nintendo has now added two Japanese RPGs to its release schedule in Europe. The first is Red Entertainment's Bokura ha Kaseki Holder DS, which many will know from its continued presence on the Media Create charts as 'We Are Fossil Diggers', accruing nearly 200,000 sales since release and now getting the chance that the company's other game for Nintendo, Project Hacker, never got in a European release.

The other game to make a surprise addition to the list is not Intelligent System's Card Hero, nor is it Monolith Soft's Soma Bringer or even Mistwalker's Archaic Sealed Heat, but it is the PAON project Heracles no Eikou: Tamashii no Shoumei, known by most as 'Glory of Hercules' in its rough English translation (or Glory of Heracles: Proof of the Soul). This is the latest entry into an old NES/SNES RPG franchise that was thought to be long dead, but was bought by PAON and most of the original team dragged back for this DS revival. Sadly the game was last seen struggling its way to even reach 100,000 sales, but thankfully it is seemingly being given a chance over here.

Neither game has been given a firm release date, so currently it is a case of 'watch this space', just as we have been doing for quite a while after DS Novel and Face Training were shown on release lists last year.
