Vivendi Universal Games and Sierra Entertainment are bringing everyone’s favorite purple fire breather to the DS. Spyro Shadow Legacy , the newest installment of the 17 million-unit-selling franchise Spyro the Dragon, will for the first time introduce magical powers, role playing game elements, and martial arts fighting.

Spyro Shadow Legacy will take the Spyro heritage to the next level with more advanced and interactive features, as well as a greater emphasis on the story, richly developed characters and the introduction of Spyro’s magical abilities,” said Edward Zobrist, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing of Vivendi Universal Games. “Leveraging all of the technology made available by the Nintendo DS and Amaze Entertainment’s gameplay innovations, Spyro Shadow Legacy will give players an entirely fresh and fun experience with one of their all-time favorite video game characters.”

The game play goes by when you excel by defeating numerous enemies you gain numerous skill points to divide between Spyro’s strength and abilities. The RPG element will allow players to use their experience to build Spyro’s new magical powers and martial arts combat abilities as the game goes on.

With touch screen controls, players will be able to draw symbols and shapes to cast spells or use the second screen as an overhead map. Players will be able to utilize the Nintendo DS wireless capabilities to trade collectible creatures with other players nearby.

Look for Spyro Shadow Legacy to be available at retail stores in fall 2005 for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
