The Nintendo DS has many a title from established gaming genres, and seemingly invented a couple of its own along the way. And if there’s anything we’d have wanted players to experience next (we’re sure you’ll agree too), it’s Detroit Metal City, a manga series that D3 Publisher has confirmed will be making the transition to the portable. Head below for details.

Detroit metal City follows the fortunes of a young man who heads for the bright lights of Tokyo, swapping his passion for pop music for a career in Death Metal. The game includes a Quest and Live mode, and is scheduled for release in Japan this August.

Whether it’ll get a localisation is anyone’s guess, but we really do like the sound of it.
