The series, which was originally published by Taito, began in 1993 on the Super Nintendo. The last console entry in the series was for the Game Boy Advance in 2003.
Famitsu also reported that the team behind the original game will be working on the new title.
There is no specified platform yet, but more information should be coming out in next week's issue of Famitsu.
UPDATE 11/18/09 - Estpolis: The Land Cursed by the Gods has been announced for the Nintendo DS.
Oh snap! Lufia 1&2 are really great RPGs. Dragona is obsessed with them.

My guess would be the DS, given the type of game it is. Another possibility would be WiiWare though that doesn't usually see games of this type.
I want this one on Wii (or multiplatform with the PS3 as well) just so Nintendo doesn't have an excuse to get all pissy and forbid the two Lufia games from reaching the Virtual Console (ala what happened with Bionic Commando Rearmed).

Wait, it was confirmed that that was why Bionic Commando couldn't come to the VC? I thought that part of Nintendo died a generation ago. I guess I was silly to think that.
Ignoring WiiWare and Wii for both BC games would make me pretty petty if you think about it.I want this one on Wii (or multiplatform with the PS3 as well) just so Nintendo doesn't have an excuse to get all pissy and forbid the two Lufia games from reaching the Virtual Console (ala what happened with Bionic Commando Rearmed).

If you believe Jeremy Parish from 1up.com, who claimed he overheard that being confirmed, then yes it was true and Nintendo can still be that petty. I had nearly given up on the idea of Square-Enix ever putting these lesser-known (and largely forgotten) RPGs on the Virtual Console, so I don't want Nintendo to have any excuses to forbid it if Square-Enix decides to release the 2 Lufia games on it.

As for the console BC, it was crap anyway so who cares? Nintendo had an opportunity to make easy money, and they threw it away.Not true, I am playing thru it now and am very much enjoying it. Shooting mechanics aren't worth much but the arm swinging is just fun. There are flaws (the replay system sucks for one) but it is not crap by any means. Just because it is hard does not make it crap.
