DO WANT.

Cool! I liked Odin Sphere a lot but I didn't like Grim Grimoire for some weird reason. But this looks much much closer to the gameplay style of Odin so one more tally for the do want!

This game is now on my most wanted games of all time list...but the reality is this has a 7% chance of coming over to America, and with Nintendo's new policy of cracking down on devices to get around region codes we are screwed.

Aw, I miss the good ol days of great 2d gaming. Sony did a great dis-service to the genre when it did everything but kill it off for good back in the PS1 days, they made developers afraid to do anything but the rare gem.

That being said, game looks great and I so want a chance to play this!

2D is freaking awesome!

That guy looks like he needs more sleep.

Blame Sony America, the Japanese and European branches didn't mind.

Game looks intriguing. I love the style, but it may be a little to weird for me.

Case in point: You see the fat, super muscular chick in scan 2? Yeah that one.............what the hell is that?! And what the hell is she holding? Double-sided dildos?!

After taking another gander.........damn I love the style! The backgrounds are gorgeous!

Or probably a Niche company such as NIS, Xseed, UFO, Aksys or even Majesco or Ubisoft since they like localizing stuff as well.

They're Wii Barbels and you too could be freakishly muscular and topless with just minutes of training per day!

NEAT GRAPHICS.

Stogi · « **Reply #11 on:** September 05, 2007, 05:24:53 AM »

I don't know........

Sure look like double-sided dildos to me. And that brings me to another point..........why the hell is she topless (I never thought I would EVER say that)?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #12 on:** September 05, 2007, 05:29:51 AM »

Why do you have to see dildos in everything?

Ian Sane · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2007, 06:06:38 AM »

Seeing how gorgeous current consoles are at producing 2D graphics just makes it so depressing that 2D is mostly used only on portables. You know how the PS3 is like the Virtual Boy 5200 32X? That's karma for Sony ruining the marketability of 2D games. There was never any reason for the two styles to not coexist. Maybe things will get back on track now that the reign of Playstation is over.

I'm really interested in this title but so far it's only because it looks so cool. So I guess I'm a graphics whore.

Dear smallish-sized artsy punky niche japanese third party developers and publishers,

I have money. Please take it.

Thanks.

Just like gaming and non-gaming should co-exist happily!

(opens first link).......drools!
(opens second link)......pukes

putting aside that one particular character aside I'd definitely buy this game. I'm sure someone out there realizes this will be a good sell to America and publish it here, most likely Atlus. Unless for some reason they drop the ball and NIS picks it up.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2007, 08:36:29 PM »

That doesn't look like a character to me, I think it's a demon or ogre you have to fight, notice that the box that encases it also contains some other monsters.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2007, 09:20:09 PM »

What are you guys talking about, I like that character. Certainly an intriguing design.

Adrock · « **Reply #21 on:** September 05, 2007, 09:40:54 PM »

Apparently this game uses motion controls. I wonder how well that's going to work. In any case, I'm happy this game is coming to Wii. I have no doubt that Atlus will bring this game to North America.

*Goes back to playing PAL 2D games on PSOne and PS2*

SixthAngel · « **Reply #23 on:** September 06, 2007, 03:15:57 AM »

I expect pretty much all Vanillaware games and other 2d games (especially from smaller companies) to be made for the Wii. The cost, easy hardware, and userbase are all there and that is what they need.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #24 on:** September 06, 2007, 04:24:16 AM »

SNK once commented on the matter in a slightly different way: PS3 and 360 require that the game must support some form of HD resolution. For 2d games that's not as easily doable as for 3d ones so a 2d developer will struggle with such a requirement. It's just easier for them to go Wii since it's easier to make sprites for 640x480 than those HD resolutions (and especialyl making sure the HD sprites still look good in 640x480).
