Behind every strong protagonist is a strong supporting cast
October 28, 2008
You’ve met the heroes, you’ve met the villains. Now, meet the rest of the characters that flesh out the world of Luminous Arc 2. More than just comic relief and story filler, these unique cast members offer a variety of different motivations that enrich and deepen the narrative. Learn a little bit more about each of them below:Click here to download the character art.
ALTHEA
Althea is a girl who is training under the Brilliant Witch, Dia, in order to become a Witch. She meets Roland when she goes to hand deliver a document to Queen Sophia, as ordered by Dia.LUNA
The Tide Witch is as ever changing as the ebb and flow of the sea. One moment she is serious, and the next she’s completely laid back. She loves water and teaching runeolingustics in almost equal amounts. If her friends are down, she’ll try and cheer them up by offering them good water.
– Classic Controller, Gamecube controller, Nunchuck/Wiimote controller options
– Not a lot of swinging motions
– 40 hours to beat the main quest, 10-20 more hours for sidequests and “additional parts”

Miyamoto talks downloadable songs in Wii Music
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“It’s not something that’s possible with this particular version of the game. But creating a system like that is obviously something that’s do-able. And, of course, to do that, Nintendo itself would have to create the servers and the system for purchasing and downloading music, for example. So it’s not something that would happen, for example, next month. But it would be possible for us to do something in the future like that.” – Shigeru Miyamoto
As a traditional gamer, I can’t help but wish that there were more Nintendo songs in Wii Music. That might sound a bit greedy, but there a lot of fantastic songs I would have liked to see in the game – most notably, the Gusty Garden Galaxy music from Super Mario Galaxy.

Rumor: Publisher of The Conduit discovered
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 15 Comments
An official publisher announcement for The Conduit should be coming very soon. Some have guessed that Nintendo would publish the game, though the company later dismissed the speculation. A recent discovery, however, may point to the official publisher of the game. Currently, SEGA’s FTP site has a listing for The Conduit under its directory of games (with an empty folder). This isn’t a 100% guarantee that SEGA is the publisher of the game. Even so, this is a pretty good sign. There’s not much of a reason why the game would be listed there unless SEGA had some sort of connection to The Conduit. We’ll find out soon enough, but how would you guys feel about SEGA publishing the title?
