ARC RISE FANTASIA FOR NINTENDO Wii GETS RELEASE DATE

Classic Japanese RPG experience filled with humor, drama and action will be available on July 27

Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise and worldwide publisher of videogames, and Marvelous Entertainment today announced that Arc Rise Fantasia exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™ will start to ship at retail on July 20 for the suggested price of $39.99.

“Arc Rise Fantasia truly fills a gap in the Nintendo Wii library,” said Nigel Fox, European Head of Publishing for UTV Ignition Entertainment. “It offers a solid JRPG experience for longtime fans of the genre, but also serves as a perfect way to introduce Wii owners to deeper, more engrossing video games. So many people bought Wii so they could work out, but are missing out on games like Arc Rise Fantasia, which offers the drama of a soap opera and imaginative settings of a great film.”

Arc Rise Fantasia delivers a traditional Japanese RPG (JRPG) experience unlike anything currently available on the Nintendo Wii. The game features everything fans of the JRPG genre want out of a classic gaming experience. As the mercenary L’Arc, players must gather friends and allies to defend the peaceful Meridian Empire from a mysterious enemy. But what starts as a struggle to save an empire quickly unravels into a desperate fight to save the face of the planet. Filled with memorable characters, pulse-pounding combat and a sweeping storyline, Arc Rise Fantasia distills more than a decade of gaming tradition into one unforgettable journey.

If you’re a die-hard Nintendo fan, chances are that you know all about Nintendo’s famed “Love Tester”, and now the device is back on the market after 41 years for a mere $55! Of course, there’s $26 worth of shipping to add in, so all in all its a solid $81 worth of vintage Nintendo, but its well worth it to see if you and your lover are really in love!

It’s times like these that I wished I lived in New York…

Much like they do with most of the big titles released, Nintendo is hosting a grand ol’ event at the Nintendo World Store to celebrate the release of Square Enix’s Dragon Quest IX. The event, complete with Dragon Quest ice cream truck and playable demo stations, will happen on July 10th, so mark your calendars! Oh, did I mention that Yuji Horii, Dragon Quest creator is going to be at the event to sign autographs? Get there early, because he’ll only be signing 30 before taking off!

– 4 episodes
– Around 2 hours for each episode
– Buy gadgets and character enhancements with coins
– WayForward probably won’t do the Contra 3DS title
– Shantae on Wii only exists as demos
– Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is the true sequel
