Ogre Battle 64 hitting the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber joined the European Wii U Virtual Console last week. In North America, it arrives tomorrow.
Nintendo’s website shares the following overview:
“Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is a tactical RPG originally released for the Nintendo 64 system. The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. There he witnesses the plight of the lower classes – the victims of a tyrannical ruling elite whose only thought is for the preservation of their own lofty status. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: to betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society.”
Ogre Battle 64 will set you back $9.99.
