XSEED Games to Publish Solatorobo: Red the Hunter in North America This Fall

Torrance, Calif., (June 24, 2011) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, today announced a partnership with Namco Bandai Games that will bring the highly-acclaimed Action RPG title Solatorobo: Red the Hunter to North America on the Nintendo DS™ handheld system. Developed by celebrated Japanese game studio CyberConnect2, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (also known as Solatorobo: And Then to CODA) is viewed by many as the spiritual successor to the classic RPG adventure, Tail Concerto, which drew praise in the late 1990s for its anime-style artistic elements and distinctive anthropomorphic animal characters, traits which are shared by Solatorobo. Under the exclusive agreement, XSEED Games will have sole publishing rights to Solatorobo: Red the Hunter in North America when it releases this fall on Nintendo DS.

“We are extremely excited to bring Solatorobo: Red the Hunter to all the fans who have been clamoring for this amazing game since its initial release in Japan,” said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “Solatorobo delivers a fresh new style of game for the popular handheld which consists of an extremely unique and detailed world, resulting in an experience that is both rich in story and of a high visual fidelity rarely seen on the Nintendo DS platform.”


This information comes from XSEED Games’ Twitter…

“It’s official! Rejoice, DS gamers! XSEED has declared that robot-riding animals and epic air battles are IN! Solatorobo is coming your way!”

I truly applaud XSEED for localizing some of the games we never expected to arrive in North America. They’ve taken a chance on the likes of Retro Game Challenge, Ivy the Kiwi?, KORG DS-10, and many more. You guys better purchase Solatorobo, since it’s a really fantastic game. Plus, I’m sure XSEED wouldn’t mind the support!

Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge is will into development for Wii U. Actually, Team Ninja localization manager Peter Garza says that the title is already 30% complete. As Team Ninja has said previously, Razor’s Edge is being heavily influenced by the controls in the DS title, Dragon Sword.

“There was a DS version, so we have some experience with touch controls and it [Dragon Sword] seemed to be fairly well received. So, now we have the chance to give this full console experience with those controls on the Wii U. We’ve actually started development on it but we don’t have anything set. We’re just playing with it. We’re looking forward to emerging of Ninja Gaiden 3 gameplay and visuals with Dragon Sword touch commands. That’s where we’re thinking now. Honestly, we’re just playing with it, so it might change–that’s the focus right now.”

Another topic of discussion for all versions of Ninja Gaiden III is the title’s level of violence. Garza took a few moments to comment on that as well.

“What does it mean to cut someone with a sword, both physically and mentally? You’ll notice sequences when time slows down, the camera will zoom in. That’s the representation of the sword going into the body, getting caught in the bones and the muscles of the enemy, and you have to really push through the meat of the body to finish the cut. We call that steel on bone.”
