Innovation is not dead; it’s just awaiting its reawakening this June

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 11, 2009 – Atlus U.S.A. today announced that it has secured the North American publishing rights for Knights in the Nightmare™, a groundbreaking new gaming experience for Nintendo DS™. Certain to be one of the most innovative titles of 2009, Knights in the Nightmare is wholly unique. Not easily placed in any one genre, the game requires players to throw out everything they know about roleplaying and strategy games and embrace something altogether new and fresh. Frantic, energetic action mixes with thought-provoking tactical gameplay, all within a beautifully-rendered fantasy setting and presented through a captivating, emotional narrative. Dripping with style and originality, Knights in the Nightmare delivers an unforgettable experience.

Knights in the Nightmare is scheduled for release on June 2, 2009 with an MSRP of $34.99.

“Out of the current generation of game consoles, Wii has the greatest user base. It’s only natural that we would want to provide content for the most numerous hardware. Also, Wii’s unique interface can be a good match for action games depending on how it’s used. When it comes to providing action games that are easy to play, Wii can be considered extremely good hardware. Lastly, the mix of content offered for this platform is unbalanced. We sensed there was an opportunity to offer an adult-oriented title with strong impact.” – Tatsuya Minami

“Yes, those videos many of you saw last week were an early look at Spyborgs … a waaaay early look from about a year ago, well before the recent upgrades we’ve made to the game, the engine, the art style. Those videos weren’t even gameplay footage anyway. They were all animatics – early blocked out cinematics for figuring out timing, camera angles, animations for various cuts, etc. Those are all meant to be rough and easy to iterate before things are locked down and the polished models, textures, effects, etc. are put into place.

The new Spyborgs is looking really good. When people’s first reactions are surprise that those graphics are on the Wii, you know you’re on to something. We’re excited to reveal it to you all soon. I’m working with Marketing to get permission to post a teaser of some kind: a screenshot, a piece of a screenshot, some character art… anything!” – Daryl, Capcom

I’m pulling for Spyborgs, but I will continue to remain cautiously optimistic. I admit that I’m pretty interested in seeing how different the new version of the game looks.

– Japanese bug fights inspired the combat
– at one point during development, there was a cliff that you could stand on and look down on all the area you covered during the game. This was removed in the final version.
– lizards/rats originally had green blood
