Nearing the end of April, we begin Golden Week celebrations in Japan with Showa Day. Sparking the beginning of this week-long celebration, this holiday highlights the strong historic character Emperor Showa. In Arc Rise Fantasia, players are introduced to characters of strong moral fiber and heroic nature as well. These characters lead players to epic battlefields and draw them into a deep story that achieves a perfect balance of humor, emotion and action.

Arc Rise Fantasia’s cast of unique characters is led by L’Arc, a mercenary of the Meridian Empire. As L’Arc gallantly battles dragons with fellow soldiers, he finds himself rescued by Ryfia, a Diva from the TurmelianRepublic, which is at war with the Meridian Empire, and together they embark on a perilous journey. However apprehensive L’Arc may be about his pre-destined path, his companions Prince Alf and fellow mercenary Niko, help him find his way. On their journey, our heroes face a number of unlikely friends and foes. Tensions mount as L’Arc’s childhood friend Adele becomes jealous of his bond with Ryfia. Leslie, a flirtatious yet powerful acquaintance, appears to have her own agenda while Serge, a bandit, unexpectedly helps the team narrowly escape from the small but deadly, mysterious assassin sisters, Luna and Paula. Although L’Arc and his friends encounter many dangers throughout their mission, L’Arc is still often caught off guard by unexpected enemies and surprising circumstances.

I’ve been going back and forth over whether or not to post this, but it does seem that this is at least slightly related to Nintendo. Here’s what Bungie President Harold Ryan said about the possibility of developing for Wii…

“The Wii, along with any other platform that people enjoy entertainment on, is certainly a potential platform for our universe and IP. It’s obviously a platform we’ve developed or shipped games for, but it certainly has a broad consumer base in parts of the world, and something we absolutely consider as a potential platform.”

And the announcement is below…

10-Year Alliance Expands Global Reach for Leading Game Developer Across Multiple Platforms

London, UK – April 29, 2010 – Bungie, the developer of blockbuster game franchises including Halo, Myth and Marathon, and Activision, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, the #1 online games publisher (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that they have entered into an exclusive 10-year partnership to bring Bungie’s next big action game universe to market. Under the terms of the agreement, Activision will have exclusive, worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the new intellectual property on multiple platforms and device. Bungie remains an independent company and will continue to own their intellectual property. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The groundbreaking alliance will provide Bungie its first such partnership since splitting off from Microsoft in 2007, significantly broadening its global reach by providing the resources and support to develop, distribute and release games worldwide on multiple platforms and devices.
