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!
In 1976, Mort Garson released an album titled Plantasia. But there’s one song in particular that should resonate with Zelda aficionados. Now, I have no idea if it’s just a coincidence or if Koji Kondo somehow took inspiration from the track “Concerto For Philodendron And Pothos”, but it certainly sounds similar to Zelda’s Lullaby in some ways. Take a listen above.
