Cute, magical, and hell-bent on becoming the world’s most powerful monsters… Who knew?
November 12, 2008
What is Kopin? That is one of life’s great questions. The Kopin in general is a legendary creature with a roundish head and a propensity for magic. Contrary to popular belief, Kopins do not grant wishes. Kopins live in a wide variety of areas in the world of Luminous Arc – they can be deadly opponents in battle or friendly help at the local bar.In between missions in Luminous Arc, players encounter special sequences called “Life of Kopin,” that feature a specific Kopin determined to become the world’s most powerful monster. He doesn’t necessarily try too hard to meet this goal, and he does it in what might be considered an unorthodox fashion, but he’s dedicated to his mission and his antics enrich the Luminous Arc experience.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The new Animal Crossing™: City Folk game for the Wii™ console launches Nov. 16, allowing players to move into fun communities, customize their surroundings and interact with hundreds of animal characters. The world is filled with possibilities, and players never run out of things to do. They can collect more than 2,400 items like shells, fossils and bugs, or design new clothing patterns that they can share with their friends.
The new “city” area of the game provides access to the latest fashions and offers players the ability to give their character a Mii™ makeover at the hair salon, which transforms the character’s features to look like the player’s Mii. Players can also put items up for auction in the city and bid on items others want to sell.
When Nintendo announced the Play on Wii brand, most expected that GameCube titles would simply be ported over to the Wii. This does not seem to be the case for all titles, however, or at least for Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. The latest edition of Famitsu reveals a few goodies and changes that have been made for the Wii edition, which may cause others to think twice before passing on the remake. Most importantly, Jungle Beat will feature entirely new levels. Other modifications including enemy placement and check points halfway through a level will be present as well.
At this time, it is unclear if Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat will be the only title from the Play on Wii category that will sport changes. Some insight was provided regarding Pikmin though, in which it was explained that the A button will be used to throw Pikmin while the player can also press B on the Wiimote to gather Pikmin nearby with a whistle call.
