Wii RPG Fragile Coming Stateside Via XSEED

@misc.insanity: I used to do that. I just live in a rather dusty town, so the next day all the cleaning seems rather futile :(

Ceph

@misc.insanity: What? Don;t you know that any electrical device electromagically repels dust as long as its running!

It's true! That's why I don't turn off my PC so I dont have to dust it. My wii also has no dust because its near the PC.

Esper mind tricks

Looks like a Fatal Frame/Eternal Sonata hybrid. Hopefully not anywhere near as frightening as FF though, or I won't be able to play it. Saw some ghost arms waving around in a hallway...but that's the creepiest thing I've seen so far.

Looks great though. Gonna have to dust the Wii of for this. That's not really a low shot...it's just the truth. I'll be happy to have a reason to use the console again.

First "Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom", now this? Wow. All these awesome Wii titles I thought I'd never see are coming our way, and I couldn't be happier.

With all of these great titles coming out for all systems, i'm gonna be broke for a while. There are more than enough great games coming out soon(ish) that will satisfy almost every gamer.

@cantbeatmegaman: XSEED's dubs usually are pretty good. I know they like Wendee Lee and Yuri Lowenthal, at least.

@Kamen Rider Gatack: ohhh, Rugrats did that? my correction was referring to the "christmas story" version of 'fra-gi-le'

What about for people who played Eternal Sonata to completion, but found it only vaguely interesting and mostly confusing and generic? Is this for them, too?

Not that there's anyone like that around here. Nope. Nosiree.

This replaces Tatsunoko vs Capcom coming to the US as best news of the year.

I don't know why people call it an RPG though. It's closer to Silent Hill than an RPG.

@WildKnightblazer: It's not really an RPG.

This an T vs C ! So glad I wasn't able to buy a Japanese Wii from Play Asia. Now I won't have to. These were the most wanted games for me. Though Day of Disaster and Cap. Rainbow would be nice to get localized.

@-[[CHoZO]]-: What is it about having to 'dust off' unused consoles, anyways? Whenever they are used, do they magically repel dust? Am I the only one who dusts my playstation regularly?

Best news i've heard all day! I was reallllly worried nobody was gonna pick up this amazing looking wii rpg. And they're even keeping its name? Impressive n_n

Sounds good to me...I LOVED Baten Kaitos.

Someone remind me about this game. Is there combat, or is it mostly exploratory and puzzle solving?

@OriginalGman:

Haha, awesome. I didn't think anyone else would get that reference.

yay!

uh... did anyone else misread the article and initially see 'tri-crescente' as well or was that just me? :p

@-[[CHoZO]]-:

The only reason why my Wii is collecting dust at the moment is because I have yet to but a new recharging station for my NiMH batteries. And I'm all out of juice.

paulrenzo

@-[[CHoZO]]-: Nintendo's press conference is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Also, I'm currently enjoying Punch-Out! Hopefully the quality stream of 3rd party titles will start/continue. Currently mostly looking forward to Sin and Punishment 2, The Conduit, and maybe that Bethesda game that they say is of high quality. Thursday night on Spike TV they might show it...

There is a god...and that's XSEED.

@RicoTheSaboteur:
That was meant for jamesjohnson01... oh well...

@CockroachMan:
Ju-On, Flower, Sun & Rain, now Fragile... Let's hope Korg DS-10 and Populous DS will allow them to sustain that without filing for bankruptcy!

@-[[CHoZO]]-: You should also wonder how many people won't dust off their ol' Wii because they already sold it. :P

(My sarcasm is aimed in the same direction as yours, by the way, so don't shoot. I know these things are not always obvious on the internet.)

Eeeeeeeee <3333~ This is a MUST pick up! The art looks lovely~ I should look for some more info on this!

NekuSakuraba

Drat, we're stuck in a winter release.

Oh, well, I'm gonna buy it.

Trailers looked pretty cool. Gave off a sort of SMT meets Eternal sonata meets Silent Hill kind of vibe.

@-[[CHoZO]]-: A PERSON DEBUNKING THE DUST CRAP?? ON MY KOTAKU??? I WON'T STAND FOR IT!!

@excel_excel: If it is anything like Baten Kaitos then by god trust me it will be good.

@-[[CHoZO]]-: Don't worry, I love the Wii also.

@bakagaijin: RUGRATS

Can't have too many decent JRPGs.

ollemadnotglad

No idea what the game's about, but it's a quirky JRPG that likely would never have made it out of Japan otherwise, thus, XSEED, you are fantastic and I want to bear your children.

WildKB

Fans of Baten Kaitos, huh? Who loved those games? [peers at own avatar] Oh, right. I did.

I've been waiting for tri-Crescendo's next game to make its way over here, ever since IGN started writing all of those little pieces about it...and then Namco crushed us by saying we couldn't have it.

Excellent I was wondering when this would arrive

@-[[CHoZO]]-: dont worry, youre not the only one. no lie, i had to "dust off" my 360 just the other day. havent turned the thing on in a couple of months because the ps3 and wii get all my attention.

im sure when odst comes out, ill turn it on again, but until then.. i really havent had a reason to.

@bakagaijin: *Italian

This is the best news I've heard all day... all week. I hope there is a demo of it at E3.^_^

Finally! I've been waiting for this announcement for a while now. Although I was hoping Atlus would bring it over, although XSeed would have been my next choice.

Orian

YES !!!

@cantbeatmegaman: In an interview they've said that they're trying to see if they can include the original japanese voiceovers. They also say that even if they don't their dub will be great :P

Fantastic! Can't wait for it sounds really good!

"Fragile"...I think it's French...get it?

banana-3

XSEED's doing a lot of this localization pickup recently, isn't it?

Good for them :D

God bless XSEED! Bringing all these cool games stateside.. many thanks

nvofnduewingofndsi TOO MANY WII GAMES THIS YEAR.

Ouch, my wallet... ;_;

Hmmmm. FRA-GI-LE....must be French.

Hmmm, another quirky Wii exclusive. I wonder how many people will have to "dust" the ol' Wii off.

I, personally, love my Wii. I'm not afraid to say it.

-[[CHoZO]]-

Awesomeness! I hope they have an option to keep the JP VA. Or at least hire some really good English VA.

OH GOD YES THANK YOU XSEED.

Can't wait for this one. I haven't read up on if it's actually good or not, but the trailers have guaranteed a buy from me (atleast a discounted price).

I was thinking of importing this one. I am glad that I will get to play it in English now. Xseed is really picking up some great games. Demon Blade and now this! I could end up loving them as much as Atlus.

How have their localizations been?

BrainEater

@Mit: It's the kind of game review sites would give like a seven. Mostly because of bizarre gameplay. But I loved it. It's going to be a cult hit mark my words. The story is just entrancing.

flclkris

@-[[CHoZO]]-: I have to admit, I had to dust mine off. I'm getting it in good shape for "Muramasa".

And now this too, apparently.

@chirokitsune: Guess Banamco is allergic to money, or they really want to put resources in that food network game.

wirebrain

Wow... you would think Bandai Namco would pick up their own game in the US :/ Oh well! XSEED to the rescue :3

I am super stoked about this. First day purchase for me.
