There's been a new thread for this to separate it from Hotel Dusk 2 (though maybe it shouldn't just say "videos" then). Just saying

That box art is incredible. The black box makes it just perfect.

I have zero interest in this game and yet I want it now. But I know that if it does come to the US, it will be completely ruined

Why didnt they bundle this with the M+? its a perfect excuse to get people to pick up the game

Probably because even if it does sell well, it will still be a relatively niche title and they may have been unable to justify the extra packaging costs involved? Or perhaps retailers are leery of ordering larger boxed titles, especially as regards niche Wii games? Or perhaps because the game supports the CC and standard Wii controls Nintendo were keen to position the game as a more "standard" type of game for gamers who enjoyed EDF but who would have shied away from this if they felt it had mandatory Wii controls? All of above? None of the above?

That boxart is almost as good as the Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Sky boxart. Almost.

Of course it remains to be seen if it will bomb as badly.

I don't remember the first thing about WR, should I just go ahead and start LW?

Wow, that looks really slick. Surprised a new IP is getting the VIP treatment from Nintendo. They must have high hopes for it.

it does look awesome.. graphics are great and it has motion plus support...

i think nintendo is doing a little more advertisement for this game

I was bored so I romanized the Japanese names of the characters in order of how they are on the Character page on the website.

A few of those are probably wrong but I was bored so. I just hope this game comes out in the US!

Since I'm as bored as you, allow me to translate them. They're actually names from Norse mythology. I'll only translate those I'm sure of, as I'm not an expert by any means. Maybe Dragon could give us a hand if she's around?

Anyway:
Frey (hero)
Freyja/Freya IIRC (heroin)
Brunehilde
Odin
Isen
Thor
??
??
Heimdall
Sigmund
Helgi
Regin (I guess?)
??
??
Gunther/Gunthar (?)
Hagen (not sure)
??

So yeah, the game is actually about Norse mythology. The two heroes are gods, and the people who are fighting the giants (who might as well be called titans, as their name is written with the kanji for "god") are humans. Some villagers actually say "maybe I'll go to Valhalla" during gameplay when they're attacked, or something like that.
