And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

For a new etablished company like Jaleco impressive first effort on wii - hope we`ll see it soon in motion. Hope at TGS we`ll see more wii announcments like this :)
A. Not Jaleco's first Wii game, they've done a big-rig trucking RPG/custom art game of some sort. It looked pretty shite.

B. They outsourced the development of this. The Jaleco dudes are only publishing.

C. Jaleco has been around for years and years and years. They've just been small-time for the last several (cell-phone games for the JPN market and the occasional Pimp my 18-Wheeler game).

No, but not reading the thread is.

No it's not AT ALL!
Wii defense force needs to chill the fuck out. Reminds me of SotC is the greatest compliment you can get.
 
Weird. Looks like SotC but info says otherwise. Graphically it doesn't look like anything special (other than the pencil effect), looks like poor man SotC. But doesn't seem to play like SotC at all. Would be interesting to see it in motion, the paper effect specially might shine more in motion.

Ho, ho, ho. I guess they only had a Gamecube last gen.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

I thought this was their first big inhouse game since the company was founded in 2006. If it's not inhouse, who's developing this?

By the way, this Jaleco isn't really the same company you remember from the NES/ SNES days. The old Jaleco was acquired a few years ago by the Chinese company PCCW.

I don't mean you. There are certain people in this thread bitching about the mentioning of SotC.

What am I supposed to read? Yes it has smaller enemies as well, 100+ quests etc. I was just saying that it's not graphically impressive to me since the look is so similiar to that of SotC, but worse.

I suppose nearly everyone's loving this so I'll be the minority, but. Does anyone else think the weird cross-hatch/pencil/whatever that is style is annoying? Looks like constant rain or something to me and makes the pictures not pretty.

...though actually, I looked at okami screenshots just now, and I guess they had a similar weird bumpy texture thing going on. I never played okami, though.

I think that's the whole point behind the art direction of this game. Though they'll have to work extra hard to ensure the enviroment and its elements are easy to discern.

I would need to see it in motion to know.
I like the concept and the art style, I hope gameplay doesn't suck.

Doesn't know that "You" is used in both the singular and plural
looks interesting. this is what wii devs should be doing; focusing on style.

Looks great, using great art style can let the Wii compete with the 360/PS3. Madworld looks fantastic as well.

This was the type of thing I was hoping would happen with the Wii, smaller dev houses that can make cheaper, stylized games that don't cost 8 figures.

pointing at strategic locations and wailing on buttons for targeted bludgeoning sounds strangely satisfying.

monsters and general style look great.
 
Yay for Scans!

And after someone posted the back-to-back scans, comparing it to SoTC. . . I have to say that I don't see whats soo "alike" between them other than having huge bosses.

In this game it seems like there might be a party of characters (That man with a sword, TomBoy princess and that lady in the dress), lots of people to make "bonds" with/ do missions for and so on.

The art style also reminds me of OKM mixed with that Sega game.

Not saying it's "bad" or w/e that people are yelling SoTC. . .Im just saying that I don't see why huge bosses warrent it when I see soo many differences.
 
Wow this is going onto the radar. Owned my Wii since launch, and despite owning the likes of Excite Truck, Galaxy, Metroid, Paper Mario I have only played it twice. Maybe this can get me to finally fire it up.

Yeah I don't get it either. Just putting the game down as a SotC ripoff/poor version/whatever doesn't make much sense to me. Climbing on the bosses from what it sounds like is where the similarity end.

Not like Wander is the most unique sword wielding young adult protagonist ever.

I'll be happy if its a solid ARPG that uses elements from SoTC boss battles because more games need to add more of a puzzle aspect to their battles.

edit: 2 names in the game and I mixed them up meh...
