New Wii Action RPG from Jaleco: Kizuna

The site would be okay, but it's laggy as all fuck for me. Awesome art, though, I hope someone is able to rip it from the site or something. Really interested in this!

I shall do the near impossible and find all the assets on the site and show them to you all here!

I'll take a while of course, but I will do it!
Thank you! The site's not loading for me...

Guess there's no use in going on now that you did all of my work! Kudos to you! :D

I still would've done it though.

The boss fight really looks like a SotC rip-off. :/
You say it like it's a bad thing. I want MORE games to do that.

And the gameplay in that fight can still be completely different from SotC from all we know.

Maybe its like Kraid from super metroid :)
...with a sword...
 
There's something about these screens that screams quality! I think it looks really nice but we won't really be able to tell until we get direct-feed screens. I'd love it if you'd rip the character art, Hero of legend.

Japan keeps on bringing the Wii love :D

That pencil shading effect looks lovely.

exactly. if the game is bad call it a rip-off. if it's good celebrate it.
 
Ho. Lee. Shit. Holy shit holy shit. This looks absolutely awesome. I can not wait to find out more about this game, it has such an awesome art style behind it.

And I still don't understand, is this officially a completely different Jaleco in all senses?
 
I wonder when developers will stop wrapping their games in mystery by showing filtered screenshots and 3-second-long teasers.

That said, if the screens, however filtered, are any indication, the game doesn't look too shabby from a visual standpoint!

Well, according to the website of Jaleco Holding, Jaleco Ltd. was founded in 2006 and has 50 employees. In 2000, the old Jaleco was acquired by the Chinese company PCCW, and renamed to PCCW Japan. In 2004, the company name was changed back to Jaleco, and to Jaleco Holding in 2006. They also moved the game business to the newly established, wholly owned subsidary Jaleco Ltd. in 2006.

Aye. It's somewhat strange, anyway. PCCW is not a game company. They provide financial services, develop business software and stuff. They probably acquired Jaleco to move their company from Hong-Kong to Japan - I guess Jaleco was for sale and cheap. Jaleco is pretty big these days, but the games division is tiny. This seems to be their first big project.
 
What a come back Jaleco!!!

Damn I hope they add the pincel effects on borders in the final build =D

Looks absolutelly nice, It must be localizated =/
 
what is that red reticule for? It coul be cool, if your hits depends on you point with that reticule, I imagine a great variety of combos depending the body enemy part wich is being pointed.

According to gameplay descriptions, you use the Wiimote to point at an enemy and use buttons to attack. A red reticule probably means you are aiming at an enemy.

I understand it now that I read a few more times:

Old Jaleco = Jaleco Holdings.

Jaleco Ltd., responsible for Kizuna = Old Jaleco's successor.

I assume that the people that was part of the old Jaleco when they made games, moved on to the new Jaleco Ltd.

The new Jaleco has done other projects before Kizuna as their website shows, including Puchi Puchi Virus, which NIS America brought over!
 
That huge art/screen collection is amazing...

I do wonder who will localize it, though...if anyone even bothers... =(
