BREAKING NEWS: RISING STAR GAMES ANNOUNCES FRAGILE FOR EUROPE

Rising Star Games Confirms Release of Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon in PAL Territories

29th June 2009 – Rising Star Games is pleased to confirm securing the publishing rights for the much anticipated fantasy adventure title. Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon developed by Tri Crescendo, the team responsible for Baten Kaitos and, more recently, Eternal Sonata exclusively for Wii™. Fragile is scheduled for a Q1 2010 release in the PAL territories.

“Fragile has a great team of creative designers who in turn have brought to life a beautiful art style that pushes the limits of the Wii console without compromising on gaming quality” stated Tyrone Walcott product manager at Rising Star Games. “This announcement will delight European gamers and the Otaku community. Rising Star Games has again shown its commitment to bring the best games from Japan.”

For members of Rising Star Games exclusive Hoshi Club, this information was released exclusively 72 hours earlier. “We’re incredibly excited about bringing Fragile to the PAL territories. There’s been a massive upsurge of interest for this title since being showcased in Famitsu (Japan)” explained Simon Alty, Rising Star Games’ Head of Brand. “The feedback from fans in our forums was that this was a title they wanted us to champion and we are very excited to respond to that ‘fan power’ with this announcement.”

Fragile takes place in the near future, in a world that has lost its population. You play as Seto, a young boy searching through the abandoned cities and facilities of this world, trying to learn the truth behind the disappearance of all the people, and to find someone to keep him company. In addition to exploration, Seto has to deal with ghosts who appear in the ruins.

Players will be able to explore a dark and abandoned world with the aid of their Wii Remote™ that functions as a flashlight and as a proximity sensor to hunt down invisible ghosts. The cinematic presentation, joined with an emotional soundtrack, bring the tale of a lonely and lost individual to life as players encounter memorable characters and discover the back story behind scavenged objects that provide insight on people’s last days before the apocalypse.

Earlier this month, I took Wii MotionPlus for a swing with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. It was then that I realized truly what Wii MotionPlus had to offer. The device worked great with Tiger Woods and I made a bold statement: “Wii MotionPlus is set to truly re-define the way we play games”. The only way to prove that was to use it with another compatible game, one that was designed from the ground up with Wii MotionPlus in mind. And so, I got my hands on a copy of Wii Sports Resort. After a few hours, I’ve explored the many aspects of the game and have a very good sense of how good the game is, as well as how well Wii MotionPlus can enhance gameplay.

A sequel to the 2007 “The Gamer”, “The Gamer 2″ is a tour de force. Donkey Kong and his henchmen from the gaming universe are back, and this time, The Gamer will need to pull out all the stops in order to defeat them.

Featuring games such as Tetris, Doom, Pokemon, Smash Bros. and more, “The Gamer 2″ is everything a sequel should be.

Well, we just heard about Shia’s opinion on the Wii, “It’s kind of an amateur console”, now lets see what his Transformers co-star/better half has to say about the console, Nintendo, and gaming in general. I suspect this interviews are to take our attention away at how bad the Transformers 2 video game is and the not so raving reviews about the new movie itself….

WhatThePlay.com interviewed her, here is a portion:

What videogames did you like playing growing up?

Megan Fox: My first gaming console was the Super Nintendo when I was about nine, and my first game was Aladdin. I remember playing that as a wee child. I’ve always really loved video games. Some of them, unfortunately, I’m not very good at playing, but some of them I’m kind of a badass at.

So which games are you badass at?

Megan Fox: Anything Mortal Kombat. I have that down and I don’t cheat. That game just works well with my brain. The way my brain fires signals works well with how that game works. And I’m just really good.

And you memorized all the Fatality moves?

Megan Fox: Most of them. Not all of them. The Mortal Kombat that just came out (Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe), I hated playing as Superman. His combos were so weird. I don’t know, I just thought it was lame.

What are your thoughts on the Wii getting kids active?

Megan Fox: I’m totally a fan of the Wii, I’m just not good at it. I actually have a Wii Fit and it’s actually a really hard workout. It’s pretty interesting. I think it’s amazing you can combine exercise and gaming. There really are games like Raving Rabbids and there are these little missions that you have to do where you run. You’re running with your arms but I swear to God I was so out of breath after every time I completed a mission. It really gets your cardio workout and it’s a video game, which sounds crazy. But I think that’s amazing. I hope we keep heading in that direction.

They just came out with Punch-Out for Wii.

Megan Fox: Yeah, you’ll have to punch in the game, which will be exhausting.

And EA Sports Active just came out which adds cardio workouts like crunches to the mix.

Megan Fox: Oy Veh. I don’t know if I can keep up.

What do you like playing on Wii for fun?

Megan Fox: I love Lego Star Wars. You can play in tandem. Except the one thing I don’t like about that game is that if one person is lagging behind and wants to check something out, and you’re running ahead, you drag the screen with you. You can’t stay separate when you’re playing on a team together. That becomes annoying.

Have you played the other Lego games?

Megan Fox: Indiana Jones and Batman? Yeah, I’ve played all of them. But Star Wars is my favorite.
