Ignition Entertainment to publish Arc Rise Fantasia

October 22nd, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

Wow…This is another huge pick up for Ignition I’d say. I wonder what’s going on with XSEED, since this is the second title that the publisher has lost out on to Ignition.

Turn-Based RPG Gives Wii Owners The Power To Party-Up and Summon Deadly Creatures
GLENDALE, Calif.–(Business Wire)–
Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames and Marvelous Entertainment announced that Arc Rise Fantasia is releasing in Summer 2010 exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

Arc Rise Fantasia, winner of the “Best Wii RPG” from IGN at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2009, is a new turn-based RPG with a beautiful, anime-inspired Japanese art style. Players will jump into the shoes of L`Arc, a calm and composed mercenary, who sets out to defend the Meridian Empire from an impending invasion of ferocious creatures. After assembling a party of friends, each with a unique set of abilities, players will embark on a perilous journey across an overworld filled with deadly enemies and treacherous dungeons. While strategically queuing up attacks, players can summon mystical creatures and work with their party members to execute massive attacks.

“We are absolutely thrilled to bring Arc Rise Fantasia to a western audience,” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “It`s an ambitious Japanese role-playing game with deep gameplay, top-notch production values, and an unforgettable story line–Wii owners have been pining for a massive fantasy epic and their patience will definitely be rewarded.”

“In Arc Rise Fantasia we’ve implemented a fun and quick paced battle system to give gamers an enjoyable RPG experience,” said Hiroyuki Kanemaru of Image Epoch. “Ignition Entertainment has a great track record with bringing established Japanese experiences to new western audiences and we`re delighted to be able to team up with them to publish Arc Rise Fantasia.”

    Just because a game gets the award for “Best Wii RPG” at the Electronic Entertainment Expo doesn’t mean a lot. It only mean out of the Wii RPG’s at the expo this was the best one and that doesn’t indicate how good the game is either. What about any and all other Wii RPG’s that weren’t at the Expo or are still in developement?

    And coming from a credulous gaming source like IGN, a statement like that carries even less weight.

    I am still excited to see what the game is like though.
