Koei reveals Opoona News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

14 March, 2007

Koei has unveiled a new and original title exclusively for Wii.

It's called Opoona, which also happens to be the name of the main character - who soon finds himself investigating mysterious events that left his parents hospitalised and his brother and sister missing.

Set in a quirky cosmic world, you'll have to venture to other colonies to unravel the tale, choosing to become a rescuer, idol, or detective before you can obtain a licence to travel.

Koei were unavailable to tell us more about the game this morning, but had previously told US sites that movement and combat would be controlled entirely by the nunchuck, with absolutely no use for the Wiimote at all.

Opoona is still firmly in the murky release-date waters of TBC, and we have only a spattering of concept art to go by at the moment, which paints the game in a quirky light.

However, Final Fantasy XII's composer Hitoshi Sakimoto is on board, as is art lead Shintaro Majima and planning director Sachiko Sugimura, who previously worked on the Dragon Quest series.

Exclusive Wii content from 3rd party devs, sounds good to me. There's also the elusive Project O, which sounds really exciting especially to fans of Harvest Moon.

Controlled entirely by the nunchuck, eh? Sounds interesting.

Last time i looked, my trusty nunchuck had only 2 buttons... I hope that they know what they're doing.

How many buttons do you wont? I'm guessing you'll attack things by waving the numchuck about and the buttong will be used for jump and interact. It's good to see games that use more basic controls, will leave them to focus on game play and story.

If your Wii is dusty you should really be drinking more water.

Sounds a bit like Fahrenheit for the Wii, for some reason.

This could be promising. I agree, the Wii needs much more in terms of new and \ or exclusive content, original IP and the like.

ps I thought EG was now deleting twats for posting "FIRST!" and nothing else on the first post?

Oh let them have their fun. It's pretty inoffensive behaviour when you set it against some of the fanboy rantings :)

"However, Final Fantasy XII's composer Hitoshi Sakimoto is on board, as is art lead Shintaro Majima and planning director Sachiko Yukimura, who previously worked on the Dragon Quest series."
