Wii Rune Factory out next week

Rising Star Games has told Eurogamer that Rune Factory: Frontier will be released on Wii next Thursday, 1st April. Friday, remember, is a bank holiday (Good Friday).

Frontier is the first RF instalment on console, and was released for Japan in 2008 and the US in 2009. We may be last to the party, but the wait should be worthwhile, with regional reviews touting plenty of depth and quality.

Rune Factory is made by the creators of Harvest Moon and puts a medieval fantasy spin on the farm-building licence.

Take a look at some screenshots in our Rune Factory: Frontier gallery.
