Arc Rise Fantasia announced for the Wii photo

In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Marvelous Interactive announced that Arc Rise Fantasia is Wii-bound. The title is in the capable hands of developer Image Epoch, the guys responsible for the Nintendo DS strategy RPG Luminous Arc. Before American Wii owners' mouths start foaming, it is important to note that a translation has yet to be announced.

Arc Rise Fantasia
is set to be a traditional RPG, with a turn-based battle system and heavy strategic elements. The game revolves around the concept of big, scary dragons, and an empire’s inability to kill them easily. Apparently, when dragons are killed in Arc Rise Fantasia’s fantasy world, they release a poisonous gas. At one point these reptilian Zeppelins were willing to steer clear of the major cities of the empire, but now as they move in a gigantic horde towards the capital, someone has to stop them. Enter the dashing protagonists.

No release date has been announced as of yet, but isn’t it exciting to finally hear about a legitimate RPG experience for the Wii?

No offense new Brad, but hasn't BSD been doing this longer?

I'm convinced that, after witnessing his numerous blog posts, Brad is a Terminator sent from the future in order to oversee the construction of Skynet.

@powerglove:

Yes, as a contributor, not as an editor. Maybe BSD's just never got an opinion on the news stories he submits.

Okay, so... who is this guy? Or rather, who was he before he was assimilated?

Sharpless, he literally went by his name, Brad Nicholson.

Let's all search "Brad Nicholson" on Google Images with the filter off.







Ok that was a bad idea.

Yay, new Brad!

I am going to miss the old Brad, though. May he rest in peace. :(

So, wait, why have I never heard of Brad Nicholson, then? Is he just really new? Or am I just really oblivious?
power-glove's Avatar - Comment posted on 06/25/2008 22:13

Yeah, he is relatively new around here.

@Sharpless,
Yeah, he's a new editor. The old Brad died in a horrible ... oh, you don't want to know. It's just too ... horrible.

@Chad
I don't think two Brads will be a problem. I think we've got a bigger issue with the number of editors whose names start with "J". I mean, four? That's not acceptable. I expect an American Gladiatorial deathmatch, ASAP.

@chad yes, so now my evil, angry counterpart is all that's left.

@lark We're not together anymore, FYI.

There was a good, happy Brad? I've only ever seen the Brad who is bitter about everything at a relatively young age.

Ah, congratulations Brad.

Vanish/Doom is where he came from. Good editorials, to boot, not to mention a passion for the writing.
