TGS08: Arc Rise Fantasia to make North American dreams come true

by David Hinkle { Oct 9th 2008 at 7:08PM }

We've known about Arc Rise Fantasia for quite awhile now. Up until today, we've had to look at screens with envy, as the title was not confirmed for a North American release. Sure, we hoped it would happen, but there weren't any guarantees. That is, until now.

According to the press release that just hit our inbox, fresh from TGS, the game is scheduled to release sometime in 2009. Sadly, we don't have any kind of idea as to when in 2009 we'll be able to get our hands on this game, but, hey, at least we now know it's coming.

"Sometime in 2009" is looking to be the best time in Wii's run thus far.

i MOST DEFINITELY agree with you my friend! there's so many great games being released for the Wii in 2009 that i can't help but think about it everyday (seriously! everyday it runs through my head)! man i seriously need to stop playing so extensively so that i can save some play time for when i'm bored :(

OK, I have no idea what you're talking about there.

But anyway, I never really paid attention to this game until just now, so I'm just now looking at the screen shots... Looks kind of generic, but if the gameplay and music is good, I might check it out once it's released.

well gameplay is the most important part of any video game. people just tend to look at games nowadays and think "generic. don't want it" without even trying it. sometimes we have to look past all that and try it for ourselves. if something appeals to you and you like whatever it is that appealed to you then you should continue to play the game until your certain you don't like it. but the important thing is to try it out first. maybe you have a friend who can lend you the said game. or maybe you can rent it before buying it and try it out like that. but above all (as i said before) try it out first. if it doesn't appeal to you, then move on. its not like anyones gonna hate you for moving on.
