There's no date like September 29 for The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

by JC Fletcher { Sep 15th 2009 at 3:15PM }

XSEED announced the release date for the localized version of RIZ-ZOAWD, now more sensibly (but less intriguingly) titled The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Players will be rolling Dorothy and co. around the land of Oz with a virtual trackball starting September 29. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about that date is that it isn't Spring 2010.

Beyond the Yellow Brick Road combines the Oz setting and characters with a JRPG design, resulting in something that is, well, really weird.

This year? They wanna take on Kingdom Hearts? It also releases on the 29th.

I just added this to my "Most Wanted" list, but it's in the low 70's (73rd out of about 100 games on my list. 22nd out of 35 for DS games on the list)

I think I'll wait for the reviews and/or price drop before I would get it.

RIZ-ZOAWD was a better name.

I agree... for me, RIZ-ZOAWD is a more "mysterious" (and confusing) title, and I like it better. It seems more appealing and definitely less literal. Also, the Japanese box art is so much better =/.

But it doesn't matter, I've been really waiting for this game! :)
