KOEI today announced that Opoona, a new Role-Playing Game exclusively for Wii is scheduled for a North American release on March 25, 2008.
"With Opoona, developer ArtePiazza had a masterful approach to creating an Action RPG for Wii that includes intuitive and interactive controls using just the Nunchuk," said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President at KOEI Corporation. "Opoona will give video gamers a refreshing and new perspective on the Role-Playing genre. The ‘single-hand control' combined with the modern fantasy world of Opoona is sure to captivate both veteran gamers and newcomers alike."
About Opoona
While on an interplanetary family vacation, the young boy Opoona crash lands on Planet Landroll after his spaceship is involved in a mysterious accident. Separated from his family, Opoona is forced to live alone. On the planet, Opoona must find a job, search for his siblings, and defend himself and the people of Landroll against creatures known as the Dark Rogues. Luckily for Opoona, he is the descendant of a long line of warriors known as the Cosmo Guards. Thus, Opoona's adventure begins as he struggles to establish a new life and reunite his family.
The game's action-oriented battle system lets players use powerful "Energy Bonbons" against their enemies. Using just the Nunchuk, players can manipulate an Energy Bonbon's trajectory in a number of different ways. All of Opoona's commands are also controlled by the Nunchuk, to allow a complete "single-hand control" of the game.
