Square Enix has announced their fifth (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/31/chocobos-dungeon-warks-to-north-america-in-july/) Wii (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/01/maintaining-your-life-as-a-king-isnt-cheap/) game (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/02/27/wii-fanboy-review-dragon-quest-swords/) (fourth if Crystal Bearers (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/18/crystal-bearers-continued-development-possibly-confirmed/) doesn't pan out, of course), and, for the first time, it's not a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest spinoff. Instead, it's a licensed anime/manga game! Soul Eater: Monotone Princess is based on the Soul Eater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Eater_(manga)) manga (and the anime that just started this week) about students in some kind of crazy school where they learn to make living weapons.
Normally we'd groan about a licensed game, but Soul Eater is an action game! It has adventure elements, of course (those still portraits of the manga's characters have got to tell the story sometime!), but it looks like a pretty cool bit of 3D weapon-based brawling.
