Ignition Entertainment is gearing up to release "the definitive JRPG for the Wii" this summer, and eight new screenshots show us how much that looks like a Namco Bandai Tales of Something title.
That's not a bad thing, of course. In truth, Luminous Arc developer Imageepoch's first console title is looking quite lovely. Plus the Japanese seemed to really enjoy it when it came out last year, picking up 26,000 copies during the first week of release.
I just wish RPG developers would go ahead and figure out which console is going to be the go-to for role-playing games this generation. First there was the Super Nintendo. Then it was the PlayStation, followed by the PlayStation 2. So far this generation it's pretty even between the Wii and Xbox 360, with the PlayStation 3 slowly catching up. Will there be a clear winner?
