We've been seeing a real lack of originality with Wii games so far with most being cross-platform ports. So the coming of Koei's Opoona, an intriguing space adventure, is a welcome revelation.
You play as Opoona whose family visit to the planet Landroll takes a turn for the worse when he finds his parents are admitted to hospital, and his brother and sister mysteriously disappear.
Your quest to find out what happened sees you travel to different colonies. You will need to earn licences to enter each colony, which entails you taking on various careers like becoming a rescuer, a detective or an "idol", according to 1up.
It sounds bizarre, but interesting. With players able to choose between careers on the fly, this could add some neat variety to the gameplay. We'd hope so, anyway.
Also intriguing is the control system, which uses the Nuchuk alone. All that's been revealed so far is the ability to launch projectiles at enemies by flicking the Nunchuk.
