Rune Factory Announced for Wii

via IGN


The Rune Factory series is coming back for a third round, only this time it's on a different platform. The latest issue of Famitsu has first details on Rune Factory Frontier, the first Wii entry in a series that has seen two DS titles so far.

In Rune Factory Frontier, you play as Laguna, who's starting life in a completely new land. Your goal is to build up your village in classic Harvest Moon style (Rune Factory is an offshoot of that series), attracting new residents, and eventually earning the affections of some possible marriage targets.

With the move to Wii, Marvelous appears to be embracing the vastly improved technology at their disposal. Frontier will feature a choice of either 16x9 or 4x3 output modes.

Rune Factory Frontier is set for Japanese release some time this year.

Sweet! Im still waiting for the second one in english. But this is great news. I hope they don't take as long to port it as the other two.

I lost my game in the first one because i saved in a dungeon while being poisoned :(
