While this is certainly bad news for those of you who maybe thought you would use dungeon exploration as a way to hold you over until the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it seems a small price to pay if the game can get the extra polish and exposure it seems to deserve.
Today's press release was also interesting because it outlined a few features that will be exclusive to the Wii edition of the game. They are:
· 16:9 Widescreen support
· Progressive Scan support
· Subtle motion control integration for power attacks
· Intuitive controls using Wii Remote and nunchuk
· Classic Controller support for traditional play
It's pretty difficult to think of anything bad to say about the above, aside from the fact that now we have to wait longer to experience it for ourselves. Atlus has felt our pain, though, because now we have details on a few of the items that will appear in the game.
Angelic Rifle
A uniquely shaped rifle that can annihilate any meta-being with one shot. However, its specialized ammunition is very limited.
Sword
A melee weapon to attack the enemy. There are swords that will possess enhanced attributes and added effects.
Coat
Protective gear to resist attacks. There are some coats that will have other effects besides just raising defense.
Torturer
Item that causes a variety of area effects depending on the type of Torturer. They can be combined with others to enhance their effects.
Parasite
It can grant a variety of effects by fusing it with the protagonist or equipment. You can also fuse a parasite with another parasite.
Baroque continues to look like it will be a unique, must-have addition to your Wii library. With two months extra to scrape up the money you'll need, there's now one less excuse to miss out on the promising title.
Look for more information on Baroque in the weeks ahead, along with what we hope will be in-depth coverage closer to the game's delayed release. See you next press release!
