Ah, the ESRB. Rating video games for discerning gamers since the mid-90s. But what else does the ESRB do for us? Why, it gives us accidental game announcements too! Hooray! This time, the ESRB has inadvertently spilled the beans on Mistwalker and Nintendo's first (and maybe only) collaborative project - ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat. For those of you who tune in to my personal blog, you'll probably remember that I posted and Obscure Game Tuesday article about this little SRPG. While I, myself am not the biggest fan of SRPGs (I find them incredibly slow-paced for my own liking), ASH has behind it some pretty innovative storytelling. For those of you who thought Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were too cliched, you may want to give ASH a spin. The story of a lone Princess surviving the decimation of her kingdom on her 17th birthday by a fabled creature of fire, only to see her friends revive in front of her as walking, talking piles of ash is certainly unique. Though there is currently no release date, the fact that it has already been played through and rated suggests that it is not far off. We'll keep you posted.
Now if only Nintendo would get around to bringing over Soma Bringer...
