TGS 2008: Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga Trailer is... Crappy Looking

Marvelous has a new trailer available for their upcoming console rendition of their PSP dungeon crawling series, Valhalla Knights. Give it a watch.



Okay, I'm going to be up front about this: this game's graphics are terrible. Like, this isn't "no HD = ph41L!" or something obnoxious like that. Seriously, this looks like a PSP game. That would be fine if it was on the PSP, but its not.

Marvelous, please try harder.

Also, apparently Motoi Sakuraba (Tales of, Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile) is composing the soundtrack. I did not know that.

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is set for release sometime in 2009.

Marvelous Hearts Wii, Announces More Valhalla Knights

Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Little King's Story, Oboro Muramasa Youtouden, Arc Rise Fantasia. That is a rather large portion of the RPGs announced for the Nintendo Wii, and all of them are being published by Marvelous Interactive.

Well, add another title to that list. Via the latest issue of Famitsu, Marvelous has announced that its Valhalla Knights series (up until now a PSP exclusive) will be making its Wii debut with Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga. (Note that I am unsure who is developing this title. K2 developed the previous entries, but I couldn't see the developer of this title mentioned in this article.)

As with previous entries, Eldar Saga allows players to fully create and customize their own character, team up with friends via Wi-Fi, and go exploring around the world.

Players may choose to create characters of human, elven, dwarven, or hobbit-ish(?) decent, and even certain color palettes may be edited.

Wow. Between this, Echoes of Time, Monster Hunter 3, and simulation RPGs like Little King's Story, the Wii is like the modern PSP.


Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga will be available in Japan sometime next year.
