Nintendo Bringing Solatorobo to Europe

Even with the 3DS out in stores in Europe, the DS continues to trundle onwards as Nintendo have entered into a partnership with Namco Bandai Games Europe S.A.S. to release Solatorobo: Red The Hunter in July.

After numerous trademarks began appearing on various European sites, it has finally been announced that Solatorobo: Red The Hunter will be seeing a release in the region. The game, which has been developed by Namco Bandai and is an action role playing, will be seeing release across Europe later this year as Nintendo have entered into an agreement to carry out distribution and marketing of the title across the continent, as well as across Russia, Turkey, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

In Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, prepare to enter a world of epic fantasy action in a role playing game set on the mythical floating islands of the Shepherd Republic. Take on the story of Red Savarin, an anthropomorphic dog with the ability to take a human form, as he does battle with giant robotic "mecha" and other enemies as he explores the floating islands.

This engrossing quest is set amid picturesque anime graphics produced by some of the world's leading animators and manga names such as Nobuteru Yuki (The Vision of Escaflowne) and movies and cut scenes designed by Madhouse (Marvel Anime, Ninja Scroll, DeathNote, CardCaptor Sakura).

The game is set for release in Europe on July 1st. No mention was made on whether the game will see a release in North America. Stay tuned, though, and we'll bring you any news as soon as it becomes available.

  Since they got Square to develop Mario Sports Mix and got ex-Square team to develop Ocarina of Time 3D, it does fuel the speculation that their first party developers are working on something big. And I really hope The Last Story goes through. I would buy anything with Nobuo Uematsu's name on it.

  The US will most likely get Xenoblade and The Last Story, just as Europe will, as they're two big Wii titles and Nintendo really needs something to carry them through the next 18 months before they seriously have to consider a new home console. This is perhaps a bit too niche to see release in the US (although I would have said that about Europe too) but to be fair, you got Radiant Historia, SMT: Strange Journey and several other RPGs, including some Nintendo published ones, we didn't get in Europe so not really unfair.

  So Europe is getting Solatorobo and Xenoblade while US only got a maybe on The Last Story... Kinda unfair on the JRPG distribution.
