Topic: Earth Seeker

Earth Seeker is an upcoming Wii action/adventure game that looks exciting. It's being developed by some ex-Capcom staff in a new studio called Crafts & Meister. Here's a description from Play-Asia:

Stranded on a foreign planet is the least of your concerns in Earth Seeker, that place is full of monsters. Stop time in the real time battles to combo them. There are no complicated sequence of inputs, this easy to master system will appeal to players who are unaccustomed to action games or turn based battles.

Besides stopping time, players can recruit allies into their team. The inhabitants of the planet - Guardians each master their element. With a bit of alcohol in your possession, you can have them fight for you. Come explore this dangerous and colorful world.

Destructoid and GoNintendo have a bit more info and pictures too:

Opening video!

Box art!

They are never gonna port this outside Japan. It's too interesting.

looks interesting

Actually, I wouldn't be so sure about that just yet.

If Kadokawa Games trademarking of Rodea the Sky Soldier (Yuji Naka's upcoming Wii game) in the US is any indication, its quite possible that KG may consider releasing Earth Seeker overseas. If so, it would be great if XSEED, after their fantastic handling of Rune Factory Frontier, were chosen to be responsible for it's localization.

I need this game nao D:

Go XSEED!

The art alone makes me interested in this game (one of the better attempts at a sort of 3D anime look I've seen in a game). Description of the game seems kinda generic but it seems like it could be done really well here.

@kkslider Yeah, I love how the eyes look in game. Amazing.

I also really hope they keep that beautiful box art for the western release too.

Looks kinda interesting. I hope it gets released in Europe.

Some new artwork and screenshots.

I've really missed 3d graphics with actual multiple colors that isn't Nintendo or Sonic.

that looks so beautiful! and i love the statue of liberty head. the art style rocks

Well said. This game looks beautiful. Anyone who says "yeah but it would look better in HD" is a jerk who deserves to be slapped.

That looks really interesting - I hope it gets a release in PAL regions!

Of course it would look better in HD. Simple fact.

honestly i'm not really a fan of most hd graphics. devs try to make it look realistic but it just ends up looking weird. in my bopinion anyway, don't yell at me for saying that

I was talking more about how HD graphics would be able to smooth the edges and add extra detail. HD doesn't have to mean realistic or gritty.

i'm aware of that, notice how i said "most"

Wow
It looks really good.
I haven't seen a good looking Wii games since DonkeyKong Country Return.
Why can Wii have nice things?

I know what you mean, GuardianAcorn, and I agree with you. No matter how powerful graphics get, game designers will apparently always have a hard time making people that don't look awkward and like they're made out of plastic. There's something about HD that makes things look unnaturally crisp that I just can't get used to.
