NEW YORK, NY – December 21, 2009 – GAME ARTS announced today that the heartwarming action-adventure game The Magic Obelisk will be available in North America on WiiWare™ on December 28, 2009. This is the first original title in a decade from the acclaimed Japanese developer. The Magic Obelisk is an unforgettably original gameplay experience featuring fascinating characters, an extraordinary tale, and the forge of a deep friendship.
Featuring over 30 stages, The Magic Obelisk revolves around a tree spirit named Lukus. Like other tree spirits of this world, Lukus is gifted with the ability to transform into trees and is eager to use his powers to help people around the world. He is looking for the perfect place to take root and become a tree, but unfortunately the only way he can move is by shadows, a journey he cannot complete himself. Players are tasked with helping Lukus reach his goal by taking charge of Popo, a light spirit who can shine his light near the mysterious Magic Obelisks to create shadows. When Popo shines his light near one of these obelisks, he can create shadows and connect two or more shadows to help Lukus move through the level.
At this year’s E3, Activision and Tony Hawk showcased the latest in the Tony Hawk Skateboarding franchise, Tony Hawk: RIDE. The response from show attendees wasn’t great, but it wasn’t all bad either. Most people felt the game showed a lot of promise and, being an early version of the game, didn’t judge it too harshly. Fast forward a few months to Tony Hawk: RIDE’s release date, and the response has been significantly lower across the board. Check out the full review below to see how Tony Hawk’s latest plays on the Wii.
