– dev started in 06, before the Wii casual market was established

– Monster system was added for casual appeal
– no specific changes were made after it became clear that the Wii was clicking with casuals
– Wiiimote uses, button shortcuts, pointing at what you want to shoot with the Sorcerer’s Ring; click and drag the world map and select destination with the pointer.
– more motion controls may be added for NA release
– Scenario writer for DotNW wrote the original game. There are others on-board from the original project, but most of the staff is new.
– Character proportions changed to stay faithful to new designs
– Fujishima was too busy to do the character designs, so Daigo Okumura (art director for Symphonia and Abyss) did it.
– Monster capturing system intended to be strategic, and also provide people with something to collect. It’s a difficult task to collect all the monsters first time around.
– Affection system present in the monster attraction aspect, no story changes as there were with the original game. Optional side quests available.
– Cooking system returns, but now the Wonder Chef teaches you recipes for monster food, which will change your monster parameters or aid their evolution.
