Arc Rise Fantasia Now Shipping for Wii

Ignition Entertainment Ltd. and Marvelous Entertainment announced that Arc Rise Fantasia is now shipping exclusively for the Wii system for the price of $39.99.

Arc Rise Fantasia casts a powerful spell on Wii as it summons a traditional and definitive JRPG experience unlike anything currently available for the console. At the heart of the journey is the reluctant hero L’Arc, who must rally friends and allies to defend the peaceful Meridian Empire from attack. The newly formed party of adventurers soon finds itself with much bigger problems, as the assault on the Meridian Empire soon gives way to a battle for the face of the planet. Arc Rise Fantasia packs an inventory full of memorable characters and locations, as well as strategic combat and a truly epic storyline.

“Arc Rise Fantasia delivers just about everything a true fan of JRPGs could want,” said Marcus Beer, Director of Public Relations, Ignition Entertainment. “It has all the elements of a definitive title in the genre and is a great addition to the expanding Wii library.”

Winner of the “Best Wii RPG” from IGN at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2009, Arc Rise Fantasia features everything fans of the JRP genre want out of a classic gaming experience. Players will fight hordes of mystical enemies using a turn-based combat system that allows for deep level of weapon and magic customization. Players can also summon powerful beings to aid them in battle and lay waste to their enemies. Fueling the combat is an epic storyline packed with twists and turns, betrayals and unbreakable friendships.

Arc Rise Fantasia is rated “T for teen” and will ship exclusively for Wii for $39.99.
