Monado Beginning of the World [Wii-RPG]
Being developed by Monolith for the Wii, Manado was one of the few games that weren’t available on the show flow. The character designs seem to be similar to the character design of Xenosaga and Disaster: Day of Crisis.
A Witches Tale [DS Trailer 2009]
Another interesting title from NIS brings a nice mixture of gothic macabre with anime-esque humor.

What are the biggest RPG cliches?
Nintendo Power (issue 238) has an RPG blow-out of sorts. I’m not a role-player, but I chuckled after stumbling upon the magazine’s “RPG Checklist,” which includes: Spikey-haired protagonist Earnest/clueless female lead Amnesia a key plot point Events foretold by prophecy Random battles Orphaned party members Airship travel Underage hearoes Technology is evil For those who k...

SEGA’s Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS) screenshots look sharp
SEGA has posted a few screenshots of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS) today (via Videogamer), so I thought I’d share them with you. Question for the day is: Has Sonic re-found his footing with a DS RPG title? And yes, I’m well aware of my previous comments regarding looks. Truth is, I’m very shallow. [Thanks, Will!]
