To celebrate the announcement of Fragile's European release, its publisher Rising Star captured a dozen screenshots in high resolution. The sense of light and color flatters the eye like no other Wii game. Fragile is developed by Tri Crescendo, the makers of Baten Kaitos and, more recently, Eternal Sonata. The game is scheduled for a Q1 2010 release in the PAL territories.
“Fragile has a great team of creative designers who in turn have brought to life a beautiful art style that pushes the limits of the Wii console without compromising on gaming quality” stated Tyrone Walcott product manager at Rising Star Games. “This announcement will delight European gamers and the Otaku community. Rising Star Games has again shown its commitment to bring the best games from Japan.”
For members of Rising Star Games exclusive Hoshi Club, this information was released exclusively 72 hours earlier. “We’re incredibly excited about bringing Fragile to the PAL territories. There’s been a massive upsurge of interest for this title since being showcased in Famitsu (Japan)” explained Simon Alty, Rising Star Games’ Head of Brand. “The feedback from fans in our forums was that this was a title they wanted us to champion and we are very excited to respond to that ‘fan power’ with this announcement.”
Fragile takes place in the near future, in a world that has lost its population. You play as Seto, a young boy searching through the abandoned cities and facilities of this world, trying to learn the truth behind the disappearance of all the people, and to find someone to keep him company. In addition to exploration, Seto has to deal with ghosts who appear in the ruins.
Players will be able to explore a dark and abandoned world with the aid of their Wii Remote™ that functions as a flashlight and as a proximity sensor to hunt down invisible ghosts. The cinematic presentation, joined with an emotional soundtrack, bring the tale of a lonely and lost individual to life as players encounter memorable characters and discover the back story behind scavenged objects that provide insight on people's last days before the apocalypse.

I've never sold a console without subsequent UTTER grief. There's always gonna be the one (or five, or fifteen) game(s) you'd play if you had the console, and shelling out the asking price for the game itself is a very minor deal whereas getting the console again is a huge bar to clear.
I'm still holding on to my PSP, which is now down to one game again; the forever luminous Lumines. I just know if I get rid of it there'll be some brand of awesomeness brought out within 6 months and I'll go "aaah fuck it" and never get to play it. :(
Stuff is what it is. 360/PS3 games don't hold a candle to how they could look on a high end PC.
