1st Screens of Game Arts' WiiWare Title

Game Arts is renowned for its work on the Grandia RPG series, but is now ready to show off its first WiiWare project. The developer has worked on several entries in the Grandia franchise, but more recently completed work alongside Sora and Nintendo on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii project, as well as creating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up! for Ubisoft, also on Wii. Now, though, the game that was announced on a long list of upcoming WiiWare games way back at Nintendo's 2008 Autumn Conference in Japan (along with the likes of FujiSoft's Wii Theatre Channel, Taito's Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands, plus Karaoke JoySound) has finally had the lid lifted on it.

Originally going by the lengthy name of Kage no Shounen, Hikari no Yousei, which roughly translated as 'Boy of Shadow, Fairy of Light', Game Arts has re-named it the much more succinct 'Shadow Walker'. Whilst no details are known right now, the first screens have been revealed to show a very colourful adventure, with a main character that looks similar to the cel-shaded version of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and a setting that is quite reminiscent to Hudson's Tower of Shadow.
