Wow.

IGN just posted some screenshots for an upcoming game, Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon from Namco Bandai. This RPG looks sweet. But that is WeKnowWii.com’s opinion of course.

IGN said, regarding the game:

An RPG from Japanese combo-publisher Namco Bandai. Fragile takes place in the near future, in a world that has lost its population. You play as Seto, a young boy who wanders around, 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.

The Wiimote is used as an aid in exploration. Seto uses a flashlight to light up his surroundings. You get to use the Wiimote to directly point the flashlight in whatever direction you like. Seto also has a metal detector. Once again, the Wiimote is used to directly operate this device. In addition to exploration, Seto has to deal with ghosts who appear in the ruins. We’re not sure how he fights these foes, but it seems that a stick of some form is involved.

We are seriously looking forward to the release of this game, Namco Bandai. Japan will see the first of this some time in 2008.
