Square Enix is releasing a brand new version of Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon (first seen on Playstation) for Nintendo Wii. Watch the first trailer, now!
In the trailer that Square Enix requested that IGN not videotape or photograph, they could see that the game will feature a similar art style to that of the recently released Chocobo Tales on the Nintendo DS. Of course, the Wii game looks far superior with its sharper 3D engine. Gameplay will feature the same random dungeon, turn-based battles that the original brought to the PlayStation ten years ago, in a bigger, bolder production for Wii gamers. The adventure follows Chocobo on a quest to recover memories lost by villagers by a mysterious force, and the game footage showed these "memories" personified as shiny sparkly objects that will be collected throughout the gameplay.
