I hate that such opportunity of stories are just here, ready to be animated. And yet, nothing moves. And this game will just be here, in a part of my memories, as untapped opportunity.
I just had the honor of playing the game and i was quite suprised to actually see this video on my DS after the prologue. I didn't even know it had such possibilitys.
@NintenG0D There are two fully animated sequences like this in the game, this is the first one. There is another. The remaining cutscenes use a different engine to the rest of the game, with high quality models that emulate the animated style very nicely, so while not fully animated like this, they so still look extremely nice.
I just got this used with the soundtrack included yesterday. I have been blown away by this game, I did not expect it to be all that great...I was wrong
@TheRealSneakers - It's already up for preorder on Amazon, and should be up for preorder at other retailers as well very soon. Don't know what we'll be doing LE-wise for this game -- those are options yet to be explored. I guess just keep watching out for news. (:
@Tonyippee - Yeah, it was announced for the UK long before it was announced for North America, in fact. I think it's actually being released in Europe next week!
Finally! I never thought it would make it West, but it did! :D I bought the Japanese standard, Collector's Edition and British version, but will surely get the US version as well for its collectible value. Thanks for bringing this over, Xseed. Cyberconnect2 is awesome, Tail Concerto and Solatorobo are their masterpieces. Now, if only we had more news on Strelka Stories....
@NintenG0D Namco is only publishing it and only in Japan, Xseed is taking care of the american release. That said the same developer (CyberConnect2) is incharge, they made Tail Concerto for the PS1 and it does have anime cutscenes.
@Tonyippee - Well, it's not actually XSEED publishing it in Europe -- it's Nintendo. So you can still import from the U.S. if you want to support us. ;)
Awesome, awesome, awesome game. This game makes me care about robots again. I absolutely love the ambiance of the airships; reminds me of early 20th century Europe (what little I know of it). Lawn darts coming over the briny! This game looks like it has so much character that it knows what video games are supposed to be about: Expression.
This isn't just a spiritual sequel, this is a DIRECT sequel to the cult PSone hit Tail Concerto. Yes, Waffle, Alicia and the Black Cats Gang are in it, and the Prairie Kingdom is in the game world, though sadly not playable. This is why the anthro designs, though a certain character may not be as anthro as they appear... This is also done by Cyber Connect 2, makers of dotHack, and it's a really well done game. The cinemas for a DS game are incredible.
No it's still a spiritual sequel. For it to be a direct sequel it would have actually involve waffle as a main character or continuation of his story. Waffle and the rest are just cameo apperances
@willabusta alot actualy. they use a combination of sprites and a odd but great 3d style that makes it look like the animation during some scenes, from what I seen thus far.
Cyberhouse2 had made a right choice on choosing Namco Bandai, Namco and Bandai makes ALOT of really GREAT detailed stuff. I mean, the Gundam series made by Bandai had became succesful by games and Tv shows. Namco in the other hand... still lacks the Commercials but makes really GREAT games! I mean, why would people disagree with one of Namco's cutest and spotlight videogame character Klonoa? Wanna know how detailed they made Klonoa 2? THEY MADE AN EXPLOSIVE CITY WITH CARS MOVING AND WHATNOT!
This game was brilliant. I really enjoyed playing through it. I loved the story, it all fit together nicely. Just a couple of questions to those who have played it. SPOILERS~ Why was Baion awakened? When the Juno said it wasn't time for project CODA? Who exactly are the Juno? and where did the technology originate? Why did Merveille help make the hybrids? what purpose did she believe they would serve if she wasn't trying to reset the earth with Baion? Just curious :3.
This is one of the best handheld RPGS, its a shame this game has gone as a limited underated gem. Reminds me of skies of arcadia, Final Fight and I love furries or robots or monsters etc blowing the crap out of other stuff I love it.
@adeadlyn3rotoxin11 It's a sequel of sorts to that game. It's set in the same universe and some characters make a reappearence, including Waffle, Alicia, Stare, Flare, princess Terria and Cyan.
It's a damn good DS game. But I know what you're saying... This would be amazing on a 3DS. The DS has some graphical limitations, but it's still enjoying to look at for the most part.
The amount of content and effort put into this amazes me! Finally a true furry game! ............That i can play on vacation! (just waiting on the gamestop preorder)>.
This game is legendary action jrpg game maybe come for multiplatform...Xseed games are amazing. I want play this game.But I haven't nintendo ds Please this game remake
.Hack hinted towards an anime version IF the sales and reviews of the game reflect positively, And judging by all the 8.5 out of ten scores this game is getting it might just happen =D
Hmm. If that's how you feel, oh well. Personally, I think you're judging it the wrong way. No matter how you look at it, graphics don't make a game. I'm sure even you can agree that something like Super Mario world is a blast to play, and that's old 16-bit stuff. And yeah I think everyone here would like to see a Solatorobo anime, or something like that.
If there was ever a Solatorobo anime I'd watch it
Funfact: there was an idea to make an anime adaptation but it was cancelled
@@VoxTheUkrainianComrade Not such a "fun" fact actually :(
Thank you Xseed for bringing this game :) I'll always support all the AMAZING games you bring, I know it's a big effort so thank you :)
I hate that such opportunity of stories are just here, ready to be animated.
And yet, nothing moves. And this game will just be here, in a part of my memories, as untapped opportunity.
I feel for ya XD
Solatorobo the animation please.
I just had the honor of playing the game and i was quite suprised to actually see this video on my DS after the prologue. I didn't even know it had such possibilitys.
I am one of the lucky few who got to experience this game... it’s to bad it’s so expensive now and days, more people should play it
Man i love this game, the story, character develpment, everything about it is pure epic-ness.
This reminds me of how deep i got into the story and just felt sorry for all the characters. I love this game.
God I wish this game wasn't so gosh dang expensive ;w;
Get an emulator then
@@turnypz4058 I have one ya dork, I still want the physical ver tho :
XSeed never ceases to amaze me with their localizations. Keep up the great work!
I love this song for the begining
You mean And Then, To Cuda? Yeah I agree
This game is so fucking awesome >.
this animation was done by madhouse (hajime no ippo, HxH2011 ppl) and this awesome song reminds of something straight from hayao miyazaki's films
Fucking
Universally
Really
Respectful
Yo
Awesome trailer, awesome theme, awesome characters, awesome gameplay...
Now all we need now is the entire anime version! All 56 episodes!
@NintenG0D There are two fully animated sequences like this in the game, this is the first one. There is another.

For those of you who didnt know. Reds japanese voice actor is the same voice actor that played Simon in Gurren Lagann!
they need to make an anime series out of this. I would LOVE IT!
This game is worth a solid try because of its intressing story and chracters they fit well and have a personality all their own
@Tonyippee - Yeah, it was announced for the UK long before it was announced for North America, in fact. I think it's actually being released in Europe next week!

They really need to make an anime of this, it would be epic.
@Chronsky7 yeah, with hundreds of episodes, and dozens of movies, OVAs, etc.
Awesome, awesome, awesome game. This game makes me care about robots again. I absolutely love the ambiance of the airships; reminds me of early 20th century Europe (what little I know of it). Lawn darts coming over the briny! This game looks like it has so much character that it knows what video games are supposed to be about: Expression.
Man, this game is awesome! If they don't make an anime of this, I WILL... Get Madhouse to do it myself.
Looks great, thanks for giving us the oppurtunity to play this in English :)
the opening is pretty fucking cool. And the game is quite nice so far :) loving the character design
Wow! I hope this becomes a show too! It looks like Lapuda, Castle in the Sky meets Digimon & The World.
Love the opening theme! Thank you XSEED, for allowing me to not need to import this from Europe.
This isn't just a spiritual sequel, this is a DIRECT sequel to the cult PSone hit Tail Concerto. Yes, Waffle, Alicia and the Black Cats Gang are in it, and the Prairie Kingdom is in the game world, though sadly not playable. This is why the anthro designs, though a certain character may not be as anthro as they appear...
This is also done by Cyber Connect 2, makers of dotHack, and it's a really well done game. The cinemas for a DS game are incredible.
Another day, another refreshingly original game from Namco Bandai.
Looks sweet. Is there any relation to tail concerto?
This look more like a modern Miasaki movie. I would love this to be a movie.
Yeah I think that makes sense ty :P. Maybe we will learn more when that supposed sequel eventually comes around.
finished playing this game today. I wanna play it all over again, it's fucking AWESOME
They're all so FREAKING CUTE!!!!
Pre-ordered!!
O MELHOR JOGO DE DS 🇧🇷
holy hell it looks like a follow up to Tail Concerto!
I like how red devolves back into a human.
i just love it , the music is lovely . the game kinda reminds me of castle in the sky
Remaster when?
No it's still a spiritual sequel. For it to be a direct sequel it would have actually involve waffle as a main character or continuation of his story. Waffle and the rest are just cameo apperances
I really want this game. Lol, I'm one of those people that gets in to really obscure stuff.
Aye, same!
It sucks that this game is REALLY hard to find.
Kingpinn02 Yea, that's the problem with most obscure games nowadays.
Questklonoa Yeah. I might just have to important a European copy, though I really want a North American version since it adds extra quests.
Reminds of a cross between Chrono Trigger and Thundercats. I'm picking up my copy tomorrow.
I am SOOOO getting this
@willabusta alot actualy. they use a combination of sprites and a odd but great 3d style that makes it look like the animation during some scenes, from what I seen thus far.
@CrazyCheeseMagee The Tail Concerto characters all make appearances.
THIS NEEDS TO BECOME AN ANIME NOW GOD DAMIT!
@storino03 - Yep, it's a sequel. Same team, too -- they've been pushing this game SINCE Tail Concerto.
Cyberhouse2 had made a right choice on choosing Namco Bandai, Namco and Bandai makes ALOT of really GREAT detailed stuff. I mean, the Gundam series made by Bandai had became succesful by games and Tv shows.
Namco in the other hand... still lacks the Commercials but makes really GREAT games! I mean, why would people disagree with one of Namco's cutest and spotlight videogame character Klonoa? Wanna know how detailed they made Klonoa 2? THEY MADE AN EXPLOSIVE CITY WITH CARS MOVING AND WHATNOT!
I really want to see Red in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game.
This game looks amazing, I just hope they don't modify the audio and mantain the japaneses voices!!
Best action DS game EVER.
@15taki It is a game with anime cutscenes
This game was brilliant. I really enjoyed playing through it.
I loved the story, it all fit together nicely. Just a couple of questions to those who have played it.
SPOILERS~
Why was Baion awakened? When the Juno said it wasn't time for project CODA?
Who exactly are the Juno? and where did the technology originate?
Why did Merveille help make the hybrids? what purpose did she believe they would serve if she wasn't trying to reset the earth with Baion?
Just curious :3.
Another great farewell song for a great system. Definately getting this to tide me until we start getting some quality original fare for the 3DS.
Let's just wait 'til they hear this and we get a sequel
thes was the most awesome intro ever
You never got that teddy-bear you wanted as a child, did you? ;3
@BotZtap
I know. That's why. Cuz it'd be *clenchs fists and drolls* Fucking, beautiful.
This is one of the best handheld RPGS, its a shame this game has gone as a limited underated gem.
Reminds me of skies of arcadia, Final Fight and I love furries or robots or monsters etc blowing the crap out of other stuff I love it.
WHY IS THIS NOT AN ANIME?!!!! at least a manga or something.....
i cry everytime i hear that song :,D
@prontikkor - It is.
So was this a TV show or is it or like did they every do a show?
Best game i ever played i recomend playing it ^^
This music is absolutely enchanting, I would love to know what it is.
Playing the game right now
what is song called
The music alone makes me immediately go to .hack... and makes me want to play this more!
@adeadlyn3rotoxin11 It's a sequel of sorts to that game. It's set in the same universe and some characters make a reappearence, including Waffle, Alicia, Stare, Flare, princess Terria and Cyan.
I want to see the movie and anime of this now
Solatorobo is 2011 DS Game of the Year!! 8D
It's a damn good DS game. But I know what you're saying... This would be amazing on a 3DS. The DS has some graphical limitations, but it's still enjoying to look at for the most part.
TAIL CONCERTO? Like, Tail Concerto the PS1 Game that I played as a Japanese demo?! SOLD!
i luve this song!! i just now today bought this game!!! love it!!!!! ^^
@ZaffireWolf No matter what the media might lead you to think, we did not, in fact, have airships here in Europe in the early 20th century. :P
Its funny how they add spoilers to the first opening. *Cough cough*. You know.
lol
Its a pretty good game real cheap now i got mine for like 20 brand new with ost.
Holy Crap that looks awesome!
0:14 Poor Chocolat, is your face stuck in that expression?
Fun fact: This was animated by the same guys who animated Death Note :D
(MadHouse)
The amount of content and effort put into this amazes me! Finally a true furry game! ............That i can play on vacation! (just waiting on the gamestop preorder)>.

Wait... is there a anime for Solatorobo?! I NEED IT.

This game is legendary action jrpg game maybe come for multiplatform...Xseed games are amazing. I want play this game.But I haven't nintendo ds

.Hack hinted towards an anime version IF the sales and reviews of the game reflect positively, And judging by all the 8.5 out of ten scores this game is getting it might just happen =D

@crazyfooInc don't worry, i got the european version
@Chronsky7 Same here HELL YEAH!
Be pretty awesome if they turned this into an actual Anime. ;)
