Opoona concept art

Koei‘s PR machine has just released a batch of new character art for the upcoming Wii title Opoona. The game’s got a whole RPG-like vibe going with the whole job class-based license system, and coupled with the character design, looks like it’ll be providing a few hours of fun to Wii owners once it hits.

Interestingly enough, Opoona will be played mostly through the use of the Wii’s nunchuck controller. Koei calls the combat system in Opoona “Active Bombom,” where players will be using the nunchuck to hurl and direct projectile attacks at the enemy. If you’re planning to get this title, better work on your left hand.

Anyway, on to the art. First off, let’s have a look at the game’s principal characters as created by Shintaro Mijima. And yes, the Wii finally has a gunblade-wielding character to call its own. Check out Opoona and his friends below.
