In today's Wii RPG preview, let's look at another game that hits the shelves in the next few weeks. Atlus, known for quirky ports of Japanese titles, strikes again with Baroque, due to hit the Wii and PS2 on March 12th.

Baroque, as the name suggests, has a dark gothic look to it, and its plot and character designs all seem rather scary! Not a great thing for this blogger, as I eschew scary movies and all scary games save for the superb resident evillinks series.

However, Baroque has some truly interesting features, like automatic dungeon generation. Apparently the dungeons of Baroque reconfigure themselves every time, creating a new space. The game also changes every time you die- characters even seem to acknowledge it.

I know some people get a little cheesed off at PS2 games being ported over to Wii, but I don't mind a bit when it is a new release, and when the game covers a genre that is poorly represented on the system right now. Honestly, I might be more apt to try something that is "SUPER HAPPY CHEERFUL FUN!!!" like Opoona, but I know most male gamers don't think like I do (or a lot of like minded female gamers for that matter), so Baroque could be a "win" for RPG starved gamers on Wii.
