Honestly, I'm not surprised that no one in here is talking about this. It wasn't shown at the conference, and GameSpot's show floor footage seems to be neglecting a lot of titles. I actually found out about it by stumbling around on Nintendo's own E3 site. You can find a trailer here.
According to, ahem, IGN:
"Gameplay appears to be open-world, where you'll traverse lush jungles, glowing forests, climb sheer walls, and encounter the crumbling remains of a conquered people. It looks nicely textured and details pop, animating at what looks like a smooth 30 fps.
Players will pick up two partners in their travels, and while combat initially looks turn-based, we saw all three party members attacking simultaneously. Transitions into combat are completely seamless; characters approach enemies, draw weapons, and it's on. One scene showed your team (wielding much smaller edged weaponry) surrounding a lizard-man enemy, who didn't make much of a dent in their lifebars before it was downed. A much larger lizard-man (a good twenty feet tall) and giant mutant crab monster probably fared better."
The video certainly had me intrigued. It might turn out to be completely crap, but at least it's an original IP and an RPG to boot. Not too many of them on the Wii.
