Square Enix’s New Wii Title

Square Enix is officially in the works for bringing a new title to the Wii. Any Final Fantasy fanboys can go ahead and stop drooling as this is a whole different series altogether. Soul Eater: Monotone Princess, is the name of title that SE is currently working on.

Soul Eater, for those not caught up on Japanese manga, is a serial in the Monthly Shonen Gangan. The manga has become so popular, that a new anime series is in the works along with the Wii title. The basic synopsis of Soul Eater, is that it’s about three students who are in a pseudo-assasin academy. Here they are given assignments, for collecting souls of evil people around the world, and a witch. Their weapons, also have human personifications, and go to class and learn as well. Each student is trying to help their weapon partner achieve “death-scythe” status, so they can be wielded by Shinigami. Who just happens to be a death deity in the Japanese culture.

Here are a couple of screens from the upcoming title (no official release date yet):
