NIS America Launches Ar tonelico for Playstation 2

NIS America’s all-new Role Playing Game will hit stores on February 6, 2007

NIS America, Inc. today announced the new RPG Ar tonelico for the North American market. With innovative features and game mechanics, Ar tonelico retains and exceeds all of the exceptional game quality shown in NIS America titles. Developed and published in Japan by Banpresto Co., Ltd., Ar tonelico combines exceptional game play with content rich interaction features that are unlike anything else you will find in any role playing game. Gamers can not only customize weapons and items, but now design their character’s personalities, skills, and appearance through virtual interaction, much like a sci-fi movie. Also, past events will intersect with future game play as well as the outcome of the game.

“Perhaps, Ar tonelico is the best non-strategy role playing game we’ve ever released. It’s got an inviting battle system that is simple, yet challenging and a touching story with a kinky twist. Also, gamers will be delighted to know that Ar tonelico is entertaining as a role playing game and an interactive sim game.”, says Haru Akenaga, President of NIS America.
