The host of the game can actually continue the story mode with his friends now there, or you can participate in quests and mini-game challenges for loot and prizes. You'll create your character, use him/her in the main story mode, and then can bring them on over into multiplayer. The game shows obvious similarities to Ring of Fates previously on DS, but you'll instantly find that while the DS one felt very "me too" with multiplayer, this game is all about getting friends together and playing. The fine folks at Square were nice enough to cruise on over to our LA office this week and show off the game in person, giving us a chance to play some local multiplayer across Wii and DS as a team. Whether you pick this baby up on DS or Wii, you'll get the same experience: Lots of multiplayer fun, and the ability to play locally or online with anyone DS or Wii user alike.
Echoes of time wii portable#
Those picking the game up for Nintendo's console won't be blown away by the visuals (though we could stop to make about 100 jokes about how "For a Wii game, the DS port doesn't look that bad!" – we won't do that though) but at the exact same price as the portable rendition, there's some fun to be had for sure. Both the DS and Wii versions of Echoes of Time are hitting on the same day, asking the same price, but allowing DS and Wii owners to party up locally or online a first for the two systems. What if… Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is admittedly an odd game, taking the DS game and emulating it on Wii with functionality of the Wii-mote and buttons in place of the stylus and, well, buttons. But what to do about Wii? The market is there, the flagship title isn't finished yet, and Square had a perfectly good DS engine up and running. On DS, rumors of a Crystal Chronicles game have been floating around since the dawn of the system, but it wasn't until Ring of Fates released last year that Nintendo fans got their second dose of the series, now in portable form.
