Namco’s Wii exclusive Fragile has been teasing us with its post apocalyptic semblance and atmospheric feel since it was announced years ago. To exacerbate the pain, Namco also said it had no plans of bringing it to the US.
Enter publisher XSEED, who gained American favor by brining Namco’s Retro Game Challenge (once a Japan exclusive) to US shores. Now they’re teaming up with Namco again to give America a localized version of Fragile, dubbed Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.
For those unfamiliar with the game, it takes place in a post-human society where the protagonist is the (seemingly) last human alive, armed only with a flashlight.

XSEED plans to give the game a full English voice track, and says it is will ship the game by the 2009 American holiday season.

(NOTE: This was a contribution to a feature that ran @NintendoLife about the 25th Anniversary of the NES. You should go read it.) The first video game I ever saw was Kung-Fu for the NES. My older sister’s friend down the street had just gotten the system, so she kindly escorted me down to their [...]
