XSEED Games releases Solatorobo: Red the Hunter for Nintendo DS in North America. Developed by CyberConnect2, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter is described as a spiritual successor to the beloved PlayStation RPG title, Tail Concerto. The first run of Solatorobo: Red the Hunter comes with a special bonus soundtrack CD. Translated as "Sky and Robot" from Japanese, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter takes place high in the clouds of the Shepherd Republic, a sea of floating islands in the sky inhabited by two races resembling bipedal dogs and cats. In their everyday lives, these creatures have come to use Robos, or mounted robot mechs, for all varieties of tasks.

The game follows the story of Red Savarin, a dog-like adventurer for hire, who is off on his latest mission to acquire some sensitive files for a client. Soon after Red boards the airship holding the files, things take a turn for the worst, and when Red accidentally touches a mystical medallion he comes across, a massive monster rises from the sea and bats the airship from the sky. Barely escaping with an unconscious passenger he comes across while making his getaway, Red quickly learns he is the sole hero who can save the world.

Solatorobo: Red the Hunter is rated E10+ by the ESRB and is available for the Nintendo DS at an MSRP $34.99. For more information check out www.solatorobo.com .
