San Jose, CA (September 23, 2004) - Namco announced today the release of new in-game movies for Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, an RPG due out for GameCube this November.

From Namco:

Baten Kaitos tells the story of a civilization on the verge of destruction due to a powerful and ancient conspiracy. Players join Kalas and Xelha, two unlikely heroes, as they embark on an uncertain journey in hopes of saving their cherished world. Using more than 1000 “Magnus” cards, an item system that captures the essence of certain objects, weapons, spells for use during combat, healing, solving puzzles and more, players aid the two heroes on their way.

New movies highlight the spectacular and varying environments within the game, the card based battle system and introduce several ferocious monsters players will come face to face with as they make their way through this epic tale.

Breathtaking graphics designed by renowned artist Nakaba Higurashi and a stirring soundtrack composed by Motoi Sakuraba help fully engross players in the mystical nature of the game’s environments – a kingdom in the clouds protected by knights, a city of illusion that shifts between dimensions, a nation of rainbows protected by a magical shield and many others.
