Solatorobo may not be a name that trips off the tongue, but its lineage more than makes up for its cumbersome title: For all intents and purposes, it's the sequel to a slightly obscure PS1 adventure called Tail Concerto, which in turn was heavily inspired by the Mega Man Legends games. CyberConnect2 has been teasing a Tail Concerto sequel for years but reportedly has found difficulty gaining publisher support for the venture.
Siliconera: We haven’t seen the end of the Tail Concerto and Solatorobo universe, says CyberConnect 2 CEO, Hiroshi Matsuyama.
DHGF: With the release of the 3DS, the DS’s releases are dwindling, and Solatorobo represents one of the last notable games to be released on the system. It’s also probably one of the only games ever to have 100 commercials made for it in a bid to break a world record (or at all, really). Some of them give facts about the world ranging from population demographics to the type of shoes the denizens wear and even how toilets are set up on airships. They all serve to provide the game with some publicity, even if some like this were less than helpful in providing any information about the game itself.
Eric Albuen: "Solatorobo is definitely an oddball of a game to decipher. If you picked the box up at a game store and looked right at it, there are probably a couple things that go through your mind: “This game has furries.” “Aw sweet, it comes with a soundtrack.” “How in the world do you even pronounce this title?”
Most that we’ve mentioned this game to seemed to be turned off by that whole furry thing, and decided to just dismiss the game. StarFox had a cast of similarly anthropomorphic animals, though, and that seemed to go over pretty well, don’t you think?"
It looks interesting to me.
