The release date coincides with Nintendo's previously announced launch date for its WiiWare downloadable game platform. Other studios currently developing software for the platform include Nintendo, Frontier Developments and Telltale Games.

The simulation RPG hybrid—which tasks players to excel at both city-building and traditional quests—was previously slated for a March release window in Japan. Square Enix was reached for confirmation of the price and release date, but has not responded as of this writing.
