Wizard was a RPG in development for the Wii, which was started at SuperVillain Studios (Crash of the Titans, Order Up!) in 2007. The story revolved around heroes who were trying to pursue a mysterious little girl trapped in the mist ravines. Sadly Wizard was cancelled due to a lack of funding in early 2009, but some screens and videos are archived in the gallery below, to preserve its existence.

This SUCKS! This game looked hella promising – a charming, clean art style that plays to the Wii’s strength. A fantasy/adventure game (there’s a noticeable lack of them on the platform).
It clearly was designed with some thought as well – a cinematic camera, again, suits the hardware very well since it lacks an analog stick and cinematic camera-games are easier to play. Hence a broader audience would’ve been able to play this. It would’ve been nice if the combat ended up using the Wii remote to cast a lot of spells, and with a name like Wizard, i wouldn’t have been surprised if it did. With the camera working on it’s own, you could just worry about waving the Wii remote care-free. It could’ve been really fun!
It was looking really, really good. Dangit – frickin’ 800 FPS’s a year get greenlit for release, but something charming like this has an uphill fight. Man, I hate this industry sometimes…

Looks like a mix between Torchlight and Sorcery…not too shabby!
Shame it never saw release like so many others!
