Side-Stories

After the release of Solatorobo, CyberConnect2 would go on to release a series of light novels and some short manga that delved deeper into the game's world. The first of them, chronologically, is "Ragdoll Elegy". The stories would go on to also include small amounts of world building for Mamoru-kun and Tail Concerto.

Gameplay

Music

Solatorobo's music was composed by LieN, Cyberconnect2's in-house composition group. There have been two music releases for Solatorobo. The first being the Perfect Sound Track, which is an 80 track two-disc soundtrack release with an arranged version of the soundtrack, and Solatorobo Soundtrack Selections, a disc comprised of 26 tracks from the arranged tracks that were bundled with the game in its release in North America.

However, two songs were cut from the Perfect Soundtrack that was available in the game. The first being the instrumental version of Re-Coda that plays during the credits of part 1, and the second being the instrumental version of Shooting Star that plays during the side quest "Body Guard".

Credits

Development

After Tail Concerto's release, CyberConnect2 had plans to make a sequel named "Tail Concerto 2". It was to be an upgrade from the original and be released on the PlayStation 2. However, this proposal was rejected by Daisuke Uchiyama, the executive producer of Bandai (Now known as Bandai Namco) due to Tail Concerto's poor sales figures, stating that, "a sequel to a game that did not even sell was ridiculous."[citation needed]

After plans for the original Tail Concerto 2 were cancelled, CyberConnect2 would go to work creating an entirely new Little Tail Bronx game from scratch. It took 10 years of conceptualization and 3 years of development. During that time, CyberConnect2 had proven their worth with other titles such as .hack and Naruto and had gained more reputation ever since.

This new Little Tail Bronx game was still pitched as "Tail Concerto 2" to Bandai. While the project was given the green light, Bandai had requested CyberConnect2 to stop pitching it as "Tail Concerto 2", stating that if it were to be made, it would have to take place in an entirely new world. Thus, the developers started from the ground up and pitched a reworked proposal titled "Solatorobo", which translates to "Robo to sky".

Advertising

Television

On October 21st, 2010, Solatorobo had won the Guinness world record for airing the most TV commercials for a single product with a whopping 100 15-second commercials in Japan.[1] All of the commercials were aired on the same day, which would unfortunately become a detriment to the game's success as no other televised advertising was created outside of setting the record.

Most of these 100 commercials would briefly cover parts of Little Tail Bronx's lore (as of Solatorobo), characters in the game, and locations. A complete Youtube playlist of every ad in HD can be viewed here.


Magazine Coverage

Solatorobo's main form of advertising in the western world was through video game magazine coverage. While slim, a few notable magazines had featured the game as preview articles such as Nintendo Power, N-Gamer[2], and the Official Nintendo Magazine[3]. This was all in the age where magazines were being phased out in favor of online journalism, thus further crippling Solatorobo's success on a global scale.
