– Cannot cheat the game
– Can’t just sit down, waggle Wiimote with short/sharp motions
– When you quickly waggle the Wiimote, that will translate to a quick slice in-game
– Need to actually try to deal out big damage
– Sword also used for defense (thus better than a gun during combat)
– There will be instances where you will have to deal with multiple enemies
– Still use B button + pointer to shoot
– Reconfirmed that you can pull off sword + gun combos
– Passing through near-future desert town (Aldera)
– Architect is a mix of East and West
– Hero is mysterious at the beginning
– Hero is a take on Clint Eastwood character in the Dollars movies
– Nameless, faceless, friendless at the start
– Pretty powerful from the beginning of the game
– There will be plenty of variety in missions
– Need greater thought/skill against bosses
– Objectives connected to the hero
– Different levels of blocking as you progress

Motion Controls Send Classic Character Jumping, Swinging, Soaring and Swimming

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Legendary video game character Donkey Kong™ is on a quest to become king of the jungle, and he needs some help. Today’s launch of the New Play Control!

Players control Donkey Kong’s running, jumping and banana grabbing by using the traditional control stick and buttons, while motion controls add a realistic feeling to actions like grabbing vines and boxing.

“Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s oldest and most beloved characters,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “New Play Control!

“Spyborgs is targeting gamers that are looking for a great, true action game, a ‘game’ on the Wii. Not a mini-game collection, not a bad port, but a game that pushes Wii motion, a game that pushes the graphic capabilities of the Wii, a game that takes itself seriously. This is a real game…Made to take advantage of what the Wii can do and deliver what everyone really wants to see on that platform.” – Daryl Allison, Senior Producer over at Capcom

I’ve been pretty satisfied with what we’ve seen of Spyborgs thus far. It’s great to know that the developers are taking their project seriously and are very dedicated in providing Wii owners with a more hardcore effort.
