Just how impressive are the graphics in the upcoming Wii title Dead Space: Extraction? Well, they’re apparently so striking that Nintendo is complementing the development team. Visceral’s general manager, Glen Schofield, says that Nintendo told the company that Extraction is one of the top contenders for the best graphics on the system.

“Nintendo has told us that if it’s not the top, it’s one of one of the top five best-looking games on the Wii.”

– 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
