“Red Steel 2 has been in development for many months now, and this new device [Wii MotionPlus] will help us be even more precise in what we do with the product. The Red Steel brand is strong – I think we released it on year one, and that people understood that it was a first try on new technology, technology that wasn’t completely finished. And our game tried to grab the best out of it, and was a bit rushed to be sure to offer something in year one to Wii consumers. But Red Steel is still selling well – at a lower price of course, but still it’s in the top 30 or 40 in every country on Wii. So Red Steel is a brand, and as with every brand we have, we now have to reach the top quality possible. What was missing was the preciseness of the sabre – and with this new device I think it will change the experience.” – Alain Corre, executive director for Ubisoft

At the end of each news post article, you can find a couple of links that are related to the news post you are currently reading. That way, if you want to read additional information about a particular subject, you won’t have to go searching for related content.
