– 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

Spyborgs is pushing Wii motion, graphical capabilities
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“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.
