Red Steel 2 director: MotionPlus/Red Steel 2 will give fans something they’ve never seen before
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
When Red Steel 2 was initially confirmed, one of the first details that were known about the game was that it would take advantage of Wii MotionPlus. Obviously the peripheral is capable of adding great accuracy and precision to a title. Speaking with the Official Nintendo Magazine, the Red Steel 2 Creative Director has provided insight in regards to what it’s like working with MotionPlus.
“It’s incredibly satisfying – really exciting. I’ve been working in games for 12 years and this is the first time that I feel we’re going to give the fans something really cool that they’ve never seen before. And I genuinely mean that. It’s not just marketing bullshit – this is something new that you’ve never done before and it’s really fun. It’s a great feeling to be able to say that.”

– Ubisoft on releasing a multiplayer mode through DLC: “That would be cool. The world has changed, and we can do that sort of thing. I certainly think that would be cool. I’d buy it. But we need to be careful bringing out something that people think should be in the main game.”
Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles release date?
Posted on 16 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Gamestop.com’s official listing for the upcoming Wii exclusive on-rails shooter, “Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles” places the pre-order shipping date for the game at February 23rd, 2010.
This comes as a surprise to me, because I was expecting a much sooner release than early 2010. If the information is truly accurate, then regardless of the fact that we will have a set date to look forward to, you can stamp me disappointed.
