Award Winning Composer Creates Gun-Slinging, Sword-Swinging Soundtrack for Ubisoft’s Action Fighting Video Game on Nintendo WiiTM
New York, March 17, 2010 – Renowned composer Tom Salta has written and produced an original musical score for Red Steel™ 2, Ubisoft’s new first-person action title developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™ and designed with full Wii MotionPlus™ integration. In Red Steel 2, the player becomes a swordsman who finds himself in a remote mixed metropolis in the middle of the American desert, where Eastern and Western cultures collide. To reflect this adventurous new setting in Red Steel 2, Salta composed an action-packed ‘Wild West’ guitar-driven score blended with evocative Asian music influences. Developed by Ubisoft Paris, Red Steel 2 is scheduled for release on March 23rd, 2010.
“Tom Salta is an extremely versatile composer and delivers a unique and dynamic soundtrack for Red Steel 2,” said Isabelle Ballet, music supervisor for Red Steel 2. “He has crafted various music styles including mixing blues guitars with traditional Asian instruments to produce an energetic, hybrid score that motivates and immerses players in the action. We can’t wait to share this experience with everyone!”

Interview with Shin’en

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Features, Wii | 9 Comments

You may not be aware of the fact that Shin’en has created games exclusively for Nintendo platforms since the company started in 1999. They’ve worked on titles for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, and most recently WiiWare. Art of Balance was released on the Wii Shop Channel just a few weeks ago, but the company is continuing to work on other downloadable titles for the service. One such project is Jett Rocket, which looks very promising. Shin’en CEO/Jett Rocket director Manfred Linzner was able to answer a few questions about the game for us, as well as a few other things about Shin’en in a recent interview.

Nintendo Everything: In a few sentences, can you please describe the style of gameplay in Jett Rocket?

Manfred Linzner: “3D Jump’n’Run” desribes JR’s gameplay best. You know, free exploration, no invisible walls, free camera control. You have a great amount of moves and you can interact with many vehicles and machines. One of the coolest things JR can do is to fly to higher grounds with his Jet Pack.
