The Wii exclusive weapon and magic based 3D-fight game Tournament of Legends features epic battles in fantastic fighting arenas where they will wield mythical blade weapons, launch 40 magic attacks, and dodge giant mythological creatures that protect the battle lairs. In intense one and two-player fights, players master a range of character and weapon based magic attacks; including unleashing, amongst others, a man-eating lion, Jupiter’s Storm, Thor’s Fury and a nest of venomous snakes.

The new trailer (see it below) shows off the cinematic effects and graphics fueled by the High Voltage Software Quantum 3 engine, designed and optimized for Wii. Large, 3D mythological fighters move fluidly. Fighting arenas, characters, and magical attacks are polished by advanced real-time lighting, blended animation, cinematic color curves, and more.

Tournament of Legends hits shelves on July 6, 2010 for $29.95 (MSRP).

“What I’ll be doing 10 years from now, I have no idea. All I can say is that I like being a snowball. Year after year I like to keep piling up ideas and know-how and experiences. One thing I’m sure I’d like to be working on is our efforts to make games accessible for everybody, so that every single household can take for granted that there is a game console in their house.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

It’s really tough to imagine Miyamoto ever retiring since he’s been with Nintendo so long. This goes without saying, but he is truly one of the most influential members of the video game industry. I hope that in ten years, Miyamoto is still working on Nintendo franchises and hardware.
