Topic: Swords

Majesco has announced it is publishing a new budget title called "Swords" (I can't link to my source, because it's me, but I'm sure IGN or someone else has also covered it).

Despite the terribly-unoriginal game, the Wii is long, long overdue for a good sword fighting retaail game. Rage of the Gladiator was good for WiiWare, but I've got my fingers crossed for this, because Rage wasn't released in Australia.

Oh, and it is MotionPlus compatible.

So, who else wants a good Sword Fighting sim?

I'll just wait for Zelda.

I think a fencing sim would be fantastic. You know, an actual one.

Zelda's only going to be a small part sword fighting, though.

I would love a game that's all about sword fighting that works well.

A Younger me might be interested, but I think now I'd just settle with Red Steel 2.

What are you fools doing, bringing a sword to a gun fight?!

Please tell me this involves real sword fighting instead of the lame offensive and defensive modes that we've only been subjected to so far. If it does, I'll probably get it eventually unless Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 also has real MotionPlus swordfighting with the lightsabers, although I doubt it due the playable character being a dual wielder.

That looks awful.

You could always use two wii remotes like in Helix.

That could be fun - is it actually confirmed for a PAL release? Majesco are a bit funny about the worldwide thing for some bizarre reason.

Red Steel 2 is such a great game it's a shame that the first game has scared off some people from playing it, to me it's the best motion plus game I have played.

Meh.

Doesn't look that great, but like another poster said...maybe it's meant for a younger crowd to enjoy. Like many others I would rather just wait for Zelda: SS. When I read the title, all I could think of was that SNL sketch that was Celebrity Jeopardy. The category was " "s" words", and Sean Connery says, "Swords!"
