Red Steel 2 in development for months, uses MotionPlus

“Red Steel 2 has been in development for many months now, and this new device will help us be even more precise in what we do with the product. The Red Steel brand is strong - I think we released it on year one, and that people understood that it was a first try on new technology, technology that wasn’t completely finished. And our game tried to grab the best out of it, and was a bit rushed to be sure to offer something in year one to Wii consumers. So Red Steel is a brand, and as with every brand we have, we now have to reach the top quality possible. What was missing was the preciseness of the sabre - and with this new device I think it will change the experience.” - Alain Corre, Ubisoft’s executive director

Mr. Corre also talks about more Wii games to be announced soon…

“A lot of games are made in less than a year, but they’re not great products and they’re not selling at all. So it takes some time to develop good games. This year we’re coming with Shaun White, which we’ve developed over 18 months, and the same for Rayman 3. I think these two games can be in the top ten of the Wii charts at Christmas again, and there will also be new Wii games announced soon - more games dedicated to capturing this new audience.”
