Perhaps you remember the Wii-launch title Red Steel, which looked extremely promising in the run-up to the Wii launch but eventually betrayed all that pre-launch promise and hype.

It was supposed to be the title that would underline the new gameplay experience that the motion-perceptive Wii had in store. But it was dwarfed by other titles – especially Wii Sports – and rightly so, for its gameplay was very frustrating. Now Ubisoft has a sequel of the game in the works.

In the Issue 26 of Official Nintendo Magazine, there is a very terse preview of the sequel. Ubisoft has managed to keep the details of the game a secret but promised that the game will be better in all aspects than the original Red Steel. It doesn’t have a proper name or a specific release date, however, a 2008 release is promised.

I thought that Ubisoft might have retired the game by now but it lives on. Now, hopefully, the original Red Steel’s experience has faded away in the minds of the Wii gamers so that its sequel doesn’t have to battle with any negative predispositions.
