Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
It looks like the Nintendo MotionPlus is getting some third party developer love. First SEGA announced Virtua Tennis 2009 will feature support for the Wii-Mote accuracy enhancer, now Ubisoft have unsheathed their plans.
Red Steel was a launch title for the Wii back in 2007. Being predominantly a sword fighting show-case for the Wii’s motion controller, it lacked the accuracy to really enthral an audience.
With a couple of years behind them, and the promise of the Wii MotionPlus device ahead, Ubisoft have released details for the Red Steel sequel.
Today Ubisoft® announced Red Steel®2, exclusively on Wii™ system from Nintendo. Red Steel remains one of the most successful Wii titles and the only brand created specifically for the launch of the platform. Red Steel 2 is being developed by Ubisoft Paris and will be available for Christmas 2009.
Red Steel 2 returns with an artistic style and flair created just for Wii. Set in a desert-bound, high-tech metropolis, Red Steel 2 is a revolution in the action-fighting genre, taking full advantage of the capabilities of the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. Your movements are faithfully replicated on-screen, putting the emphasis on swinging, shooting and fun! With the ability of the Wii MotionPlus to sense the strength of a swing, you will literally be able to make an impact on your adversaries through power and precision.
“Red Steel was a unique opportunity for Ubisoft to work in tandem with Nintendo to create a title exclusively for the launch of the Wii console," said John Parkes, EMEA marketing director at Ubisoft. "Red Steel 2 is another milestone for the company as it is the first Ubisoft title with full Wii MotionPlus integration.”
Just as Red Steel broke ground as the only third-party brand created for the launch of the Wii, Red Steel 2 will be the must-have game for Christmas 2009 for those who wish to stretch their own capacities and fully experience a game that was built from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus.
Looks like the MotionPlus will be a must for this game, so fans of Wii sword slinging should start saving now. More info will be available at the official Red Steel 2 site here .
