I couldn't believe my eyes but this is the type of game that would fit the Wii instead of a classic beat em up, because the control mechanism of mortal combat turned out to be a disaster

woo looks wicked but i dont know if it is good thing or a bad thing

yawn... no thanks that looked really in the wrong direction for soul calibur

Yeah that would be cool as an rpg.

Eh, all the sort of rpg campaign dealies in soul calibur games sucked. I dunno if it has enough of a story to pull it off aside from "Look at all these people with great hair and crazy weapons fight for this pretty sword. But wait, theres a twist! Teh sword is evil! But guess what! Theres another sword that isn't evil! Hurraaaaaay! Also tey have backstories!" Looks good though besides.

I personally think this game looks pretty good, and the combo system isn't messed up like mortal combat (from what I gather from the trailer that is...)
I like the fact that they picked the characters with the best strories, especially Seigfreid (as I would love to use him in a final showdown against nightmare)

I think its quite brave of namco to go in a different direction with the franchise, as they could've just made a soul caliber 3 with motion controls (like Tenchaichi 2 and Mortal Combat)

This is on my wish list for sure!

i guess the Wii remote is incapable of tracking real-time motion then.

another wasted opportunity.

when Wii games move from digital base actions to actual representations of movement i might become interested. this is poor
