I have a Wii and I like swords. What should I get?
 

Ok I got a Wii and holy [censored] does it kick ass etc.

I like games where I run around with a sword and kill [censored]. Lots and lots of [censored]. Like, endurance mode on Dynasty Warriors 3 for PS2 was my piece of heaven for a good year. More killing is good. Plot or challenge optional.

What games should I get to satisfy my urge to run around whacking [censored]?

This has got to be an option.

Dont you spend the majority of time in Zelda solving weak ass puzzles?

Re: I have a Wii and I like swords. What should I get?
 

Zelda's good and all, but the sword fighting consists mostly of shaking both controllers randomnly. I hear Red Steel has sword fighting and shooting but isn't much cop.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

I thought that link's sword attacks were executed by pushing buttons?

The type of attack will change depending on what button you are pressing, but my personal favorite is done by 'shaking' the nunchuk.

I think you guys will have a lot more fun and consistency if, instead of "shaking" the nunchuck, you swipe it to one side. That's enough of a movement for it to perform the spin attack, it's much less frustrating (because it registers quicker and more definitively than shaking does if you're not shaking far out enough), and it will probably make you less tense, too.

I wil try that when I get home. Thanks.

I can't remember off the top of my head exactly, but if just swiping to one side doesn't work, just swipe back right away. But if I remember right, swiping to one side does work if you just swipe a reasonable distance (half a foot ish?).

Are there any sword games other than Zelda or Red Steel?

Re: I have a Wii and I like swords. What should I get?
 

Not yet. There seems to be a game called No More Heroes that should come out at some undisclosed time next year that's similar, and hopefully will be better than RS.

I have high hopes for No More Heroes. Has the potential to be huge if it is done right. Also, Red Steel 2 should be out in late 2007, I think?

The sword fighting in the new Zelda is a lot more complex than any of the previous Zelda games. For one you can use your sword while riding Epona, which is a really cool feature. Also all the special techniques you learn (like the finishing blow thing and the special moves to defeat armored enemies) are really sweet. It's possible to just shake your wiimote but you can also fight more free style by not Z-targeting the enemies. Possible spoiler in white: <font color="white"> If you like swords then Zelda is probably worth it simply for the fencing against the miniboss in the Temple of Time. </font>

Plus the puzzles are all really fun, so not sure why you wouldn't like those.

This is exactly what I was thinking of with my reply. My only complaint is that there isn't WAAAAY more of this in the game. I haven't finished yet, so hoping that there's more yet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
