Wii Zorro to leave mark on GDC News

Wii News by Tom Bramwell

16 February, 2007

Pronto Games' Destiny of Zorro title for Wii is due out later this year, with publisher 505 Games telling Eurogamer today that "all the gameplay stuff will be announced at GDC" at the start of March.

What we do know about the game Zorro Productions hinted at a couple of weeks ago is how it will look, and how it will take advantage of the Wii controller. According to a spokesperson, who admitted certain details still had to be nailed down, it's "a traditional third-person action game, with cut-to sections where you use the Wii remote to execute certain moves". These will include whipping, slicing and of course the famous Z slash.

The game forms part of a big push by Zorro Productions, with a new film and even a musical in store (and yes, it is a shame we don't get to cover the latter), and we're promised a story that builds on other aspects of the Zorro legend, as players confront Calavera and his troops.

Look forward to more on it in a couple of weeks.

If the fencing is done properly, I can see this being really good fun, if it's done anything like the sword fighting in Red Steel then it will be really quite poor...
Please for the love of the Wii get it right!

505 Games publishing? Must be a "first class" title.

"If the fencing is done properly, I can see this being really good fun"

Lol. When I first read that, my mind decided you were talking about fencing as in "barbed wire fence".

I am sat thinking "where is that guy getting his priorities from?".

505 actually have published quite a lot of first class games, and quite a lot of interesting ones to, but... I don't see this being one of either group.
