High Voltages Tournament of Legends is now available for Wii for $29.95. Here’s the PR from Sega.
SAN FRANCISCO (6 July, 2010) – SEGA® of America, Inc., today announced that Tournament of Legends is now available in stores. The Wii exclusive weapon and magic based 3D-fighter features epic battles in fantastic fighting arenas where players will wield mythical blade weapons, launch 40 magic attacks, and dodge giant mythological creatures that protect the battle lairs. In intense one and two-player fights, players master a range of character and weapon based magic attacks; including unleashing, amongst others, a man-eating lion, Jupiter’s Storm, Thor’s Fury and a nest of venomous snakes. No other Wii weapon fighting game offers this much variety and challenge. Tournament of Legends is available for $29.95 (MSRP).
Here’s footage of Jupiter and Kara in action on Tournament of Legends from High Voltage.
Info about the characters is after the break.
Conduit 2 is definitely looking like its going to make big improvements over the original and this footage of High Voltage’s latest shows off the online play in action.
The future is looking good for Wii shooters with this and Goldeneye coming later this year.
This year High Voltage have at least three games to show off – Conduit 2, The Grinder and Tournament of Legends.
We’re really looking forward to this year’s E3! We’ll be showing off our upcoming games: Conduit 2, Tournament of Legends, and our biggest game to date, The Grinder.
Last year’s launch of The Conduit demonstrated a solid foundation of technical ability and core gameplay. Wanting to do more, we started work on Conduit 2! We listened to the fans, the media, and the gaming community, and used that knowledge to help improve the entire experience. This sequel provides improved pacing and storyline, a rich cooperative mode, more customization options, and the much desired feature of local multiplayer. We’ll be featuring competitive multiplayer at SEGA’s booth South Hall #2023.
We’re also launching a brand spanking new franchise this year that we are very proud of, Tournament of Legends. Just like Conduit 2, Tournament of Legends uses our own proprietary Quantum 3 technology to bring gamers the best looking pick-up-and-play fighting game on the Nintendo Wii. Complete with fun and unique characters, tons of enchantments, lots of weapons that any combatant can use, and the most robust two-handed combat on the Wii. All at a penny-pinching price of $29.99 available July 6th. Come check it out at SEGA’s booth!
This is great news and I hope will make Conduit 2 the shooter every Wii owner is dreaming of!
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (10th June, 2010) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Conduit 2™, the latest collaboration with High Voltage Software, will support Wii MotionPlus™ enabling precision control and better tracking. The Conduit series is famed for its detailed control system allowing players to customise and configure their controls, including look sensitivity, turning speed, the dead zone and much more. Conduit 2 will use Wii MotionPlus to create the most responsive control system ever, as well as improved edge tracking and transitions to pointer control.
“Wii MotionPlus is something that the fans have been asking for since it was announced – we looked at it for the original game, took a look at its implementation in other titles, and ultimately felt that we could add to the experience in Conduit 2 by supporting it.” explains Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer of High Voltage Software.“It’s by no means required – gamers will have a great experience without it – but it does offer a level of extra control and adds value to those with the accessory.”
Conduit 2 will be playable at SEGA’s booth (#2023) at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo and will be released exclusively for the Wii™ system from Nintendo in Fall 2010.
Fight!
These are the worlds first ever screenshots of “The Conduit 2” from High Voltage and were scanned from the latest issue of Nintendo Power which explains their low quality.
Th first game was ok, but I have total confidence that High Voltage have taken on board what was wrong with the original and are making amends with this one. Just like Ubisoft recently did with “Red Steel 2“.
Hopefully we’ll have some high-res screens for you soon, but for now check the rest after the break.
After High Voltage announced that “The Grinder” would also be released on other consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360 and would also see a change in direction from first person shooter to third person, the developers went very quiet regarding the Wii Grinder which lead many to assume that the game had been canned.
Luckily we now know that that is untrue thanks to High Voltage’s CCO, Eric Nofsinger:
“The expansion of Grinder to 360 and PS3 and its subsequent change in gameplay and perspective has been somewhat misinterpreted as a universal change across all platforms. We still genuinely love the Wii and would ideally like to see a publishing partner pick up both a FPS Wii version and a third-person action version specific to the 360 and PS3. We have invested more than year into the Wii; the game is extremely fun, and frankly, we wouldn’t want to see that work ‘thrown away’. But when we decided to add the 360 and PS3 platforms it didn’t seem to make much sense to jump on the rainbow chasing treadmill of trying to do the same game for such dissimilar consoles and end up short changing one or the other.”
