Dragon Blade: A promising Wii Exclusive nobodies ever heard of



IGN had some hands-on time with a brand new Wii exclusive from the guys who brought you Panzer Dragoon. The game takes place in an ancient asian region- presumably Japan and promises some intense motion based action.

Hit the jump to see some highlights from IGNs report.

Sam Guilloud, product manager for D3 Publisher of America spoke on the team's influence for Dragon Blade, stating that, "We really want the player to have an arcade experience by just getting involved in the game. We want them to feel like they're the ones kicking ass, rather than spending too much time looking for 'jars of honey,' playing mini-games, or doing side quests. It's about getting them involved in the game, and letting them really take it to the enemies. There's really not a lot of content on the Wii that's actually 'action-oriented.' There's a ton of family games and casual games, a lot of sports titles and first-person shooters, but there isn't really a good hack-'n-slash game that lets people go nuts and really kick ass."

Game seems like it could be a really solid God of War clone- I'll take it!
