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!

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles unveiled! well, not really...

It seems that everytime I talk about this game they release some sort of information about it. I should probably start talking about it more often.

Capcom announced that the game will indeed take advantage of the Wii's widescreen ability and also play in 480p. This may have been expected by most of you, but there's more!

They have confirmed that the game will take place between Code Veronica and RE:4 . That said the rumoured, 'REmake portions' are also confirmed. The game will essentially have two play modes. One in which you uncover plot bridging the two games, and another that throws you, once again, into classic RE settings with completely revamped controls, and obviously graphics.

The team working on the game are those responsible for the PS2 port of RE:4. Many speculate that the game will atleast be touched upon at Capcoms upcoming 'Gamers Day'.

thanks Matt
