Nintendo Release an Amazing Beat Em Up With Wii’s Tournament of Legends!

The list of Nintendo Wii exclusive Beat Em Up titles continues to grow lately as running hot on the heels of Tatsunoko vs Capcom we’ve a completely new game; Wii’s Tournament of Legends. From producers High Voltage, this game is the beginning in a planned series of weapons-based combat games.

Wii’s Tournament of Legends is based upon Greek and Roman mythology, featuring fighters based mostly on legends from that period. Every fighter is armed with a characteristic weapon, yet as the campaign mission goes on this weapon will be augmented and levelled up with different abilities, which helps to make combat fairly diverse.

The gaming is as normal for a Beat Em Up, however a number of fascinating additions have been thrown in. The cameraactually pans to favour the gamer dealing the most harm, so when you’re administering a bit of a pasting to your opponent the camera will close in on your moves. Furthermore, every stage in Wii’s Tournament of Legends includes a ‘Guardian’, an NPC who will run in at random intervals to assault you and your opponent. These attacks should be dodged or countered, and add an extra dynamic to the system.

The Wiimote and Nunchuk are both used in Wii’s Tournament of Legends, and each controller corresponds to either your right or left hand as you assault and block. However, joy pad support is incorporated for people who fancy the old school way.

This game is looking to be another stunning Wii Beat Em Up. The combat is looking stable enough and the little additions help to boost a tried and tested genre. The subject material is refreshing and makes a decent change to the usual range of characters we’d usually see. Wii’s Tournament of Legends is released this summer, and might well warrant checking out!
