Soul Calibur getting Wii Remote action

The forthcoming title Soul Calibur Legends will have plenty of weapon slinging for players as Namco pushes what Nintendo’s controllers can handle on the Wii.

It’s easy to be excited over LucasArts prepping a lightsaber-swinging title for the Wii, but it will be one of what we think will be a lot of titles that make their players use their controllers to fight.

Namco’s Jim Okubo told CVG that they wanted to make a title which would appeal even to first time Soul Calibur players:

“By swinging the Wii Remote as players please, in-game characters will perform the exact sword actions that players are thinking of,” Okubo added. “The Nunchuk is mainly used for body movement, but by shaking the Nunchuk it’s also possible to block incoming attacks, evade dangerous situations, and to perform other unique moves. And there are various moves that can only be pulled off by combining Nunchuk and Wii Remote actions.”

As they used to say, “the soul still burns.”
