Ubisoft has recently announced that they have re-designed the sword fighting control scheme from a gesture based motion to one which is more realistic. Before using a pre-defined motion of the Wii-mote would result in slashes, thrusts, parries etc to make it easier for gamers to use the sword. Now though they have changed it so it recreates your actual motions with the Wii-mote, so you will have to handle the sword if it was of your own.
I was never a fan of the gesture motion when it was shown at E3 but could understand why it was needed to make it easier for gamers new and old to get to grips with the game. It is possible though that they will include both control schemes for the final version to make it as accessible as possible to everyone. What would be interesting would be a 2 player sword fight via WiFi or link-up… Maybe next time…

I’m looking forward to this and the new reconfigured controls. I believe Red Steel will be a popular game on the Wii besides Wii Sports.
