2 New Wii Games announced, Wii-related injuries likely to escalate in hilarity

Two new games announced today for the Nintendo Wii:

Project Rygar by Tecmo

Not just a port of the PS2 title, in fact, Project Rygar's freshness is clear in the game's motto: "New Hero. New Enemies. Swing Action." The gameplay is supposedly centered around the Wii remote's capabilities. With the force one flings their faux-Diskarmor (the main weapon in the game, a sort of deadly shield attached to your wrist by a chain), I can only imagine how many plasma screen TV's will be smited (smitten?) in the name of Hades.


Soulcalibur Legends by Namco Bandai

Seems to be a far cry from the previous Soulcalibur titles - as it's not a fighting game, but a "third-person action adventure" title. It too is based around the Wiimote controls, and will feature familiar characters from the Soulcalibur franchise in a completely original story.

Every time I get disheartened about the lack of Wii releases, a day like this happens. Let's just hope that these games get release dates soon, unlike other Wii titles I've looked forward to in the past (cough cough Super Mario Galaxy or Smash Brothers or Metroid cough cough).
