Game News - Red Steel 2 Spotted, Super Mario Galaxy May Be Late

   So far, people don't seem to be very impressed with Red Steel, a game that Ubisoft was hoping to give them a head start in the race to populate the Wii console with all kinds of games. The faulty controls make up the main issue denounced by most reviewers, even though the developers are known to have reworked the game's control system at least once, following modest reactions from those who got a chance to play Red Steel at E3 2006. But since this is barely the first Wii "shooter", the genre's fate on Nintendo's new console is far from sealed, and Ubi seems to have gone back to the drawing board, planning to make things right.

   With the experience gathered so far, and with new recruits drafted on the French company's jobs page, the Red Steel project moves ahead. By all accounts, the newborn franchise will be continued with a new action game, however we're not ruling out any adventure or role-playing elements, and an online component (initially promised for Red Steel, but absent from the final version) - as NintenDomaine spotted a new job opening for a Senior Game Designer, requesting for previous experience with Adventure, RPG and online games.

   Another Wii related uncertainty has also surfaced after MTV.com conducted an interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. The guy says that Super Mario Galaxy might be released later than expected, around Christmas 2007, but just as well it might come as early as Spring 2007. Time will tell.

   And finally, speaking of delays, in case anyone was expecting Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii along with the console's European launch next week, you'd better wait some more... until March 2007, says SPOnG.
