E3 2007 Media | Soul Calibur Legends Screens/Art (Nintendo Wii)

Bandai Namco is readying its Soul Calibur spin-off adventure game for Nintendo's Wii for a Q4 2007 release in the West and to celebrate, the company has sent Cubed3 a wealth of new media.

Soul Calibur, the weapon-based fighting game franchise, is to be reinvented as Soul Calibur Legends, a 3rd person action adventure, exclusively made for Nintendo's Wii. The game follows the 16th century exploits of Siegfried and other Soul Calibur characters, new and old. Siegfried finds himself on a quest for ultimate power in order to save an empire from destruction, bringing him into conflict with other warriors seeking to unify the pieces of the Soul Edge sword. This fateful quest leads to his inevitable possession by the cursed blade.

The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are your weapons of choice as you perform your moves and combos using various timed slashes and movements. You will be able to master special attacks that you acquire throughout the adventure whilst battling through diverse environments, crushing a plentiful supply of enemies and large bosses. With the help of other characters from the series, the developer's aim is for players to "view the Soul Calibur universe in an entirely new light".
