ZOMG: Ubisoft announces "Red Steel"

From the didn't-see-this-one-coming
department is a new Ubisoft press release which reveals a brand new, totally unheard of FPS for
the Revolution called Red Steel. The game sees players wielding the Revolution's magic wanger like a gun or a
sword, either blasting opponents in the face with superb accuracy or slicing them up with unbridled malice. It all
sounds very exciting."We’re honored to announce this exciting new franchise and we’re confident that Red Steel will be the must-have title for the Revolution when it launches,” says Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. Nintendo's very own Reggie Fils-Aime adds that, "Nintendo is excited to have Ubisoft bring Red Steel to the Revolution launch lineup."
Amidst all the excitement, you may spot the official confirmation that Red Steel will be an exclusive Revolution launch title (one down, nineteen to go). Mr. Hascoet states that, "We have been working closely with Nintendo to take full advantage of the innovative controller to create a thrilling experience that can only exist on the Revolution.” That's certainly excellent news, since having a familiar and creaky genre such as the first-person shooter around will definitely help with easing sceptics into the new control system. Let's just hope developers don't dwell on the familiar for too long.

I've been chomping at the bit to get any Revo details. I can't wait. Launching with what is sure to be a Teen probably even a Mature rated game will surely draw the mature crowd. I love Mario and Super Smash Bros. so Nintendo has got a sure sale in me; but to see a brand spanking new franchise from Ubi will give Revo some leaverage this coming holiday season. The idea of two ways to kill sounds awesome... I can't wait to get my hands on some FPSS (first person shooter / slicer) carnage!!!
