We don't want to go jumping the gun on this one, but if there's a title that could come anywhere
near rivaling the excitement we have for another WiiWare title,
Mega Man 9, then this is it. Developed by the students that created
de Blob (the original, not the
still-awesome-looking THQ game set to release on Wii),
Swords & Soldiers is "a sidescrolling real time strategy game." It features three different factions, all "battling for the powers of the gods." The game will be comprised of a single-player campaign mode, as well as support for a splitscreen multiplayer mode (local only, though). It's also promised to include "several other game modes."
Look for
Swords & Soldiers to hit WiiWare in all regions during Q4 of this year. Be sure to check out the first screens in our gallery below. The artistic style is
amazing.

Vikings struggle for control in a world that looks like many flash cartoons...
Looks worth a shot, i'd need to know more, though

Hm, looks interesting, sort a cross of the cartooned version of a viking focused black and white game. I'd also like to mention this little nugget of craziness, to me it's 1 part earth worm jim and 1 part the nightmare before christmas, take a gander at KORE for the wii.

Reminds me a bit of this for some reason... King Arthur's World for the snes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOiisvEuRt8 ..
but with flash animation.
I can see the internet in its infinite wisdom shooting this down because theres another game being hyped right now with sword wielding chubby flash characters.. Though this dosnt seem to be anything like castle crashers from what I can see..
