Kendo for Wii

[Bear of Doom]

I knew this was going to sooner or later come out ... don't know why people would rather sit at home and do this than actually go to the dojo, but whatever, looks cool!

Awesome find!! haha this should be interesting!

[Abramo]

I've been waiting for this for a long time! I hope I can get my hands on that.

[Exia00]

perhaps they'll upgrade it to be like Bamboo blade!! XD

pretty cool though, i wonder how they would do tsuki/jodan/niito. hahah

[Wookiesmurf]

Tsuki, at least, is no problem: just jab with the wiimote. I hope they'll use the wii motionplus-thingy for it.

[Exia00]

problem with this though, is you can't really 'seme'. haha. That and doesn't look like you can use nidan/sandan waza nor hikiwaza.

[Raffa]

With the new motion plus (which add precision on the wiimote) there is a game in sport resort called sword play that is veeeery interesting...

Yeah that was what I was thinking. Then again I feel the same way about online gaming and such. At any rate if it gets children interested in doing kendo then I'm all for it.

well I think that the kendoka's that are in college or around friends alot, this would be something that maybe they would enjoy yet not beat up on their friends. But I know what Ill be playing with some college friends when Im not practicing or doing homework. Or my job for that matter. But I see this is one thing that could bring some into the art and maybe not. It depends. Heck maybe you could invite some people from you dojo and have fun...a cook out and alittle fun would be sweet. Get your sensei on this and I think everyone would be happy that day.

[Maku-san]

Awesome! Now I can finally convince my wife to get a Wii for the house!!!! :grin:

[jjcruiser]

My kids are going to go crazy when they see this. I guess it's time to buy a Wii finally.

[SanguineKendoka]

Finally, a reason to blow the dust off my Wii.

[KendoKidd]

Wow, that looks awesome! Perhaps I should go out a buy a Wii....
Though nothing beats the real deal, it still looks fun.

[NigelSponge]

yes.


(ten characters!!!)

[Django]

O: I want it! Interestingly enough, the first game was nominated for "Worst game every played"

I still want it though. o3o;;

But there's a whole lot more games on list of games wanted...

Though the Wii Sports Resort thing looks more appealing, though less... kendo-like, it seems to have more capabilities... But then it means that small men will be less effective than it would be in real life. xD;

[CH0ZEN]

That game is awesome! Has anyone managed to get their hands on it?

[ArcticBlizzard]

Omg that is so awesome, I want it!

[ThePoetWarrior]

i wonder how you would do kote men

[CH0ZEN]

Just FYI, I found out that the game is not ready for release until 2010 so we have to wait a little bit.

[MiddleEarthNet]

The Europe and Australian releases seem to be this month. Certainly for the UK, it appears to come on 15 May under the name Sports Island 2.

[Lee-chan-92]

hahaha nice!!!
another reason to get a WII ;D

[CH0ZEN]

You should go buy it as soon as it comes out in your country and then post your review on this page.

[MiddleEarthNet]

I plan to. I'll take the long route home on Friday to go past the shop which hopefully will sell it.
