Unfortunately it appears as though we won’t be seeing the fantastic looking Red Steel 2 until sometime early next year.

Ubisoft have just announced their latest sales report which tragically states that Red Steel 2 for the Nintendo Wii won’t be available to consumers until the last quarter of the company’s current fiscal year. This means that we should see the eagerly awaited first person title released between January – March 2010.

Nintendo Wii: Red Steel 2 Will Be Wii MotionPlus Only

redsteel2b

Jason Vandenburghe, the creative director on Red Steel 2, has announced the highly anticipated first person title will only be playable for gamers who have purchased the Wii MotionPlus peripheral.

“It’s a huge risk. We have no idea what the penetration rate for Wii MotionPlus will be. “We assume high. We would like it to be high. I would love to say to you that it’ll be compatible with just a regular controller, but the gameplay simply isn’t there without MotionPlus. That core experience just isn’t there without it.”
