A news post on the Web site of Zorro Productions has revealed that a Wii game based on the masked defender of justice is on track for release later this year.
While the company didn't reveal much about The Destiny of Zorro, it did say it was being developed by Pronto Games. Pronto's previous games include Dungeons & Dragons Eye of the Beholder for the Game Boy Advance and National Treasure Puzzle Quest for mobile phones.
According to the site, Pronto's approach to game design is to make it fast, fun, and small. For Zorro specifically, the studio is looking for something instantly engaging. It claims, "The game is easy to understand, with challenges for casual gamers but with an interest level that will attract hard core gamers, too."
"Crap" is written all over this.
looks crappy, hope they fix it up
I like good games but not this one....but i still like Zorro's story thought!
Good premise but it will be very easy for this one to fall through. Its either going to be a 10/10 or a 2/10 there won't be much middle ground for this title.
Interesting. The use of the Wiimote will be critical in this game.
this is interesting~
I really couldn't care less about a game about El Zorro. This game will suck. Period.
This game will be trash, sorry
not sure this is going to be for me
Strange....weird....unusuall
All I want is for them to impliment a motion-sensitive sword that actually follows your swings... Basically, what Red Steel was supposed to have.
meh
uhm...cool i gues....
My name is Antonio Banderas, an I am very sexy. Use my voice or die
LOL!!!
Sounds fun! Go, Wii60!!:D
If Catherine Zeta Jones is in the game...I will get it
Let's see what the game will bring when the game is released. Interesting to hear, none-the-less.
Nice idea. But surely this is going to be a simple whip/sword hack and slash affair. If they get the controls right, it could be a nice novelty. If not, just a mindless slasher.
this doesnt look too good... I mean, i cant like someting thats short small and fun and from people who made a dungeon and dragons game :S
I'm not keeping hi specs on this one... i mean,,, "Pronto's previous games include Dungeons & Dragons Eye of the Beholder for the Game Boy Advance and National Treasure Puzzle Quest for mobile phones"
Interesting. We will see how this one plays out. TIme will tell.
interesting ...
Seems like this could be a pretty good game. The Wii remote is perfect for mimicing the use of a whip. Lots of potential... let's hope they deliver.
hope the wii doesn't become like the GBA, full of disney channel games, and crappy games from other licenses
BORING!!! Zorro sucks! Especially s a video game! The Wii is the only thing that'll save it because you'll get to use the Wiimote as a sword.
You have a good point Z00Mbite.
If you never saw "zorro, the gay blade", you should. I don't care who you are. It's a HILARIOUS movie with great comedic acting by george hamilton and a much needed spoof to the entire zorro legend. I'm sure the game won't have much to do with the farce, but GameSpot picture selector people have some good ideas and found funny, real pics to go with the game.
Lol, Zorro the gay blade!!! "Are you good with a sword?" said Zorro. "No, but I'm pretty good with a whip" answered Zorro's gay brother. Classic flick, classic.
Good idea, but since it's a liscenced game, it's probably gonna suck.
This will probably suck. Too bad though, I bet you could do interesting things with the Wii mote as Zorro's sword.
The game probably will be done fast (Q4 2007 release)...but that's because it will be simplistic and short, not due to a sucky development team.
Clearly, when they say "Fast, fun, and small"..."fast" is talking about the action, not the development process. Like the puzzle game they made or whatever (or something like contra if you need the comparison), fast paced, fun, and small...fast doesn't mean that they're going to crap it out in less than a year. The game will probably still suck, but so do the comprehension skills of some of the people reading this article.
xtremeg4m3r This will obviously suck. Obviously
They're clearing making the game based on the fact you can do that "Z" thing with his sword. Thus? We're in Bullsh*t town!
I hope the Wii doesn't turn out to be a console where sword games roam free
This will obviously suck.
lol, yeah this will suck
I'll hold out my judgement on this for now. I'm hopeful yet doubtful on its outcome. It would be awesome to see a great Zorro game though.
o-[------------- My sword pwns like, everyone else, and stuff.
_____ / / /---------- Muahaha, i have left my mark!
I 3rd that!
Sole6: This will suck. Agree'd
This will suck.
Actually, Gay Blade' means exactly what you think it does. "Zorro, the Gay Blade" was a comedy in which Zorro is badly hurt, so he gets his gay twin brother Ramon to stand in for him while he recovers. Look it up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me.
If we`re getting a zorro game I want a "Blazing Saddles" game for the Wii next! CandyGram for Mungo!
You were asking for a Star Wars lightsaber game for the Wii, and I betcha that ya didn't thought of this before...
Hmmm.... not 100% sure how to look at this game...
I hold out hope!!! But fear he worst....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
