The Game Factory announced today that the 3D fighting title Legend of the Dragon, based on the European television show, will release for Wii in Q2 2007. "We are delighted to be publishing for the Nintendo Wii," said Game Factory President Henrik Mathiasen. "While the Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 next-gen consoles have really captured the imagination of the more mature gamer, at Game Factory we’re really excited about the potential impact Nintendo's Wii will have on the children's market, as this is obviously our forte." Legend of the Dragon follows the adventures of Ang Lueng, the newly chosen Golden Dragon warrior, as he trains to defeat the evil Zodiac Master Woo Yin and simultaneously combat his vengeful twin sister Ling, upset that she wasn't chosen as the Golden Dragon. Gamers will have 19 characters to choose from, each with unique fighting techniques, strengths and movements. Additionally, all characters wear magical wristbands that enable them to transform into mystical warriors representative of a certain zodiac creature. The game will be presented in a cel-shaded style and feature destructible environments, a real-time spell casting system and some light RPG elements, such as the ability to power-up fighters. The Wiire will keep you updated on Wii game announcements.
