Ghostfire Games Announces Release Date

It was recently announced by Ghostfire Games that Rage of the Gladiator will hit WiiWare's virtual shelves this coming Monday, March 15th. It will cost 1000 Wii Points.

And what good would a game be without a contest to coincide with its release? Ghostfire Games announced a competition which challenges players to beat the game as fast as possible. This encompasses both the regular game, and the challenge mode (more difficult versions of the bosses), which unlocks after beating the regular mode. If you do all of this first, with a Grade A in every boss fight, and send a screenshot to Ghostfire Games, they will put your name in one of their next video games.

If you remember, Ghostfire was working towards a late 2009 release of the game, but because of interest shown by fans, they decided to work in Wii MotionPlus. This set their development back, but as Ghostfire Games' Scott Merriam said in a prior interview, they prefer to take the "Blizzard approach" of making sure their game is a quality one, ensuring not to rush it out too soon.

Coupled along with the announcement of the release date was also new media of the boss Tagon (pictured above). This raps up all of the media releases Ghostfire Games will do before the release of the game. Each release served as a preview to a new boss, and to see a listing of bosses revealed in the game, check out Ghostfire Games' website.

Are you going to get this game? If so, are you going to compete to get your name in a video game?
