The range of Nintendo Wii exclusive Beat Em Up titles continues to grow this year as following hot on the heels of Tatsunoko vs Capcom we’ve an entirely new game; Wii’s Tournament of Legends. From producers High Voltage, this game is the beginning in a planned franchise of weapons-based fighters.

Wii’s Tournament of Legends centres around Greek and Roman mythology, that includes fighters based mostly on fables from that era. Each fighter is armed with a characteristic weapon, yet as the campaign mission goes on this weapon may be enhanced and levelled up with different talents, which helps to make fighting fairly diverse.

The gaming is as standard for a Beat Em Up, but a few interesting additions have been included. The cameraactually tracks to favour the gamer dealing the most harm, so when you’re administering quite a thrashing to your opponent the camera will zoom in on your actions. Moreover, each stage in Wii’s Tournament of Legends features a ‘Guardian’, an NPC who will charge in at chance intervals to assault you and your opponent. These attacks can be dodged or countered, and add an extra dynamic to the system.

The Wii remote and Nunchuk are each employed in Wii’s Tournament of Legends, and every controller corresponds to either your right or left arm as you assault and block. However, joy pad recognition is featured for people who prefer the old-fashioned style.

This game is looking to be another stunning Wii Beat Em Up. The fighting is looking solid enough and the little additions help to spice up a tried and tested formula. The subject material is fresh and makes a decent change to the usual range of characters we’d usually see. Wii’s Tournament of Legends is released this summer season, and could well be worth checking out!
