Why WM+ won't help Wii in Japan. Too little, too late.

@ bardiverse - While Red Steel didn't live up to expectations it was a fun game and I find people who owned the original enjoyed it and are looking forward to the sequel. Besides, it'll be the first to use WM+ in real sword-fighting and it's been in development for 3 years now. It ought to be great.

 

 Actually, the one Ubisoft was originally developing 3 years ago was completely scrapped, and they started from the beginning again a year and a half ago... It was even switched from Ubisoft Montreuil to Ubisoft Paris in the change.

I knew they switched studios due to quality concerns I didn't know that they totally mothballed everything that had been developed so far though.    Looks like Montreuil went with a totally bizarre direction there.   Still, 2 yrs in development is enough time for a top notch Wii game.
