Red Steel was featured very prominently in the pre-launch Wii commercials and the DVDs they gave away at Best Buy to promote the system... In the ads Red Steel looked like an awesome must-have game so I bought Red Steel and Zelda with the system. I was incredibly disappointed in RS (the controls sucked) and I traded it in a few weeks later to buy some old Gamecube games.
