What happened on Activision then? I thought theyre the one always localize the Tenchu series?

Ubisoft solidifies their position as one of the top third party publishers for Wii.

No, it's not just you, I'm pretty amazed as well. I don't agree with Crazzy, some effect I see in the screens are beyond Xbox. It's like those Brawl vs DOA screens someone posted earlier. Xbox had very good textures, but the Wii seems to have at least better shaders and lightning.
The character models themselves aren't overly impressive in Tenchu 4 though, a bit edgy (but more than good enough for what I'd expect).

Overall I think this will become a very decent title. And it's in a genre where there's virtually no competition on Wii yet.

And lol @ Ubisoft publishing it! Time to live up to your principles guys (and therefore miss out on a good Wii title)!

I actually think it looks better (graphics-wise) than Tenchu Z. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Tenchu Z was hella fugly.
