Red Steel can be generalized as a first-person shooter/swordfighting game. Utilizing the Wii's remote and nunchuk attachment, you take the streets of the US and Japan fighting anything in your path. Switching between firearms and swords, you will battle your way through cities fighting gangsters, mobsters, and yokuza bosses.

It may all sound familiar but, with the Wii remote and nunchuk, it will bring fresh elements this genre so strongly needed. Using the Wii remote as a gun or sword, you will move the controller where you want to go. No longer is moving thumbsticks your only option for console FPS's. Controlling your players movements will be done through the nunchuk and sword fighting will consist of well timed sword slashes with the remote and quick blocking techniques with the nunchuk. Gunplay combat will use the remote as the actual gun in the palm of your hand controlling every small moment your hand does, even the twist to shoot sideways a.k.a. "gangsta-style".

Ubisoft is developing this game exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, and expect it to slash into store shelves on release day of the Wii.
