Ubisoft has finally confirmed the release dates for Red Steel 2 in the US and Europe. Americans will be getting the game on March 23 and Europe will get the game a few days later on March 26.
You'll have two options of buying the game here in the US. You'll be able to pick up the game for the regular price of $49.99, or for $10 more, you can get the game along with the Wii MotionPlus attachment. And if you're pre-order the game from GameStop, you'll also get two in-game bonus swords.
Europeans looking forward to Red Steel 2 are definitely getting the killer pre-order bonus. The bonuses will include an art book, a Red Steel 2 branded metal bullet and four exclusive in-game weapons. You can get all the details on these bonus items over on Ubisoft's Forums.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

i'm sorry, but f**k red steel 2. and f**k wii motion plus and how they trying to get you to pay and extra tenner for it. it straight up DOES NOT WORK. it doesn't give you 1 to 1 complete control like you are wielding a sword.
look forward to more caveman style clubbing action with ps2 graphics, folks.. if this was on the ps3 motion wand, I would still be skeptical, but this is going to be another POS due to the hardware.
Red Steel was atrocious. I mean, exceptionally bad. It literally offended me in every possible way.
Red Steel 2 looks infinitely better and seems unrelated, but the shear fact that it is called Red Steel 2 makes me want to avoid it like the plague. The reviews would have to be pretty amazing for me to even get near the box without protective gear.
I played this at E309, and was surprised how well it worked, or how it surpassed my albeit low expectations. FWIW, I waited outside of Circuit City for 13hrs just to get the Wii and Red Steel on launch day, only to be greatly disappointed for RS1. So I'm a HUGE skeptic of Red Steel 2, but I have to admit the RS2 is an amazing improvements. And judging by some of the more recent previews and dev diaries they significantly improved the visuals since E3.
I'm not going to lie, I hated the first one but this one seems more promising. I will get it if the reviews turn out positive. As for that azinvasion dude above me, he's retarded. Go ahead and swing the Wiimote for 30 minutes long and you'll see why they didn't implemented one to one.
much like other people, I hated the first game but am cautiously optimistic about the sequel. I watched some things from E3, and while the game could easily become monotonous unless they throw something more into the combat (I know that there are new moves you learn later on and so forth), but otherwise the game looks pretty good. I'm waiting for more trailers and reviews before I reserve actual money for this, though.
that is one cool looking pre-order bonus for us Europeans for once though!
But somehow these trailers for Red Steel 2 make me somewhat interested in the game...even if it was all cutscenes. The aesthetic is just...awesome. Let's hope there's gameplay to match.
"Might wait till, this reaches bargain bin prices till I buy it, after Red Steel 1 I'm wary of still following the franchise."
It's a totally different team making it, so its really a sequel in name only. Sure wait to see if its good by the reviews, but I doubt it'll be in the bargain bin anytime soon, seeing as how it comes with a motion plus in every box. Its at a cheaper price as it is, because you're saving $10 on WM+.
I really question the decision to name this game Red Steel 2. They may as well have named the thing Mein Kampf 2.
That said, this thing looks pretty good. I dig the style--I just hope its more than a generic shooter. Also, getting $10 off MotionPlus sounds like a good deal to me.

Anyway, I hope this turns out well, I love the borderlands/samurai western aesthetic.
So yes, I'm actually looking forward to this.

and those PS2 graphics are BITCHIN'
Cell shading is the Pimp daddy for any games that have awesome atmosphere and detail.
Jet set radio, borderlands , and Tales of symphona just to name a few.
Also Wii motion Plus does give 1:1 you obviously didn't play the sword game on resort.
That said, this thing looks pretty good. I dig the style--I just hope its more than a generic shooter. Also, getting $10 off MotionPlus sounds like a good deal to me.
