Zangeki no Reginleiv
« on: November 18, 2009, 06:37:31 AM »
People pestered me to make this thread so say it all together: "Here we go!"

Leaflet scans:



What we know:

- Made by Sandlot (Earth Defense Force series, Chou Soujuu Mecha MG)
- Playable characters are Freyr and Freyja (two norse gods) with Freyr focused on melee and Freyja on ranged weapons.
- 300 weapons unlocked through some upgrade tree with mana, can take 3 of them into a mission.
- 4 player online coop with a shared lobby (like PSO or Guild Wars) and some amount of character customization.
- Motion Plus and Classic Controller support (my guess is that the right analog stick will be used to mimic the movements of the Wiimote)
- 5 difficulty levels, if this is like other Sandlot games you will be able to select the difficulty per mission and beating each on different difficulties is tracked (there are five blue and five red stars under each mission on the mission selector, most likely it tracks every combination of character and difficulty and to get 100% you have to beat ALL of them). Usually higher difficulties give better rewards and you're supposed to start on normal and replay older missions on higher difficulties once your equipment is better.
- High quality cast of voice actors (at least in Japan...)
- Bows use multi-target lock-on with the starting one already locking onto 4-6.
- There's magic that uses MP which is regained by killing enemies.
- The framerate is "variable" (Sandlot games ALWAYS have slowdown) but the controls are designed to not be impacted by that.
- CERO D (17+) because of blood and the ability to cut off limbs.
- Release in Japan on 11th February 2010.
- Likely no Wii Speak, just fixed sentences.
- Atmosphere supposedly like LOTR battles (at least it has the huge elephant things...)
- Some weapon specific gauge is there. It's not shown on all weapons. Noone knows what it is.

Thanks for the topic KDR.

I am really liking the implematation of Motion+ and online co-op.

Hmm are there any games that have Norse gods as playable characters or even a setting in that regard?

Too Human, for example...

I played an old DOS game called God of Thunder (IIRC) that was like Zelda except you're playing as Thor. He threw Mjolnir like a boomerang which was quite cool.

But I think that's enough derailing for now.

Interesting... the online coop alone makes this a possi-buy.

I'm pretty sure Project HAMMER was made by a US studio, this is Sandlot.

yeah, but Nintendo could have cancelled it and took the idea to someone more competent. This could be what Sandlot turned it into.

This is what I know about Project HAMMER:

First shown at e3 2006 as a Wii tech demo. Like Disaster, news about it was almost non-existent. Flash forward to 2007, rumors spread that the game was cancelled. It was late confirmed by Miyamoto, but he had no idea why it was cancelled.

HAMMER was in development at NST. There other Wii projects have been... something, beside Sin & Punishment's English translation.

Earlier this year--they were responsible for Mario vs. DK for DSiWare.

I think he is talking about the graphical style of the game Pro. It doesn't look that similar to DQ Swords. Hard to think of a game that it looks like at the moment.

I am commenting on the on-screen slash marks, and that they're straight lines, as well.

This is by the same people who made Earth Defense Force 2017, right? That is one of the best games on the 360.
