The MotionPlus action title faced its share of challenges, and then some.
In a recent Iwata Asks interview, producer Hitoshi Yamagami revealed that upcoming Wii action title Zangeki no Reginleiv started development in 2006, before the Wii had even been released.
The game is set to release on February 11 in Japan, giving the title a development life of more than three years. The game is developer Sandlot's first effort on the Wii.
The interview also gives some new details about the decisions behind the game, such as the violence. The development team ended up deciding the violence, which involves severed limbs, was acceptable as it was not being acted upon humans, but rather mythological creatures. The game received the Japanese rating of CERO D, which is similar to the ESRB's M rating, which prompted Nintendo to pack it in a black box instead of the standard white case.
