Pokemon Snap was great, don't get me wrong, but I beat it in probably 3 or 4 hours.

Very true... the game was made to be an epic rental experience and nothing more, sadly.

Still, I will take three hours of gaming bliss over however many hours of mediocrity that Red Steel gave me before I lost interest and went back to Wii Sports with the intent of never playing it again.

I received the first one as a present (used) and haven't even tried it yet.  I really should give it a go to see what the excitement is all about.

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

Where did this news (if you can call it that) come from?

Red Steel had more than enough promise to make me look forward to a non-rushed sequel.  Most of its problems came from unfamiliarity with the Wii remote and a management decision to shove it out the door for the launch.  And consider this: If Red Steel hadn't made those control mistakes and provided a highly visible lesson for the whole industry, would someone else have made those mistakes later, possibly even Retro?

Red Steel's most overlooked problem was its inexcusable AI.  Why oh why did enemies duck behind explosive containers to find "cover?"  How is it they could stand next to me and still miss?

It was almost hilarious how easy they were to kill.

With the control scheme presented in Red Steel, even I found it rather difficult to aim at two feet away!

Yeah, I think part of the AI's stupidity was to compensate for your pathetically slow turning speed.

I didn't think Red Steel was so bad.  The gameplay just needed some polish.  Also the cutscenes.

I thought the gameplay was great (still do), and the AI I had no issues with, in fact sometimes they'd do extraordinary things. There were some hilarious glitches like dudes flying a mile up in the air from explosions. There are some great inspired levels too and i cant wait to see what they  come up with next. What they need to fix is the crap presentation, the game has no replayability because you can't just go straight into the action from the menu, you have to watch cutscenes all the time. Multiplayer was quite good too.

I'm happy enough that RS2 is confirmed to exist.
