New Details on Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on Wii
Today, Ubisoft released some new details for their early summer release title, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on the Nintendo Wii. Some of the features that are being implemented for the Wii include multiple paths through the enviornments, using the acrobatic prowess of the Prince to navigate combat and levels and of course, impressive graphics for the Wii.
The two screens that were sent over with the press release look really good, and remind me a bit of the Prince of Persia title that came out on the PC, 360 and PS3 a year ago. That said, am I the only one that pictures a ridiculous control scheme for the Prince to navigate the environment that is wrapped around motion control. It could be good in theory, but how will it work in practice will determine the success or failure of the title.
Look for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on Wii, May 18th, 2010. Check the jump for the full press release and the other screenshot.
