Yeah, we saw this one coming -- a Zorro game for the Wii. We can see it. The Wii remote is made for sword-fighting, and slashing the iconic "Z" with the controller is something we should all probably do once. But a whole game? We're skeptical ... and more so when it comes to the philosophy behind it. According to the developers, Pronto Games, they're trying to cram something for everyone into a small package; they want something "instantly engaging" with "challenges for casual gamers but with an interest level that will attract hard core gamers, too." While it sounds good on paper, it seems as though they're more interested in trying to please everyone than they are in just producing a good game. What's your take on this coming title?Wii Warm Up: So, Zorro

This sounds exactly like what Ubisoft said for Red Steel.
I personally didn't think Red Steel wasn't that bad, but they could have made it better.
And honestly, how much could they put into "a small package?" It sounds like a short game that would only be worth about 25-30 bucks. Based off of the other crappy Zorro games of the past that is.

probably just like Red Steel, probably a bit more repetitive.

They give it away right there in the description: this is going to be a minigame collection. That is the one genre the Wii no longer needs more of.
Now, if it were a semi-realistic fencing game, or even a fantasy-fencing swashbuckling thing, they might have something, there.
