Wii Zorro publisher 505 Games today announced a worldwide release for the game in late 2007, and provided a few bits of screenshot and concept art to go with it. I was mildly excited about this game at first, but now...not so much. Maybe it's just the fact that the screenshots are all of the same locations, fighting the same Mexican skelly-suited enemies, but I get the odd feeling that the entire game owes itself to the fact that you can easily slash a 'Z' in the air with your wiimote, and thus am eagerly awaiting the Wii version of The Scarlet Letter.

Zorro To Swish Up Wiis This Year

A recent posting at the official Zorro Productions web site reveals that The Destiny of Zorro, courtesy of developer Pronto Games, will hit the Nintendo Wii sometime this holiday season. According to the official site, the "visuals are high quality, as are the audio and storyline" and that the game will be "easy to understand, with challenges for casual gamers but with an interest level that will attract hard core gamers, too."

Jaded gamers may look to the developers recent release NickToons Winner's Cup Racing, note that it's a Valusoft release, and think that the game will be an ill-conceived Wii-mote swinging, license-coasting adventure. I'm not saying that's me, I'm just saying someone may think that. The Pronto philosophy that games should be "Small, Fast, and Fun" does give one hope, however, that the title will make blade emulation gameplay on the Wii an enjoyable affair.

Pronto Games is currently looking for a Senior Wii Engineer to help them on their Zorro quest. Michael McWhertor
