Namco Bandai have released new information on the upcoming Soul Calibur Legends for Wii! And we've got all the details you need inside...

The game is being described as a "reinvention" of the classic fighting franchise. Developed exclusively for the Wii, Soul Calibur Legends will be a third-person action adventure, controlled with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk.

The title will follow the 16th century exploits of Siegfried and other Soul Calibur characters new and old, as they find themselves on a quest for ultimate power in order to save an empire from destruction. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as their weapons of choice, players perform moves and combos using orchestrated slashes and movements. Sword fighting capabilities are reportedly "pushed to the limit" as gamers unleash special attacks to crush scores of enemies and large bosses.

Gamers will be able to earn titles such as Knight or Soldier as they master special attacks acquired throughout the adventure while battling through diverse stages and environments. With multiple modes of play and the help of familiar faces, the Soul Calibur universe will be viewed in an entirely new light.

"Over the past ten years, since the release of the original Soul Blade, the team behind the Soul Calibur series has pushed the envelope of technology and innovation with each iteration," Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and COO of Namco Bandai America commented. "With Soul Calibur Legends, they saw the opportunity to once again create an immersive experience that is unique to the franchise."

Sounds like good clean fun to us. More as it breaks.
