Violent Sword Game on Revolution

March 31, 2006

by: Phillip Levin

EXCLUSIVE: Sources tell AMN about an exclusive first-person game featuring swordplay and more.
Sources within Nintendo of Europe have confirmed for AMN that an un-named company will reveal a wholly exclusive action game involving swordplay, action and violence in the coming days to weeks for Nintendo Revolution.

We were told this project would feature themes including blood, violence and swordplay.

While the source AMN talked with was unable to reveal anything more, through talking to a number of other sources within the industry, we’ve learned that Ubisoft is currently developing an exclusive Revolution first-person shooter codenamed “Katana” for Revolution. This first-person game combines shooting elements with swordplay ones, according to sources. What’s more, it’s incredibly violent and adult-themed.

Readers should definitely note that we’ve been unable to confirm whether these two projects are related.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

Adult themed, violent game, and exclusive to Nintendo, it really seems like an april fools joke but I guess its best to wait and see



Edit:Red Steel w/ screen shots

A game rated higher than "E" on a Nintendo console.....APRIL FOOLS!!




IKIK Would be cool if it was real though...

Theres something awkward about having to say that it includes violence. Action and Sword game really sort of...includes violence automatically.

Obviously you have never played Pirate Pizza Kitchen

God, I cannot wait until Sunday so every thread doesn't contain "Is this an April Fool's joke?"

Seems like a joke to me, why else would they have to say it's violent like 12 times, and "katana" was the codename for the dreamcast (and why would you codename a game?).

the entire internet should be banned for the week leading up to April 1.

Agreed, I hate it.

That's what throws me right there. Stupidest quote ever if its true.

Depending on where you do that, it'll only make you night unto arrested.

I think this deserves it's own thread though, since it says that not only Red Steel will be shown, but also two games.

EDIT: Actually, it doesn't say whether those two games are actually Revolution games. Might not be. My mistake if they arent.

That only encourages me further.

...Looks pretty damn good to me. Hopefully this will shut at least a few of the nay-sayers up.

EDIT: and the IR on the controller is round instead of flat on one side. Weird.

Looks good and fun, I'll be getting a revolution since it's all I'm willing to pay for. I'll be playing it on my TV while my brother plays his xbox360 on his LCD monitor (A good 12 or so inches smaller than his TV) just to have it in HD...

Wait, so is this real or a joke?

Why are those grpahics even better than most Xbox 360 games. I still have a bad feeling this is a April Fool's Joke that has somehow still remained alive.

I've never allowed myself to play a first person shooter on a console. Resident Evil 4 was the closest to thing to a shooter I've ever made myself play.

Finally there are console controls that dont need to be adjusted by auto-aim in the background.

I think it would be hard for a magazine to get away with this kind of joke without taking a huge hit as a consequence. A joke story is fine, but putting it on your cover is much too far. Many people will buy GI because of the cover, and you can expect a lot of angry people if they find out it is fake. Isn't Game Infarcer their April Fool's tradition? Pulling two jokes is cruel.
