SPEED-LINK Swordplay Kit for Nintendo® Wii™
Weertzen, May 2007 - Whether you're a pirate in the Caribbean or a knight of the round table: with this scimitar, sword and shield set from SPEED-LINK, sword fights will turn into a real experience.Heroic sword fights and battles with pirates are simply more fun.
With a sword in your hand, games like 'Pirates Of The Caribbean - At The World's End' or 'Prince Of Persia - Rival Sword' take on a new quality. Movements become more realistic and battles become even more enjoyable when fighting using the combination of the sword and shield. At the same time, the dragon design of the shield and the dark design of the sword and scimitar provide the right look.
Simple to use
The Wii Remote simply clicks into the sword or scimitar and sits securely in the slot. There is a mount on the back of the shield for the Wii Nunchuk. The Remote strap provides an even more secure feeling.
The SPEED-LINK Swordplay Kit for the Nintendo Wii will be available from the end of June 2007 for the RRP of €24.99.

However, with the uniqueness of the Wii to immerse oneself into the game, I think this is a clever and nifty idea. The thought of having your own sword and shield set so you can play and pretend like your an ancient knight or the Prince of Persia kicking some massive butt! That is simply awesome.
I love how the Wii has changed the way games can be played.
:laugh:
just another way wii immerses you into the gameplay.
imagine zelda with the sword and shield...
The IR pointer is pretty good, but has a bit of delay time.
While this seems like a cool idea, what games actually use the remote as a sword? I'm guessing there at least some coming with a product like this, but even in games like zelda this doesn't really match up with the movements.
I'm sure there'll be LIGHTSABERS and more sword like games soon :D
Talking of Star Wars games, KOTOR II was amazing, I wish they would make a new one.
Edit: In fact, KOTOR II may be one of my favourite games ever. Never played the first one.
I bought it for teh gamecube (i played the wii version at my friends) and it was a LOT easier to play on gamecube then wii, the controls were simply too imprecise and unrealistic. It didn't give me that cool awesome feel that so many people claim the wii gives them.
And it makes me laugh that they make something like this, it makes no difference what so ever, it just makes your wii mote look different, a pretty useless product imo :/
Some people want "realistic". others want "fun".
I'm in the fun catagory.
You could be tipping cows by running in a hamster wheel, but If its fun, I don't really care! :rockout:
As for useless products... well... I bet you own video games too.
