Hmm... I'm sorry if I'm raining on everyone's parade, but in NGamer I read that their lead designer expressly denied this very thing. He said that to play it with direct sword control, it would take 15 years to master the combat, because it would be like fighting directly with a katana, which takes years to master
Yeah right, did you at any point concider that they might make it freehand control but drop down the difficulty so you can't chop off your own feet???
Anyone can swing the wiimote at another guys face in a game as long as the opponant difficulty is not set at über-samurai :sick:
