With publisher Ubisoft having previously detailed the swordplay and various guns of Red Steel 2, you may have thought that was all Ubisoft Paris's motion-sensing Wii sequel had to offer. You didn't even think to check for super powers, did you? DID YOU?!

Hot off the heals of Red Steel 2 going gold, Ubisoft wants you to check out the various weapons of the Wii MotionPlus-requiring FPS before it arrives on March 23.

With Splinter: Cell Conviction and Red Steel 2 pushed out of the crowded holiday season--both now due between January 1 and March 31, 2010--Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has explained that the delays stemmed from quality concerns.

"Red Steel and Splinter Cell are going to greatly benefit from the additional polishing time," he said in a conference call, as reported by Joystiq. "It's just a question of polish...[the teams] asked for more time to be able to come with a better product, for both of those games. The quality of the games is there for what you've been able to see at E3, but we were not able to have that same quality on the full game." Read more »
