D3Publisher and LAND HO Co. Ltd.'s upcoming adventure title Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire for the Nintendo Wii had its own demo booth at the Anime Expo 2007. Anime otakus were able to try their hands on the waggly action-adventure game. While there's nothing really new to see in the videos - except that these are actual gameplay videos and not trailers - we can actually get to see how the dragon factor plays out in the game.

Flaming wings spring out of the main character's back to let him execute a double jump, and huge fiery claws grow out of his arms like extended appendages which grant the character extra dose of strength.

The landscape looks like it needs more improvement, though, and we've got a beef with how the character runs on accelerated speeds - LAND HO! could certainly do better than merely speeding up his movements. Add in better effects, perhaps?

In any case, just watch and enjoy the videos. Maybe it'll convince you to set aside some dough when the game finally comes out.
