Here's a new gameplay video for upcoming Wii action/adventure title Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire featuring one of the deadlier in-game bosses Norgiloth. Before we begin, take note that the said boss is actually a three-headed dragon with teeth of metal and a body that can generate electric current.

If you go up against Norgiloth, you should watch for its Quake Attack - a machine-gun like fire of metal shards which covers a huge areas and is not easily dodged. Maybe the best thing to do when Norgiloth unleashes this to you is to prepare your Dragon Guard and pray to the gods you come out unharmed.

Anyway, enough spoilers from us and just enjoy the video below for D3Publisher's Dragon blade: Wrath of Fire.

Need more help getting through Dragon Blade's roster of fire-breathing nasties? If you don't a mind a spoiler (harcore, FAQ-are-for-sissies-type players are advised to steer clear), we've picked up a new gameplay video for D3Publisher's Wii title via IGN that should help if you're stuck at your boss battle with Mobrius, the snake dragon.

We won't get into the details of the fight, although players will want to know two important details. First, you'll want to be well-drilled in using Dragon Wing Guard and Dodge Roll - both will be your primary defensive skills. Second, the fight will take you through three phases. Mobrius will have different attack patterns for each, so you'll want to be very keep alert. With that said, we've also uploaded a couple of screenshots to give you a better view of the action. Happy viewing!

Aside from Endless Ocean, it appears Australia's Wii owners are about to get more game-lovin' in the near future. The country's Office of Film & Literature Classification (OFLC) has just rated Treasure Co. Ltd's Sin and Punishment for the Virtual Console.

This title, originally developed for the Nintendo 64 back in the year 2000, was previously announced to be available on Japan's VC for 1,000 Wii points.

The OLFC has also rated a couple of Wii titles as well, in the guise of Battalion Wars II, and Dragon Blade. DS owners will also be happy to know that Mario Party DS, Naruto Ninja Council, and Gradius 3 have been rated for their handheld.

That's all for the moment - check back in case we pick up more details for any other scheduled Aussie releases.

Furious hack-and-slash action imbued with the awesome fury of a fire-breathing dragon headed for you in this gameplay video update of D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire for the Nintendo Wii. We get you the juiciest bits about what could be the hottest title (literally) for Nintendo's motion-sensing console - that is, if we can stop wishing that you can actually summon the dragon's entire form through your sword.

In these videos, we see the main character using every weapon in his arsenal - that is, different parts of the fire dragon's body - to his advantage, making him an unstoppable one-man dragon fodder wrecking crew. We see a very nice utilization of the dragon's mighty tail as a burning whip, as well as the dragon's oversized fists for some good old-fashioned blunt force trauma. We also get a sneak peek at the beginning of a boss battle, where you'll have to use your skills and wits to destroy the multiple cores of the evil dragon.

The graphics are sharp and the moves are fluid - it's just a bit sad we won't be able to summon the actual dragon in his full form for a last-ditch attack, as we're only allowed to summon bits and pieces of him for combat. Oh, well. Besides that little quirk, Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire should be a hit with hack-and-slash fans, as well as those who want to see just how effective the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities can enhance gameplay.

Much has been said about the upcoming action adventure Wii game Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire ever since it was announced back in June by D3Publisher of America. At first glance, fans easily dismissed it as another God of War-clone but we suggest that you give it another look.

Why? Because the game does offer a lot of exciting features. The background story of the game, for one, came from no other than Richard A. Knaak who also penned video gaming classics such Diablo, Warcraft, and Age of Conan. So players in Wrath of Fire controlling a human who can summon a fierce powerful dragon isn't actually surprising considering the creator's background.

Even without that dragon, the character can survive on his own with his equally lethal sword. All of these can be performed, needless to say, through the Wiimote and Nunchuk combination. Boss fights will be present, different stages set in various worlds, and side quests will be minimal because the developers wanted the players to focus on the game itself.

While waiting for its September release, be more familiar with Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire with these screenshots. This latest batch shows off some of the unique locations that you will see in the game.

While D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire sounds like a very cliched adventure, it also sounds like a very epic one. I mean, what's more awesome than having the power of the only good dragon left in the world while you challenge the other remaining rogue dragons in their own turf? And in this boss breakdown update, we get intimate with Skaroth, one of the dragons you'll be dancing the deadly tango of death with in the game.

So, what IS Skaroth capable of? He has three main attack phases. The first attack phase has him sitting at the center of the arena, assaulting you with stalac...stalag...spiky stone things that bursts out from underneath you. Get too close, and he'll grab one of the stone projections and try to beat you with it - much like someone trying to whap a mosquito with a rolled-up newspaper. Ouch.

The second attack phase has Skaroth being just a bit more mobile, running around the room in an angry tantrum. Watch out, as he'll try his best to trample you underfoot or crush you with a flying boulder attack. Long-range attacks work here. If you're running a bit low on Fire power, just wait for the big lizard to stop and catch his breath. You can whale on him then.

If you've reached Skaroth's final attack phase, you're in luck - pretty much all he does is trash his tail around and wait for the entire ceiling to crash down on him. Just dodge the incoming stalactites from the roof as they fall, and get enough hits in for the Core Break opportunity to appear. Keep up the pressure, and you'll have Skaroth defeated in no time.

That wasn't hard at all, was it? For more ocular data, you can check out the video (as well as the rest of the screenshots) after the jump. Enjoy!

Enough info to choke a three-headed dragon (and that's a lot!) in this developer interview video update of the upcoming hack-and-slash game about the giant reptiles that breathe fire, D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire for the Nintendo Wii. Let's get right to applying liberal amounts of the hot stuff to see whether Dragon Blade can really take the heat better than Legend of Zelda could.

In this video interview with Sam Guilloud, Product Manager of D3Publisher, we find out about the game's storyline - that being, you're on a quest to rid the world of some nasty dragons, with the burning rage of the one good dragon imbued into your sword.

We also discover that the game will in fact focus heavily on this epic undertaking - which means few, if no sidequests or minigames whatsoever. Sam explains the reason for this is that D3Publisher wanted a more visceral game experience, rather than have sidequests or events that distract the player from the action.

Get yourself a helping of some quality hack-and-slash joy from the embed below. Enjoy!

Ever since Devil May Cry, boss battles had to reach epic standards for gamers to appreciate it. D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire may sound a wee bit cliche, but it's packed with everything an action game needs. Here's one of the boss fights that flaunt Wii's motion sensing capabilities, courtesy of IGN.

Ever get tired of pressing the same button over and over? Dragon Blade breaks the tradition, almost turning hack-and-slash into a physical activity. We're not talking about working your fingers out to do cool moves - you have to do all sorts of tricks with the Wiimote and Nunchuk to take down foes.

That isn't to say enemies will be made easier to conquer, because the water dragon Jagira shown on the video is made to give some punishments. With different attack patterns to avoid and memorize, Dragon Blade's biggest battles won't be a walk in the park.

 

Tons of info as well as some scorching-hot gameplay in this stage demo video of the upcoming hack-and-slash title for the Nintendo Wii, D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire. We get you the skinny on what's up with the game that gives you all the cool powers of a fire-breathing dragon - and none of the scales.

In this video, we see more of the gameplay that looks quite similar to today's popular slash-em-up titles, as well as a cool boss battle sequence between the flame-imbued protagonist and the enemy he's supposed to be ineffective against, the Water Dragon. Elemental rules may not be at play here, as the fire attacks pretty much hurt. We also get to see the Core Attack Chance instance pop up - an integral part in boss battles that activate once you've whittled down the boss' health enough.

For the info part of this update, we learn that Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire is going to be twenty-four stages long, divided evenly between six worlds. The bosses are pretty much patterned after the elements, and you'll be fighting them in drawn-out battles at the end of the world they're reigning over. We also find out the answer to a much-asked question: no, you won't be able to turn into an actual dragon in the game. A bit disappointing, sure, but since you've already got all the best bits of a dragon at your disposal, who needs to turn into one?

Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire is pencilled in to fly into store shelves September of this year. Updates as we get them, and enjoy the video!

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.

The second video awaits in after the jump!
