New Dragon Quest Swords footage is looking ace

The Wii exclusive Dragon Quest Swords was released in Japan this week and GameVideos has begun to slash and waggle their way through the first Square-Enix title for Nintendo's console. It's come a long way since its original debut and is looking quite nice by any standards. A knack for pleasant art will do that for you.

Using the Wii remote as a sword and a shield, Swords appears to play like an intensely updated Crossed Swords — a true, unsung classic of the Neo-Geo. IGN was the last outlet to go in-depth with the title, should you wish to learn more.

[Update - What? No nunchuk shield? Weak.]
