Grab your Diskarmor and swing into action on the Nintendo Wii as the legendary warrior, Rygar!

This is where Rygar: The Battle of Argos for the Wii comes in.

Taking into account its humble beginnings as a coin-op arcade game, Kikuchi explains the development of this old time game and moving it onto the next generation platform.

The character is very easy to see in the game, and his actions in the game, depending on how you control him.

Rygar on the Wii ignores the elderly, girls and casual gamers.

But Rygar is still here, it’s coming this December, and we’ve played it and came away impressed.

Tecmo has been part of the game industry since 1967, and has been responsible for some of the most famous arcade and console franchises to date.

Adam Brown from CheatCC writes: Decades before Kratos made Greek mythology in video games cool again, Rygar was pioneering it in the arcade and on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

September 26, 2008 You’d be forgiven for assuming the Wii port of Rygar was quietly cancelled.

Here’s another homebrew game for you to enjoy on your Wii.

Tecmo likes to think of this version of Rygar as similar to what it did with Ninja Gaiden Black basically, this is meant to be the definitive version of the game.

Unfortunately for those of us that appreciate these sorts of Japanese English titles the North American version is subtitled “The Battle of Argus.”

Traditionally, Tecmo has supported PlayStation and Xbox platforms due to the hardcore fan base.

With the foreign title, simply adding “The” to “The Battle of Argus” will probably translate what we’re trying to do without adding more words to it.

For example, in the PS2 version, the enemies were more creature based.

Tecmo ’s Keisuke Kikuchi gives more details about Tecmo’s current project for the Wii, Rygar: Battle of Argus.

The Rygar franchise began in arcades in 1985 as an action affair, and appeared on the NES a year later with more of an adventure feel.

In previous installments, the colors and textures of this character was completely different.

We have the most extensive list of Rygar reviews, previews, and news from around the net.

So much so that the game is being subtitled Muscle Impact in Japan.

Set in Greco-Roman mythology, the third-person game definitely gives off a God of War vibe.

I looked even deeper into the controls and the characteristics of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck.

… Kikuchi says that instead of creating a game from the ground up, he prefers making games based on a central theme core and build around them new and unique features based on the console.

Working with all three major console platforms, Tecmo’s most famous current franchises include Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Fatal Frame, and Gallop Racer.

Intuitive use of the Wii remote allows you to deftly and effectively control the use of the powerful Diskarmor to destroy enemies and maneuver on, around, over, and under obstacles to save Princess Harmonia!

At the helm of this project is Keisuke Kikuchi a man who wants to bring a darker edge to the franchise and give Wii owners something that might, in fact, make players build their muscles.

Previews: Loads of gameplay inside, plus ‘Muscle Impact’.

For example, in Gladiator mode, the vertical swing will have the character swing vertically.
