Red Steel - first screenshots for Nintendo Revolution

Endangered Gamer has posted a few scans of the first in-game screencaps for the Nintendo Revolution.

Game Informer Confirms the scans as legit. Ubisoft (the title's developer/publisher) employees posting on the IGN website assert the the screencaps are taken from a playable in-game demo. The bottom of the picture illustrates the accompanying motion the players will perform with the Revolution's controller.

Overall, I'm impressed with the look of the game. Definitely not on par with the 360 and PS3, but certainly impressive for a demo of a launch title.

If Nintendo has developed the technology to where the control "feels right" and not just a cheesy tech-demo... I think this will change the way games are played. Players will point the controller at the screen and the character will point his gun accordingly. Grenades are tossed using either an under or overhand arm motion, the sword (which apparently is a prominent feature of this Yakuza-gangster styled game) is manipulated by the player's slashing/blocking motions.

You can probably find readable scans of the whole article online, but I think it's kind of cheap to simply scan this mags big scoop and keep people from buying the issue.

Nice start for actual Rev game coverage... I think it may have been a strategic move by Nintendo to let a mature-themed 3rd party game leak first... head off the cutesy criticisms from the get-go.
