Bleach: Shattered Blade

Bleach: Shattered Blade brings an exciting fighting game to the Wii that takes full advantage of its control system. Wielding the Wii Remote as their Zanpaku-to, a Soul Reaper's sword, players will slash and jab like a real Soul Reaper. The 32 playable characters all have personal fighting styles as well as special attacks to master, which mirror the attacks seen in the TV series. In addition to battling through Story mode, the game also features Arcade mode, and a Versus mode for battling against friends.

BLEACH is a popular animated series on Cartoon Network. The series follows the life of a 15-year-old boy, Ichigo Kurosaki, who crosses paths with a Soul Reaper and becomes one. The franchise has established itself as a major anime series in Japan, and is now creating a stir in North America. The first season of the show was featured on Cartoon Network's program, Adult Swim, and received solid ratings in America this past year. The series is poised for a successful second season in fall 2007. Simultaneously with the show season opener, the video game version of Bleach will be hitting store shelves on the Wii and Nintendo DS.
