The Destiny of Zorro - Facts & Screens

The first real facts and four screenshots on The Destiny of Zorro have come in. Can you slash a 'Z' with the Wii?

Publisher 505 Games today donned its mysterious black cape, mask and gaucho to announce it will be publishing The Destiny of Zorro exclusively on Nintendo Wii. The Destiny of Zorro, developed by California-based Pronto Games, is scheduled for an international release in late 2007.

Players will make an incredible action-packed journey through the sun-scorched coast and desert landscape of early 1800's Spanish California playing as the infamous Zorro : the swashbuckling defender of the oppressed whose secret identity is the fictional wealthy caballero Don Diego de la Vega. Using the unique properties of the Wii controller, players can whip, slice and of course perform Zorro's signature 'Z' slash move to bring his foes to justice.

The Destiny of Zorro draws inspiration from the Mexican, Spanish and Native Southwest American cultures prevalent in California in the early 1800's : the time of the original Zorro. The multi-tiered story sees Zorro confronting the nefarious Calavera and his troops, defeating a plot to steal a great treasure, thwarting a power-hungry mob boss, and facing off against a rebel army. Players will discover the secrets behind the origin of Zorro himself. The game also carries forward some of the explosive plot lines suggested by recent Zorro properties, such as the recent blockbuster Hollywood movies.

"Swashbuckling Zorro is the perfect character for the Nintendo Wii," commented Randy Angle, President and Creative Director Pronto Games. "We had a very short list of characters when we first considered making an action game for the Nintendo Wii... Zorro is a natural... using the Wii remote and the nunchuk controller players are in for a real treat as they slash and swing their way through Zorro's story."

Scheduled for a late 2007 release, The Destiny of Zorro, developed by Pronto Games and published by 505 Games, promises action, romance and, by use of the innovative Wii controller, the unique thrill of 'becoming' the great hero himself!

The first four screenshots of the game can be found right here on DS-x2, on the gamepage for The Destiny of Zorro.

  Looks like they forgot to put lighting into the game. And yeh, the water effects look terrible. And its a shame about the Dreamcast. So far ahead of its time and yet it faded into nothingness all to quickly. Still have mine with 40+ games and I love it.
