Baroque delayed until March

A day after my first Baroque piece went live I get an e-mail from Atlus that Baroque won’t be arriving until March 18. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because Sting announced Baroque for Wii wasn’t coming out until March 13 in Japan. Previously, it looked like North America would get the widescreen Wii-make first.

Details are still unclear about how Baroque for Wii will incorporate motion control. Atlus mentions “subtle” integration for power attacks. You hold down a button do a power strike on the PS2 version. Maybe a shake will be used instead. There are also “intuitive controls”, which makes me imagine sword slashes, pointing the Wii remote to shoot the Angelic rifle and perhaps a chucking grenade motion to toss bones.
