  It&apos;s not surprising that Ubisoft never set its sights on a Red Steel VR given how the games performed, but you can 100% just <i>see</i> that kinda game sitting firmly alongside the early Oculus/PSVR/Vive lineups.

  i remember the original red steel having diverse level layouts and themes, interesting combat, fun visuals and decent music. I wouldn&apos;t recommend it to anyone

  “I’m taking this all the way to my Prime Minster” is the most Aussie joke ever and I love it

  Red Steel 2 is genuinely some of the most fun I&apos;ve ever had on the Wii. It really is a shame that I was so short.

  Red Steel 2 has to be one of my favourite games ever made. I don&apos;t know how to describe it.

  Despite all of Red Steel&apos;s Short Comings, I Love that Game.

  Red Steel 2 was one of my favorite Wii games and one of the last i remember actually buying at a gamestop shortly after i switched full bore into PS3, the samurai cowboy aesthetic is so raw

  I remember being on a press event for the first game, back when I was working at a videogame website. We sat in a room with a bunch of journalists, and they asked who wants to try the game first and I jumped out of my seat. Remember, the Wii wasn&apos;t out yet, and the promise of it was fascinating. I wanted to try it out immediately.

  my bro left his Wii at home when he was in Uni for a couple weeks for me and I loved this game and vibe. This game is very janky but if u master the jankyness its actually really fun

  You do look good with that mustache! Glad to have you as guest on your show ahah. Amazing video as always. You are my favorite video game centered channel on YouTube. Cheers m8 looking forward to the next one! <br><br>PS: it seems like Red Steel 1 would make an amazing game if someone would port it to Half Life Alyx engine. It almost seems like it was designed for VR before VR really existed. I like even a decade later vr games like superhot took way less risks than red steel. You truly hit the nail here: ubisoft designed the game for the console we wanted, not the one we got.

  This franchise could totally re-emerge on VR platforms and probably find moderate success
