EA released a new trailer today (embedded after the break) for their upcoming Godfather Wii remix, The Godfather Blackhand Edition. As you can imagine, the motion-sensing version supports elbow throwing, pimp slapping, choking, and other popular terrorizing techniques used by the mafia in 1940's New York. You can even throw an empty beer bottle at some pitiful mug's head. The game's senior producer, Joel Wade, hypes the controls to IGN:"The Blackhand combat system feels so natural and intuitive on the Wii controllers-- people are going to have a fantastic time "convincing" shop owners to pay protection money, and delivering beat-downs to rival family gangsters. If people think Wii Sports boxing is a blast, imagine taking out a baseball bat to "un-even" the odds... or even grabbing your opponent by the lapels and throwing him through a window."
So good ole fashioned button pressing rough-ups and homicides have now become a physical affair. Oh this is going to turn out well ... "This sort of thing used to be civilized. You'd hit a guy, he'd whack you, done." Not anymore, says EA.
