Tournament of Legends

Tournament of Legends is a fighting video game developed by High Voltage Software for the Wii console.

Players gesture using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to initiate horizontal and vertical attacks, as well as execute quick-time events to avoid taking damage from periodic stage hazards.

[2] Tournament of Legends uses an updated version of High Voltage's Quantum3 engine in use in their games The Conduit and The Grinder, which was also presented at E3 2009 alongside an early version of Legends, titled Gladiator A.D., which was much different than the final product, particularly with respect to age-appropriateness, theme and accessory support.

Before Gladiator was retitled Legends, it employed a visual style not dissimilar to the film 300, including the use of slow motion during power attacks.

[2] Pursuing a more grounded, realistic and mature approach to the premise of gladiator combat, the game was planned to employ attacks and finishing moves with graphic violence consistent with the ESRB's Mature rating, as well as support the Wii MotionPlus for true-to-life motion controls.

Tournament of Legends went through a radical change in style in February 2010
