Rygar: The Battle for Argus - Trailer

Tecmo has a new Action-Adventure scheduled to kickoff 2009. Rygar: The Battle for Argus is slated for Feb 09 release on the Wii. If the name sounds familiar it should. Twenty-plus years ago Tecmo released Rygar on the NES, and it was one of those games the rich kid on the block had that you always wanted - like Mike Tyson’s Punchout.

Here’s the trailer for the newest Action-Adventure game scheduled to hit the Wii.
