Off to See the Wizard

Remember that DS Wizard of Oz RPG being developed by Media.Vision? Called Riz-Zoawd? Sure you do! Well, D3 Publisher (the game's publisher, imagine that) has just released a new trailer showing off how the gameplay will work.

As you will see in the trailer, movement around the Kingdom of Oz is handled via a "track ball" present on the touch screen. Spinning the track ball faster will make Dorothy move faster (what a concept!).

In addition to the track ball, the game's turn-based battle system will also be completely controlled via the touch screen, so you won't have to fiddle with any of those cumbersome buttons.

You can check the video out for yourself below (thanks Gamekyo).



I'm still not too sure about 100% touch-screen games, but I really like the story behind The Wizard of Oz, so here's hoping Media.Vision gets in right with Riz-Zoawd.

Thoughts?
