Holy what playstation wii controller? WANT.
This game looks really cool, I've been waiting for a wii title to catch my eye for a while, thanks for sharing! You mention that the gameplay is a real gem to the game, but you don't really go into what it's all about... I'd love to hear an account from someone who seems to know a bit about the series and has played the demo a little bit - what is the object of the gameplay and what makes the gameplay mechanic so successful?
Thanks Dead Bob

The gameplay is best described as and action adventure experience. Its best played with a group of friends, and supports up to 4 players in a mission. But if you look at the pic with the raptor looking creature (The great Jaggi from the demo) you will see that giant sword the character is holding.
On the PS2 version the right analog stick controlled witch direction you swung your sword, and he really has to put some backbone into it! The attacks can be strung into a combo, but try to swing it in a direction that doesnt keep your momentum and you break your flow. Each weapon type has a different style to it and speed.
There is no locking on, and there is a bit of skill required in not getting hit by enemies. Usually blocking or rolling can be used and sometimes if done properly wont even break your flow.
The point of the game is to collect the materials to build better weapons and armor to challenge to most legendary creatures in the game. The materials are collected in the levels and from the monsters you slay, as well as the money needed from the creatures bounty. Many smaller monsters can take a while to kill, but in the PS2 version creatures like Lou Shun took 4 players 45 minutes to kill.

They may be pushing back the release date even more now, closer to the 20th. Not sure, if someone can confirm this that would save me some digging.
Here is a pretty good video that will show you basically what to expect:

Make sure to watch the whole thing, as they segment the vid, the first is cinema of the characters and towns, then gameplay, then the world/monsters.

Bob, the demo doesn't hit gamestop until March 8th.
Retailer GameStop will also be releasing an exclusive demo disc of the game on March 8 that's free for anyone who walks in and wants it. As a GameStop preorder bonus, you'll also receieve a 500 Wii Points card when you put your money down. Two quests will be playable in the demo

It shipped the feb 26th to gamestop, maybe they give that date so that it has time to reach all the locations. I have had mine since yesterday.
So yes, it would be a good idea to call and see if your local gamestop has a copy. Maybe the March 8th date includes other retailers or something, because its odd they would say that.
If you don't believe me:

I'll call/stop by my local gamestop today (Tuesday) or tomorrow (Wednesday) and edit this post with my story. *fingers crossed*
EDIT: when I said by today or tomorrow over a week ago what I meant to say was next week when I'm on break.
