How hard is it to make a chess game that looks good on one of the easiest consoles to develop for?
Although the screenshots did take me back to Chessmaster 3000. Ahh nostalgia.
Come on, it's chess, what do you want? High Dynamic Range lighting?
it looks a wii bit crappy from that picture
It's going to suck. Chessmaster for the DS sucked, I don't have much confidence in another chess game for a Nintendo console.
i never knew that there was a chess game on wii until now

that would be cool. the rooks should fire cannons, the knights should have swords, bishops arrows, pawns pikes, queen has arrows and a sword, and king should have a daggar. little animated battle scenes for each capture. or the chess from star wars where little monsters walk over and munch on the enemies.

They did, it was called Battle Chess. It came out in 1989 or so for DOS and a few other platforms. You can still find it on abandonware sites.
well it sucks, i have it. dont get me wrong the playing strenght is ok, at least he can beat me on levels above 5 or 6 or so i guess. but the problem is you can only choose between 10 different difficulties, you cant make the board large. so get me wrong you can only choose a level of the computer strengbht from 1 to 10, otherwise you cant regulate anything regarding the computer. you can customise the board size all you can do is choose between some sets and pieces. the openings are different, i dont really think it has a real opening book (but i can be wrong), it plays strong enough to easily beat me, but a good player probably would think otherwise. yes i think wii chess suck badly, but i liked chessmaster for the ps. the board was also to small but i like the idea of choosing many players to play against, ok chessmasters openings arent so strong but you have the feeling to play against real people, at least i do. wii chess just plays like a computer, but i still think the opponings are imperfect, even so good enough to beat me

Apparently Battle Chess came out in 1988, so I was pretty close. I have the original version which I run on my computer under DOSBox (though it tends to run really slow for some reason). Here's a Youtube video I found of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsvueBQiEZI&feature=related
I also have Battle Chess 4000 which has much better graphics and runs quite well, though the traditional medevial soldier pawns were replaced by alien looking creatures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TKSYeCSM5c
Here is a harsh review of the Wii Chess:

Do you think this is a fair assessment of the Wii Chess? What else should have been added to this game to make it better?
