and two-player versus mode were shown off but there are "other new exciting battle modes."

Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 will support the Classic Controller and the GameCube Wavebird controller, but it seems the Wii Remote and Nunchuk will be just as accessible.

There seemed to be very distinct motions being put forward to execute some of the more powerful and charged-up moves, which should help make it more accessible for the age range for which Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 is targeted.
