If you want to sword fight "realistically", go out, buy a sword and join a sword-fighting club.

Darn, why do people try to solve everything with technology when there is a simple solution in the physical world!?

No matter how they dice it or slice it (ah ah), it's not going to end up "realistic" for anyone who has used a sword before.

I think this game and controller is targeted at the superset of people who was to sword fight "realistically" while playing a fun game, without all the bruises and sore muscles and years of training that accompany using a real sword.

So once I learn how to realistically fight with a sword in your club I'll be able to go out and fight a dragon? And if I'm not as good as I thought and get killed by the dragon will it just end the.... oh wait, there's no game. Seems like your solution isn't as flexible as the technological one.
