Bleach: Shattered Blade came out the same day as Bleach: Blade of Fate did for the DS on October 10th 2007. Although they are two entirely different games.

The story for Shattered Blade takes place shortly after the Soul Society Arc but before Ichigo and Co. return to the human world. You can play as several different characters for the episodes (including the bad guy). But for every episode the plot is the same. You play (insert character here) as they try to collect the Sōkyoku Shards for their own unique purposes.

The villain is a specially made character named Arturo Plateado who is trying to trick the other characters into collecting the shards so he can regain full power and destroy the Soul Society. He looks alot like Grimmjow but has a longer mask piece and longer hair.

To play you stab, slash, or chop the Wiimote to get corrisponding moves from your characters. Pressing A or B while doing this lets your characters do special moves. To move the character you use your nunchuck, C makes you run faster and Z is used for blocking. Attacking and being attacked will fill up a gauge at the bottom of the screen, when it's full you can shake the nunchuck and send your character into their powered up state.

There are about 32 playable characters for Arcade Mode.
