If Nintendo’s very own Wii Chess wasn’t all you were hoping for, perhaps the latest third party effort will be enough to satiate your need for a little virtual board game action. Destination Software’s dramatically titled Chess Crusade will be released in North America next month on July 22.

Sporting a more impressive, fairytale-esque looks compared to its no frills rival on the console, Wii Crusade, it seems, will feature animations when players take one another’s pieces. Doesn’t look too bad actually.
