 CASTLE OF SHIKIGAMI III ON THE  Wii™ IN THE SPRING OF 2008    


Bullet hell comes to the Wii!    


Torrance, CA (December 14, 2007) – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, is set to release Castle of Shikigami III, a vertical scrolling shoot’em-up on the Wii in the spring of 2008.    


"Caste of Shikigami is known in Japan for its lively characters and challenging difficulty.  There's just something to be said when a game paints the screen with enemy gunfire and rewards you for living life on the edge," said Michael Manzanares, Project Lead, Aksys Games. “I've always been a fan of the Shikigami series, and I'm glad we had the opportunity to bring this latest installment to the States."    


Castle of Shikigami III Features:    


• Tension Bonus System!  Your proximity to enemy units and gunfire determines your score and firepower!    


• 10 memorable characters!  Each character has their own specialized weapons and powers, anything from chain lightning to psychic blades!    


• 55 possible story combinations!  Experience a wide variety of scenarios with fully voiced dialogue!    


• 2 Player Co-op Mode!  Dodge a never-ending barrage of bullets alone or with a friend!    


• Exclusive console-only Dramatic Change Mode!  Switch between two characters in the middle of the fight to improve your chances for survival!

So, this sounds suspiciously like a Wii Ware release, but if it's on a disc I will definitely buy it.

It's a proper retail release. Aksys is shaping up to be a pretty good publisher over there it seems!
