KONAMI BRINGS OLD-SCHOOL ARCADE ACTION TO THE NINTENDO WII™ WITH TARGET: TERROR™

First Konami Title Compatible with Wii Zapper™ Peripheral, Features Fast-Paced Run ‘N’ Gun Action, Dual Wielding and Fun Mini-Games

El Segundo, CA – January 3, 2007 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced that Target: Terror™ is currently in development for the Nintendo Wii™. The game is based on Target: Terror Gold, the top-grossing arcade game of 2006 and designed by arcade pioneer Eugene Jarvis, founder of Raw Thrills, Inc., the developer of Big Buck Hunter PRO.

Target: Terror is the first game from Konami that will be compatible with Nintendo’s new Wii Zapper™; players will be able to capture the old-school flavor of fast-paced light gun shooters from gaming’s glory days of the arcades. Target: Terror puts players in the role of an elite counter-terrorist agent charged with protecting the U.S. from an ever-increasing wave of terrorist threats.

With a full-scale assault spanning the entire nation, players can show these terrorist thugs who’s boss, using an assortment of lethal weapons including machine guns, grenade launchers, freeze guns, flamethrowers and even an orbital laser beam from space. Target: Terror also features a unique “Justice Mode," allowing players to dual-wield weapons for twice the mayhem.

Target: Terror also features an unlockable offering of fun and humorous mini-games inspired by a variety of arcade classics.

Developed by Leviathan Games, Target: Terror is expected to explode onto the Wii in Q1 of 2008. For more information, visit the website at www.konami.com.

Oh wow. And people said Ghost Squad looked bad. Konami isn't even trying.

Dear Konami,

DO NOT WANT. Bring back Lethal Enforcers and/or Silent Scope or bust. I want to see Kairon's reaction more than anything.

Konami has crossed the line between not supporting the Wii and actively trying to destroy the Wii. Considering the low sales of the PS3 and the huge losses Sony take on the rare occasion they actually sell one you'd think their moneyhat budget would be running out by now.

I can't wait.

This is so true. Why does Konami hate Nintendo so much? I thought that things were improving... I didn't know that they would become the new Squaresoft!

ROFL it looks like those super OLD low budget "shooters" that put real people into crappy backgrounds, then brag about how real the characters look. Konami should be flat out ASHAMED.

Crimm · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2008, 07:18:51 AM »

I am reminded of Sylvester Stallone's glorious addition to gaming: Judge Dread for the arcades.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2008, 07:22:40 AM »

couldn't they have just made this a WiiWare game?

Konami is bitter. BITTER. Nintendo must have killed their dog and slapped their momma.

Ahahah I think this looks fantastic.

This would be instant win if the game ended up being fun to play. I don't like playing bad games, but I'll play a good game that looks bad if only to laugh at how crappy it looks.

vudu · « **Reply #22 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:33:10 AM »

I can't even tell which is the Wii game and which is the DS game!

Kairon · « **Reply #23 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:40:26 AM »

Apparently, gamestop has this listed at $39.99. I'm sorry, but I'm expecting to pay Ninjabread Man prices for this, or even Ghost Squad prices, but there's no way I'm going to pay Zack & Wiki prices for this!!!

Once again, one company sees another doing something and the rest start following suit. In this case it seems to be for the worse.
What makes this so bad is that Target Terror wasn't even a good arcade game. The crap sits in the corner of our arcade doing absolutely NOTHING but show its attract mode all day.
What also kills me is that the graphics haven't been touched in the slightest. The Wii could run circles around this crap, it's that old.

Edit: Apparently I haven't been paying attention to that section of the arcade too much, I was only aware of the original, not Gold. According to my brother who works there, that machine does make a killing in revenue on average. The original Target Terror didn't do all that much here, but Target Terror Gold is a big moneymaker. Maybe we might have something here, if the game is liked as much in the arcades as it seems to be around here it may not do all that bad when it gets home. I can still picture Konami ROFL about doing this knowing it's going to fund their next hi-def project.
