Sweet. New levels to Speed Up and "SHOOT THE CORE" in. Well, hopefully it will be new levels. It'll probably not, but I wonder if Treasure has some input in this.
Wouldn't IT be nice if this is one of the games Treasure is working on? Definitely a Day 1 purchase for me...
What a strange unexpected turn the Wii has taken, though: The core gamers are getting all NEW versions of some classic franchises. Who saw this coming when the Wii's lifespan started? For some reason, this reminds me of the scene from Back to the Future 2 when Marty is in the future diner and plays an old 80s arcade game (Hogan's Alley, I think) to show off his skills to a bunch of kids but they get annoyed because you have to HOLD the gun to play. Although in this case you could alter the reaction to:
"You mean you push a button to jump? There's no waggle? That's ANCIENT!"
Ancient... Moai statues... Gradius... mmmm...
