Saturn as powerful as Wii? Area 51 thinks so.

I hope this game sells 10,000,000 copies.

God I'd KILL for Area 51 on the Wii.

I love how this is a sign of Konami's impending bankruptcy.

That's MGS4 graphics for the Wii.

I won't deny that this games looks like crap. Hell porting the arcade version of the Lethal Enforcers games would look better and probably be more appreciated. But this is an arcade port and though I had search around a bit for screens of the arcade version that graphics look equally crappy. This version looks arcade perfect. I don't expect them to make the graphics better for the home version.

I am irritated that Konami's support of the Wii continues to be lame sauce. We just aren't getting the big titles from Konami (or pretty much anyone else. STILL. After no one could even find a Wii this Christmas a WHOLE YEAR after launch) and until we do any game they announce isn't going to impress me. This isn't even an original game. It's an arcade port probably handled by the most junior team at the company or off sourced to someone else. Considering that non-music based arcade games aren't really that popular anymore it feels like a cheap cash-in.

Though since Eugene Jarvis designed it it might be pretty good. I don't know because I don't go to arcades anymore because they're too expensive and they suck.

IanSane, you're the last person I expected to find a silver lining in this.

If you guys read a single post in this thread, read this one.

Just FYI to those not in the know, Target: Terror came out in arcades a few years ago and is from the same place (starring Eugene Jarvis lol) responsible for putting out The Fast and the Furious arcade game, which, hilariously, was just a knock off of Cruis'n. And then was later ported to the Wii as the new Cruis'n. Oh god, the lols.

And, yeah, Target: Terror features the nicest digitized characters ever, but by jove everybody sensible quit using digitized sprites in the 90s. It's an okay arcade game as it's a gun game you can play for a long time on one quarter, but being a bargain light gun game won't port well to the home version, I'm sure.

In motion, it looks way better than any digitized game ever, especially Lethal Enforcers. But jesus who cares

With a keen eye for details, one truth prevails

NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Jarvis is the biggest has-been since Romero, the difference is he doesn't have the name recognition. Unless you really, really like Robotron, Cruis'n, and Target Terror I guess. There's also been a funhouse banner about this game for like two years

Found it!

Konami sprung their April Fools joke early this year to make sure we were caught off guard.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2008, 12:08:42 PM »

Yeah but Nintendo announced the console's name as "Wii" and it turned out to be the real thing.

You know, I kinda liked Jonny linking this on a NeoGaf topic, makes our little community feel less insular.

Hahahaha oh my God I love you again Konami! DAY ONE!

darknight06 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 03, 2008, 02:04:25 PM »

Now that I think about it, I'm actually kinda surprised Midway didn't bring this one over, considering that Cruis'n was made by the same group. Midway must think they can't strike lightning twice on the Wii or something.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 03, 2008, 03:42:19 PM »

This is obviously a DAY ONE PURCHASE .... W/ STRATEGY GUIDE!!!! :

Midway probably lost the bidding war to Konami. They just don't have $70 lying around.

oohhboy · « **Reply #42 on:** January 03, 2008, 06:42:58 PM »

What the holy hell is that?!? I mean there is a killing to be made in light gun games like Virtual Cop and the Time Crisis series, but what in all that is holy is that? I mean I played Lethal Enforcers back on the SNES in the early 90's and we collectively moved away from bloody digitized crap pretty soon after.

Konami, I know it is the New Years and you are still drunk, but please stop exposing yourself in public until your sober.

Why are you sorry to Infernal?

Those youtube vids he has up (I assume it's the same Infernal) made my day yesterday when I found that gaf thread.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #46 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:38:40 AM »

Ian Sane · « **Reply #47 on:** January 04, 2008, 04:41:32 AM »

"Jarvis is the biggest has-been since Romero, the difference is he doesn't have the name recognition."

To be fair I haven't had the chance to notice since the last Jarvis game I played came out in like 1990.

Crimm · « **Reply #48 on:** January 04, 2008, 05:53:01 AM »

I think we're going to need to add an award to our yearly segment: Biggest slacker (Wii)

Adrock hit it right on the head. Seriously, you all whine about how the graphics are so bad....it's a rail shooter! And for the ones that said Konami is trying to drag the Wii under...how exactly is Konami doing that by porting one of the most popular arcade games of 2006? Granted, you are absolutely right, the graphics look cheesy, but go play the arcade game. It's exactly the same (as it is meant to be). The fun of target terror is not the FMV actors. It's the exploding turkeys, the hot chicks in leather, the terrorists trying to dump toxic waste on innocents, and the shocker zapping the crap out of a terrorist until he/she explodes. This game came from Raw Thrills and Eugene Jarvis. If you don't know who he is, look him up in a search engine and it won't take you long to understand exactly what this game is all about.

They have already made drinking games based on this game, or at least I found 2 on kotaku.com (comment 171 or so). I really think this game is gonna have a huge impact on US and overseas sales and for those of you that just cant buy it because the graphics are below your standards, well you will miss out. Your friends will play it and they will love it but you stick to your guns because I am sure that high def Wii game that is up to your graphical standards is just right around the corner.
