Gameloft's third WiiWare title was first listed on the ESRB website, but it is Japanese magazine Famitsu who gives the shooting game a release date and price. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=16291 A recent issue of Famitsu contained the first details of the upcoming WiiWare game Wild West Guns, tucked into the bottom-right corner of a page. Developed by Gameloft, Wild West Guns is a gallery-style shooting game where the player acts "as a wild west gunman" and picks off targets in a traditional western setting. Wild West Guns will also support up to four players working cooperatively to "destroy the enemy." Famitsu labels the game with a July 22 release date in Japan and a price of 1000 Wii Points.
Wild West Guns first appeared when the title received an ESRB rating (Teen – for violent content) which was summarily listed on the ESRB website. However, a search conducted through Gameloft's website yielded no information on the game or previous titles. This could mean that, unlike Gameloft's cell phone port of Block Breaker Deluxe, Wild West Guns looks to be an original title. It will be Gameloft's third addition to the WiiWare library in as many months.
