dogbert Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Eugene Jarvis is known for the likes of Defender & Robotron. He currently runs a company making new arcade games. One of which is coming to the Wii, thanks to Konami... Just what the Wii was looking for... 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 http://www.konami.com.

kelley Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Konami bring back Lethal Enforcers!!! This looks like....god I've got no words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 If that was the best arcade game of '06, arcades didn't die, they committed suicide . A Lethal Enforcers update would kick some serious ass... this, um, yes. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is my new de facto standard for what can and should be done with shooters on any system, I have a hunch this won't be ranked quite as highly.

fighting fish Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 .... boy.... I know the Wii isn't a graphics powerhouse, but I thought it could keep up with my Genesis. Is this some kind of a joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Carbine Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes, a... joke... What's that over there!! (runs to his car and drives away at top speed[/i']) I'd prefer he work on a Defender-Robotron crossover: Defendotron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
