Here are some new images of Starfish's Wii 2D shooting game Shin Chuuka Taisen: Michael to Meimei no Bouken [New Cloud Master: Adventure of Michael and Meimei], the sequel to Taito's classic shooter form 1988. This time the game supports 2 players simultaneously, and you can tilt the Wii Remote to adjust the flying speed of your character.

It's coming out stateside as Monkey King: The Legend Begins. The date is probably placeholder but it's November 1st. There's heavy rumors of that Kai Kai World game being released on Wii and being published in the US by UFO interactive.

Woah, nice to see that the Wii is so successful in the US that garage third parties are even bringing obscure japanese games to North American shores that would have probably never landed here otherwise.

no, because it has waggle controls. if they'd stuck with a d-pad and a fire button, i'd probably pick it up -- four years from now, when i get a wii for $40 sans wii sports!

"you can tilt the Wii Remote to adjust the flying speed of your character."

thats such a fucking minor thing though.  You'll buy it and then be to ashamed to post about it in the what did you buy today threads.

yet another quality game concept destroyed by shit controls

(this happened with LAIR too, Corny, so it's not just anti-Wii sentiment)

waggle = fail
pointing is okay.

Hey, where'd you learn about this game, I wonder.

Also, there's this.

and that


it appears the new Pocky & Rocky game might be still alive.
watch this story end up on minor, and perhaps major game sites within the day.

Alright, the waggle in the monkey king game is kinda silly, but looks like the Wii is gonna become the platform of choice for shooter devs. I had a feeling that would happen.
