A Man, A Banjo and Space Shooter for WiiWare

Classic Kemco SNES space shooter Phalanx is heading to WiiWare as a remake.

Known for a bizzare boxart of a totally-irrelevant man sitting with his banjo, the space shooter was a fairly lukewarm hit back on the 16-bit SNES, and also received a port on the GameBoy Advance back in 2001.

The game will come in at 500 Wii points, boasting enhanced visuals and sound. Don't remember Phalanx, here's a quick recap with footage of the SNES version in all its glory:
