Arcade shooter fans, rejoice. SEGA, after the successful releases of Ghost Squad, The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return and The House of the Dead: Overkill, have announced that they will be bringing two more of their arcade shooters to Nintendo Wii in a double pack: Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack.
The Saturn-era arcade shooters have been adapted for Wii, with special consideration for the use of the Wii Zapper. The games, unlike SEGA's other arcade shooters, take place in vehicles rather than on-foot, taking flying gunships to war with androids that are invading well-known locales such as New York City, Los Angeles, Alcatraz, Yosemite and Las Vegas.
Despite being a port, Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack also includes new features for Wii, such as a Chain Combo System for higher scores, and hidden extras to be uncovered by gaining different rankings. Do well and you could be using wide shots, rapid fire and heavy shots to your heart's content.
