Nintendo Media | Fresh Radio Allergy Screens (Space Shooter, GameCube)

Many may believe the GameCube is a dead system, but Zelda sold over half a million in December alone in the US proving otherwise. Therefore, O3 is set to capitalise on this with Radio Allergy, a new space shooter for the GC.

The arcade shooter game for the Nintendo GameCube is scheduled to launch in February. Featuring three different gameplay modes, Radio Allergy is a modern day revival to the classic arcade style shooters like Gradius and R-Type. Keen to drive sales further, o3 makes mention of how Radio Allergy takes full advantage of backwards compatibility, being playable on the new Wii console.

Mike Pepe, Product Manager O3 Entertainment, had this to say:

"Radio Allergy is perfect for the arcade shooter fans, and is easy to pick up and learn for the every day gamer. With a full arsenal of weapons at your control, players will love the explosions, power-ups, and story line in Radio Allergy."

Developed by Milestone Inc., who also did O3's other GC space shooter release Chaos Field, Radio Allergy sets the heroine, Shizuru Kamigusa against a ruthless group of terrorists. Shizuru must utilise her portable terminal suit to defeat the terrorists and their leader Ruiki Mishima. This shooter offers three game modes: Arcade, Score, and 'Full Belly'. Arcade and Score allow players to follow the story and the missions that go with them, whilst in 'Full Belly' mode, the portable terminal suit is given maximum power and unleashes droves of damage against non-stop enemies causing even larger explosions.

More information on the game can be found at O3's official website.
