The Wii And Undiscovered Classics…

It’s nice to see someone praising the Wii. This Nintendo offering is probably the best thing to hit the gaming market, EVER! I mean that too. It’s the first thing that ever broke a sweat on my 12 year old’s game playing experience. Twiddling his PS2 controller has never done the slightest thing for his exercise needs. But the Wii does!

If there’s one thing the Wii has plenty of, it’s scrolling shooters, vertical and horizontal. Thanks to the Virtual Console, the Wii has probably the best library of shmups in history. You can go play something like Lords of Thunder or Blazing Lazers right now without even having to go to a store first. That’s pretty compelling.

Which means that original disc-based shooters actually face a lot of competition from the VC. If you’re just now discovering that you love shooters, you can get some of the best ones ever made for a few bucks. That could mean trouble for Castle of Shikigami III, Monkey King and Blast Works.

Who doesn’t love shooters? I mean, John Wayne in Stagecoach… ah, wrong shooter… But the shoot em up games were there at the beginning. It’s good to know that they are still there and going strong. What is it about us humans that we want to shoot things? We’re a pretty mean bunch when you think about it…

If you like shooters, are you content with the vintage offerings? Do you feel that there’s enough of a reason to continue checking out the new games, or have you been reveling in undiscovered classics?

Both, really. There’s a place for everything, with everything in its place, or something like that. I love rediscovering undiscovered classics that I once discovered so long ago that I had forgotten. Don’t you?
