Hudson Bringing Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem to WiiWare

Oooooo... I like me a good lightgun shooter. The time travel aspect sounds cool too.
Don't agree with the evolution though, but it wouldn't stop me from getting this game if I wanted to get it.

Edit: 600 points?! Count me in!

Is this a FPS or on rails? Hopefuy it'll be fun. Could be cool. They've had a couple of cool FPS already.

Seems kinda limited but ill wait for a review nontheless.

i think it looks cool

Hold the phone, i reconized this its one of seans first impressions. The press makes it sound like this games completly new. I don't like it when japan keeps a game from us for about a year. Japan got this in decemeber 2008. Seems outdated to me.

Do WANT!

All you have to do is check out the box up top that says "Release Dates" in it to see all of the places the game has been released. That's why we attach the game pages to these news items.

Rather have a spiritual sequel to E.V.O.. But I've long since accepted that that won't happen.

I really thought the WWII sequel would be out by now...maybe it got canned?

It's not an FPS, it's the spiritual offspring of Cabal and Blood Brothers -- check out your favourite arcade history book for more information!

Seeing this just makes me want Turok on VC even more

@Ezekiel: Yeah, that's what I don't get. This isn't new at all. I think the reason for the PR is because the game's slated to come out this month. 600 is a pretty good price for this.

Graphics look good enough. I think I will wait until a review or an in depth preview before making a decision on this one.

You have no idea how happy this made me, I LOVE rail shooters!!

It's an interesting concept, I'll probably have to get it when it's released.

I do love me my lightgun games!

thanks for the clarification, Sean. Now it makes sense and really is hard to describe to those who haven't played this rare game format.
I'm really excited, though, I was a cabal fanatic back in the day, especially in the arcade with the trackball, but even the nes version was pretty good with 2 player.
Anything that's even slightly like Cabal-like and has a name like "Shootanto" wins points for me as fun/repetitive/addictive, hilarious
For the uninitiated you have to look closely to see that the little monkey on the bottom of screen is actually your player and the screen stays still while you run back and forth with things coming forward at you. It's an odd but really fun format, sort of a "stand still and shoot stuff as it comes" kind of thing, with a full third person perspective. Things come in bigger and bigger waves and you may "move forward" once in a while on rails so as to change the scenery but otherwise just have one screen to move around in and fight stuff.

I'll take an on rails shooter if it has some length to it.

What is the multi-player local co-op mode like? Split screen, or everyone shooting on the same scene screen? (I don't like split screen).

Well that might be cool
Be cool to get cabal for VCA, also, speaking of it.

@dgold: Both on the same screen at once.

this looks like fun, and the fact that the gameplay is simple and it contains monkeys means that i could probably get my gf playing it, which pretty much makes it a guaranteed purchase for me

I never get tired of shooting stuff. And I always welcome something new to shoot. Hope this turns out good.

Monkeys ftw!
