Sega Bringing Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns to Wii

Are you serious? thats another arcade shooting game im looking for.I cant wait to get it

I love Sega's arcade rail shooters. I hope these're as good as Ghost Squad and HotD 2.

Artificial Intelligence! No way! That's like...intelligence that is...artificial! We might have a new and improved Skynet on our hands!

Isn't the "Gunblade" Final Fantasy's thing?

So when will Namco wise up and release a Time Crisis compilation for the Wii? They could even use the Balance Board to mimic the foot pedal.

Agree with Sabrewing: Time Crisis plox

I really wish Sega would release a compilation of Daytonas and Sega Rallys onthe Wii instead, but I'm sure I will end up picking these up too.

I'd love to see more games like Virtua Cop, and Sega Rally as cheap VC games on Wii or maybe slightly cleaned up WiiWare versions.

That would be cool.

When I read "Gunblade" I was thinking final fantasy.

....Now I'm disappointed.

I'm a big fan of Ghost Squad and I used to like House of the Dead 2 and 3 so this is good news for me

For a second there I thought these would be downloadable games

This is great and all, but when are we gonna get Virtua Cop?
And how many credits do we get this time?

As for Time Crisis, Sony may not own the series, but they probably think they do and would threaten NAMCO for even considering ports to a non-Sony console. I don't know what they could threaten then with, but they probably have enough highly-skilled lawyers to get them acquitted from assassinations even if the evidence is clear. Of course that's just speculation.

I loved these games. Sadly, this port won't have the same feel as it did in the arcades. There's nothing like holding a big gun and feeling the heavy recoil as you blasted those robots. Still, I'm looking forward to this.

never heard of either.. but i haven't gotten any yet and could still use a good rail shooter or 2 for my Wii..... and that Gunblade art looks sickly awesome!

Great! I love REAL on-rail shooters like these and not boring cartoons like DSE. I hope they bring the Virtua Cop games soon

I wish that this was Virtua Cop Collection instead... or House of the Dead 1 and 4 Return...

I've never played Gunblade, but I absolutely love LA Machineguns.
I used to play it all the time because the arcade version of it had platforms you stood on and they shook and your gun shook as you played making a giant "rumble" feedback for your whole body lol.
Oh, I guess they won't have any of that on the Wii. Oh well, depending on the price I will still get it.

I agree with Yanagi, the ports won't feel quite the same as the arcade games themselves, but I still love the fact that these great arcade shooters are making a console debut anyway.

I'm super over light gun shooters. I don't get why more publishers - especially SEGA, whose just porting most of these from weaker hardware - don't just do this for Wiiware. As a retail disc, I couldn't think of anything that would be more unattractive as a buy. But as a 10 dollar download I'd probably give it a shot. Oh well.

Oh and seriously, what's the point of the Virtual Console Arcade then? Put this stuff on THAT, Sega!

I will get this because of nostalgia. When I was in middle school my dad would always take me and my sister to the arcade and I always loved playing Gunblade NY.
