We rejoiced when we heard about Sega's House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. Yes, they're ports, but they're awesome ports of classic shooting games on the only system that doesn't require extra hardware to play them. Luckily, the filthy undead care only for chowing down on brainmeats and have no patience for economics, thus allowing the game to sell for a mere $30. That's the same price as Ghost Squad, but with two awesome shooters on the disc. We think it's cheap enough for previous owners to pick up just for the convenience of the wireless "gun." And let's be honest -- when it comes to Sega, ports are often preferable to new games.

Well now I have a problem, I'd love to pickup the zapper and HOTD, but I also want Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3.

It's not a problem. That's why there's Santa Clause, silly!
Haha, but have your main focus be on getting SMG. It's amazingly amazing. The last game I played and had as much fun on was in Sonic Adventure on the DC. Ahhh memories. :)

I dream of the day when there are no ports left and they have to start making new games. (except sega, you're right)

Some ports I don't mind. There are tons of games out there that I've never played so if they port them over, I'm all for it.

And since the Wii now has keyboard support, will we see Typing Of The Dead anytime soon?

As a hidden bonus in HOTD 2&3 perhaps?

I'd rather download each game for 1500 Wii points.

Ports are only preferrable here because the Wii can't handle the newest House of the Dead game...
Though it's still annoying not to have the first game. I'd hope it appears in WiiWare eventually; hopefully updated a bit.

Both are only $30 a pop? That's one hell of a deal! I enjoyed Ghost Squad in the few arcades I found it in (they closed of course). I'll be stoked if TotD or HotD 1 are in any way unlockable.

I'm in total rail-shooter mode right now! I can't wait for this to come out! Ghost Squad is so awesome, and plus it has ZOMBIES in it, which makes it like twice as awesome as Ghost Squad!!
