Use your eye lasers to shoot up these Star Soldier R screens

If there's one genre we'll never tire of, it's the shoot-em-up. Or, shmup for those of you who prefer your labels to contain less syllables. It's a very accessible genre of games and one chock full of the kind of action that never bores us: shooting everything in sight.

And that's why we're psyched for Hudson's upcoming Wii Ware title, Star Soldier R. It promises lots of shooting, without the steep entrance fee of going out to buy it in the real world. Sure, we could purchase online, but you need a credit card for that. Nobody trusts us that much.

Regardless of our credit woes, be sure to head past the break for more shoot-em-up goodness from Star Soldier R. It looks like it promises lots of shooting everything on the screen.

This looks great - hopefully it'll be ready for the US at launch.

You better be able to play off of an SD card because these titles look like they are pretty big. I know you can move them to an SD card, but I just hope you don't have to keep copying it back and forth.

This is exactly what I want on WiiWare. Good shooters, experimental games and classic gameplay.

Good(?) to see this game keeps in line with all WiiWare titles looking/sounding better than actual Wii games.......

Yet it needs more. There are some important ones missing still... (I'll cut 'em some slack for getting the TGCD's "Thunder" series, though.)

Can't wait for this one. :)
