You know what the Wii needs? More scrolling shooters. So severe is the Wii's lack of shmups, in fact, that a homebrewer called nuvalo has ported the open-source version of the classic shareware shmup Tyrian to the Wii. The vertical shooter Tyrian was originally released by Epic MegaGames (back when they were best known for things like Jill of the Jungle and the Jazz Jackrabbit games) in 1995, but has since been released as a free, open project. It was recently ported to the DS as well.Okay, so there are a lot of shmups on the Wii. But this one has the important distinction of being free.
