Yukinko Daisenpuu [Wii]

There are some impressions, photos, and a stage 1 youtube video of this action/shooting game in here:

The game looks okay, but actually a bit like a Super Famicom game with more sprites. Overall, it's pretty interesting (or amazing?) that such a game can still get a full retail release on a modern console. I may pick it up out of curiosity. The bad thing is it seems you need to swing the Wiimote around whenever you want to trigger a combo, and that can get old really fast.

Here's the official website, by the way:

Hopefully it shapes up where you can use the Classic or Gamecube controller.  I tend to get frustrated at the games that force you to use the damn wiimote/nunchuck combo.  Its a gimmick that is starting to get quite old I feel.

I'm hoping this one turns out a little better than Starfish's other Wii release...  I'm not sure how much I can appreciate one company raping my childhood memories of two fairly well respected arcade games.  

I completely forgot that this was being released in December.  With UFO interactive bringing it stateside, I'm not sure if I want to wait for them (which could be a long wait) or go ahead and order it...

I heard it's a pretty crappy game. So don't get your hopes up too high.
