A Japan/Asian region coded Xbox 360 is *the* system for shooter enthusiasts. But, the Wii isn’t a bad alternative with a host of virtual console games, Gradius ReBirth, and sporadic releases from Milestone. They bundled three of their arcade games together as Milestone Shooting Collection Karous Wii – aka Ultimate Shooting Collection when it gets [...]

Unlike the forgotten Wii Zapper, developers are rushing to utilize the Wii Balance Board. Milestone got an idea that gamers in Japan want to master Hula dancing with it. Hawaii has always been a popular destination for Japanese tourists, but, seriously, Hula Wii is several degrees of separation away from Ultimate Shooting Collection. Japan gets [...]

Last year at E3, Nintendo’s yearly release calendar leaked Crows was coming to the Wii care of O3 Entertainment. Earlier this year, Milestone Shooting Collection came out in Japan and few people seemed to notice it missed its launch date. The trio of shoot ‘em ups included on the disc were all released for the [...]

If you were hunting down a copy of Karous Wii, sorry that’s Milestone Shooting Collection Karous Wii, last week you’re probably empty handed without an explanation.

Milestone still hasn’t unveiled Karous as a Wii game, but Arcade Renaissance points out Rakuten, a Japanese retailer spilled the goods. Karous will add in light motion control plus two other games. Radio Allergy (Radilgy) and [...]

Now that Karous is out the Dreamcast release schedule is dormant again, but after its "death" the Dreamcast has become the de facto system for shmups. Kurt Kalata who  maintains Hardcore Gaming 101 (and also writes for Siliconera) takes a look back at a sizeable list of shmups starting with Border Down, which has branching [...]

Milestone’s Gamecube shoot ‘em up, Radio Allergy (Radiligy –GeneriC-) is going to be delayed until March 20, 2007. It looks as if Radio Allergy is going to fall into the budget price point. Amazon is selling the game for only $19.99, but no other online retailers have confirmed this price.  Gamestop doesn’t have the game [...]
