Destructoid gets bored of light gun shooters rather quickly, but we've always had a soft spot Sega's arcade game Brave Firefighters. It used a hose peripherals that you would aim at the screen to put out blazing fires, and yes, it was ridiculous.
While we gave up on waiting for such peripherals to come to consoles, it does look like we'll be getting close with the Epicenter Studios-developed Real Heroes: Firefighter for the Wii. The game will have you waving the Wii Remote to aim your hoses, swing axes, and tear through a burning building with a chainsaw. We're sweating just thinking about it.
If this sounds like your kind of thing -- and you can keep yourself from volunteering locally -- Real Heroes: Firefighter is scheduled for a Q2 2009 release.
GamerHome: "Unlike many other needlessly complex pseudo-simulators however, here you’ll find arcade-like elements and plenty of unique puzzles amidst fairly straightforward FPS controls."
Publisher Iceberg Interactive has today brought the critically acclaimed Real Heroes: Fire-Fighter to PC retail. Having originally debuted on Wii in 2010, Real Heroes: Fire-Fighter makes its way to PC today courtesy of Iceberg Interactive with a Nintendo 3DS version from Reef Entertainment following later this year.
Zavvi.com: "If you’re a gamer, you’ve probably spent most of 2010 being completely spoilt for choice. There have been so many fantastic games released this year that next year’s post-Christmas release drought is likely to be a very welcome period for almost everyone – as we’ll all finally have time to get stuck into everything that we missed the first time around. But even so, some of the very best games of 2010 managed to slip completely under the radar of way too many people, and here are five of our favourites that you should definitely try to make a date with as soon as possible…"
That is actually a really interesting concept!
than a rental. Should be able to get throught the game in an afternoon, if it is anything like the arcade.
for what, the N64? these graphics are horrible.
Cmon, Wii.
