Sega of America recently revealed that it was underway with a Wii version of Ghost Squad, an arcade-based light-gun shooter refitted for Nintendo's new remote. Players become a member of an elite squad sent out to take down terrorists. The action unfolds on rails and gamers need only point and shoot with the Wii remote to eliminate the bad guys. IGN caught up with the title's creative producer, Yosuke Okunari, to chat about the game.
"You might think it is a very specific kind of madness that I bought a Wii U in the winter of 2017, but it was with good reason. While many people are off gallivanting with their Nintendo Switches and making all kinds of hot passionate love with its many critically acclaimed releases, I was delving into Nintendo’s motion-controlled past. One of the many games worth mentioning is Ghost Squad for the Wii."
"Every action mattered in Ghost Squad. Players needed to rely on each others accuracy. Adjust your shot on the fly, using the gun peripheral." -KJ of Play Legit Writes
Even ten years on, Ghost Squad remains one of the very best videogames of its kind.
