Leading game developer and publisher Konami is bringing a coin-operated arcade favorite to Nintendo’s Wii console with the relaunch of Target: Terror. The gonzo 2004 game from developer Raw Thrills features images of George W. Bush and Osma Bin Laden, and depicts airplanes crashing into the White House. Konami’s version, which hits retail on March 18, will probably be a bit more reverent.
Target: Terror puts the player in the role of an elite anti-terrorist agent who is charged with protecting the U.S. from all terrorist activities. With a full-scale assault spanning the entire U.S., gamers work to eliminate the seemingly endless waves of enemies with an assortment of high-tech weapons. A special edition titled Target: Terror Gold rewarded arcade players with medals and bonus mini-games.
On the Wii, the shooting action will be enhanced with the Wii Zapper, which stands in for the arcade light-gun. The game will also offer ‘Justice Mode,’ a new, single player experience that allows the use of two guns for gun fights right out of an action movie. Unlockable mini-games will add a humor as they creatively reinterpret many classic games.
