Karous blasts onto the Wii

Old school gamers rejoice; vertical shoot-em-up Karous is headed for the Wii. Karous was released a couple of months ago on the Dreamcast and currently stands as the last game released on the system.We've already talked about how many classic shooters are available on the Virtual Console, so it's nice to see a new release joining the party.
The cel-shaded shooter is hardly a genre classic, but does add something a little different to the Wii's library. Who knows, if sales figures are good, a few other shmups might find their way over. Radiant Silvergun on Wii, anybody? Now we're dreaming ...
There's no release date yet, nor any confirmation of a U.S. release. Keep your itchy trigger fingers crossed.

Finally! Top down shmups are my favorite kind of games. I hope this gets a S release.
I suppose it might make more sense to try and put it out on the upcoming games channel, though.

Don't forget the (perpetually pushed-back) Gamecube version of Radio Allergy. It's "Wii compatible"!

Well, considering I'm not finding a copy of ikaruga anytime soon, this should work.

I wonder if they'll include Wii-mote controls, eh?
Anyway I'd rather this just come to the PS2 like Radilgy did since I don't own a Wii...
