Rumor: Wii to suffer like G did
What makes this rumor more plausible is a Gamefly listing for The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. Gamefly tends to be right about these unannounced games! If this is true, we will absolutely buy The House of the Dead 2 again, with III (which saw a home release on the Xbox) as a bonus.
Psst, Sega ... if you do get House of the Dead 2 running on the Wii: may we remind you that the Wii supports USB keyboards?

Add USB keyboard support and a Typing of the Dead option and I'm sold, otherwise, no thanks.

Yes! Keyboard Supported by Wii! Give me some typing of the dead!

Man, I remember pumping so many quarters into these arcade games. I'd definitely find a way to get this if released.

Seems Joystiq has confirmed that this is a real game. They contacted Sega, who said they will make an official announcement later. This is great because I really want a GOOD port of these games that can be played with a GOOD lightgun/lightgun-like device. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/15/house-of-the-dead-2-and-3-wii-vived-in-early-08/

Oh ho ho! This rumour is delicious indeed. There should be a LOT of guncon ports, they're the only really acceptable ports for the Wii, Arcade guncon to Wii.

1st: Best. Headline. EVER. lmao
2nd: HELL YES to HotD 2&3 on the Wii. I love me me some gun games, and with Umbrella Chronicles and Ghost Squad on the way, this is a very welcome addition.
3rd: Typing of the Dead is quite simply the BEST edutainment title to ever come out, and the only reason I still have my Dreamcast hooked up to my TV. I would give one of my livers to have this one the Wii. (I can get by with one.)

Blew 20 dollars on it on a carnival cruise.
Couldn't get more than that per day without parental approval, and my dad is a jack thompson fan.

I've been wanting for Typing of the Dead since the moment they announced keyboard support. Seriously, go look.

I think that would be the greatest compilation ever if they included Typing of the Dead.
Otherwise, it still looks pretty cool and I hope it is fun to play. I really hope the Wii turns out to be good for lightgun games because there is so much potential there.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with everyone else that this should also include Typing of the Dead...it's the game that keeps making me buy a new Dreamcast everytime my old one breaks (I'm on number 5 now, yay!).
harknell @ Nov 16th 2007 8:26AM
Why don't they ever include HOTD 1????? I love that version also and it was only released for the Saturn and a crappy PC port.

@14
Sega is lazy is the main reason. Back when HOTD 2 was being ported to Dreamcast they were in fact working on an unlockable port of HOTD 1 in the Dreamcast version.
It had so many glitches, and they wanted to have HOTD 2 out near Dreamcast's release date, they scrapped it.
I'm a HUGE House of the Dead fan and owned the shitty Sega Saturn port. I really wish they would give HOTD 1 the port it deserves, but with this annoucement it just seems like it's never going to happen.
