Gradius is reborn on WiiWare
Konami announced that Gradius ReBirth will hit the Japanese WiiWare service this summer. We really don't know much about the game, but the lone screenshot (above) shows that the classic sprites will be returning. What else do you need to know, though, other than that it's Gradius? As long as the price is right, this is likely a "must buy" for shoot 'em up fans.

If you made the argument that the Wii didn't need anymore side-scrolling shooters, you would be silly. One of the reasons I am still very happy with my Wii is that it is such a great system for shmups. Bring on Gradius ReBirth!

That's really cool! This is the first WiiWare/VC game I've been genuinely excited about in awhile now. Gradius III is a wonderful shooter experience - certainly one of my favorites. I'm eagerly awaiting this new entry into the series.

Maybe this will play like Gaiden? It certainly looks like Gaiden.
If it plays like Gaiden, I will buy it 5 times.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I played the CRAP out of Gradius III on the SNES. I'd like to find out if I still got my chops.

AW. Being a WiiWare hater is harder now. Seriously, Gradius Rebirth sounds amazing. Won't be as amazing if it's available on the other consoles, but amazing nonetheless.
