Sega just love the Wii

If you were a fan of the Sega Saturn you should sit down and keep anything sharp and pointy at a safe distance before you read on because there’s some flaming hot news coming out of Sega HQ this month.

There's a very real possibility of the return of yet another underplayed, hugely loved, splendid Saturn game. Speaking to Games Radar recently, Sonic Team USA boss Takashi Iizuka hinted at a possible sequel to Burning Rangers. Iizuka said that he was fully aware of the demand for a sequel to the fire fighting classic. "It's not my title" said Takashi "but I hear there's a lot of demand for a sequel, to bring Burning Rangers to Wii so ... we'll see."

With NiGHTS just about to get his release it would be a brave gamer that put their mortgage against a new Burning Rangers game not happening.

That’s not all either because Sega, obviously taking note of the massive success of the re-released Resident Evil 4, have come to the conclusion that Wii gamers are craving survival horror games. But Sega are not content with the survival horror bandwagon and are jumping onboard the Wii Zapper Express too. Later this year we will be playing House of the Dead 2 and House of the Dead 3 on our beloved Wii. Now, I really enjoyed House of the Dead on my Dreamcast but I thinks it’s a shame Sega aren't giving us an all new House of the Dead. Better still why don't they ditch the horror stuff and give us a Wii version of Let's Go Jungle! Come on Sega! Wii Zapper + Let's Go Jungle! = Pant wettingly exciting!

Still, there's less chaffing if your pants are dry so these remakes will do for now. I'm sure HotD fans everywhere will be delighted to get the chance to play these games again on the Wii but I still can't help but think that this is an easy, money making, option for Sega. If the excitement is too much for you I'd recommend Sudocrem over Savlon any day of the week.

So there you have it; “New” House of the Dead games and the prospect of Burning Rangers Wii too. I just love Sega.

Who do you love? GAMEOV3R loved his hamster until it was eaten by his cat Continue? I told him they wouldn’t play nicely together but he wouldn't listen.
