Shikigami no Shiro Update
Coming to Wii60
Wii60 lives! (Wii60, by the way, refers to the purchase a Wii and 360; the two could, at one point, be purchased at total cost less than that of a PS3). Arc System Works and AlfaSystem are bringing the latest entry in their cult Shikigami no Shiro franchise to the two platforms, for Japanese release on 12/13.
Shikigami no Shiro III resembles past entries of the character driven scrolling shooter series, with its vertical display and anime cut-ins. This time around, players select from 10 warriors whom they directly navigate -- you'll find no ships in this game! The game includes five stages of blasting action, each cumulating in a major boss fight.
New for the home versions is a Dramatic Change Mode, where you can change between two characters on the fly. As a result of this new mode, you can now enjoy the two player exclusive scenarios from the arcade version even when playing by yourself. The home version also includes a gallery mode and, for the 360 version, score rankings via Xbox Live.
We're not sure why Arc System Works has chosen just the Wii and Xbox 360 while giving the PS3 the snub. Then again, the first game saw its home debut on the Xbox, so we're not exactly surprised by the move either.
