The retro revival continues, this time with Konami announcing a new game in the classic horizontal scrolling shooter series Gradius exclusively for Nintendo’s WiiWare service.
Not much is known about Gradius Rebirth, except that the one screenshot shown points to a game that graphically looks very close — if slightly updated — to the original. Sounds a bit like what Capcom is doing with their upcoming looks-old-plays-new Mega Man 9.
Gradius Rebirth comes out in Japan sometime this Summer, with no word yet on pricing.
