Downgrade Alert! WiiWare’s Shootanto sequel ditches T-Rexes for Nazis

January 31st, 2009 by Xav de Matos

In December, Shootanto hit Japan’s WiiWare service; a shooter that pits a pair of monkeys against a plethora of prehistoric baddies armed with magical coconuts. Yes, that sentence just happened. Take it all in. Not content with releasing one insanely ridiculous title, developer Grand Prix is back with the upcoming WiiWare sequel, Shootanto: Miraihen (Shootanto: Future Chapter).

Where will the (almost guaranteed to be Japanese exclusive) WiiWare title be set? Will it be a horrific future or maybe a land where man battles beast? Not quite. Shootanto: Future Chapter brings the shooter into the World War II setting. Honestly, we’re thankful. We were getting tired of those “monkey throwing magical coconut” titles. Time they focus on a setting that doesn’t get a lot of video game love.
