Gameloft has just announced that it will be rolling out Wild West Guns, a compilation of shooting mini games that are set in the classic western era, and this title will be available on an exclusive basis for Nintendo’s WiiWare downloadable games service. This is the second title from Gameloft to hit the WiiWare channel, and it will be available for 1,000 Wii Points - that’s like $10 in real world currency, although I would say that you’re getting more bang for your buck these days since the US dollar has depreciated badly against other currencies since the Wii launched.

Wild West Guns allows players to experience the Gold Rush Days where danger awaits at every corner.

Players face a variety of shooting challenges that tests their accuracy and swiftness by shooting at multiple targets including objects and outlaws to earn medals, points and rewards. The title is created to complement the Wii Zapper, a device combining together the Wii RemoteTM and NunchuckTM to provide an ideal grip for shooting games.

Some of the game’s features include :-

• A realistic shooting experience that immerses players into a wild west environment
• Wii Zapper compatibility for more accurate shootings
• Choose to earn points by making shooting combos or exploring the rich settings to discover what objects will reward you with more points
• Play through six levels that feature three different challenges to unlock newer environments and enemies
• Choose to play alone and achieve your best score or in two-player mode and go head-to-head to find out who is the best shooter
• Mini-games that perfectly suit the Wii’s casual players expectations of short-but-fun-and-challenging playing sessions
• 3D environments and lively Western music and sound effects for a truly immersive experience

Hopefully there won’t be any more gun-related incidents linked to video games with titles such as these being released.
