OK, Conrad wasn't doing jumping jacks of joy after he got his hands on a preview build of the Wii-exclusive Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop at CES. If anything, there has been some good to come out of Capcom's decision to port over the Xbox 360 title -- the punk rock song and video by Japanese band GaGaGa Special.
While the clip itself isn't new, but the subtitles Capcom added for the CES trailer are. As expected, the lyrics are as ridiculous as the concept itself, with game references like "If you want to survive for 72 hours you'd better pray." And the now classic, "You're in a zombie hell and you've got to save your friends."
Really, the only thing I understand in the entire video is the repeated shouts of "Dead Rising!" This translation could be totally off, but it's making me smile enough that it's not even worth arguing over if it is.
It won't be long before Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop hits shelves on February 24. I'll be honest and say that after spending some time with the game, I'm not entirely sold that it has any real reason to be on the Wii. With that said, I really can't help myself from wanting to pick up a copy. Because really, when is slaughter a room full of zombies with a lawn mower not fun?
I fear the trailer might be the best thing about this whole game, sure hope to be wrong though :-) Some of the ideas they put intot he Wii-clone sound pretty good :-)
hopefully somehow they fixed the save system. And also, I have beef with Dead Rising. You can't pick up the lawnmower and use it like the movie Dead Alive (or the original title of it, I can't remember for the life of me right now). Now that would be sweet on the 360. On the Wii, you'd cut like 10 zombies, and then have to put it down to go inside to fight GASP 15 zombies.

You're right. I'm wrong. Made the change. I fail!
I think it may have just taken the top spot in my long list of favorite songs about videogames (previously held by the end credits theme of God Hand).
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
"You're in a zombie hell! You've got to save your friends!"
