According to Spanish gaming site, Revogamers, (thank God I learned how to read Spanish with my DS) House of the Dead 2 and 3 is coming out for the Wii early next year. Kotaku backs this up with the official press release they got from Sega too (which is after the jump). The game is officially going to be called House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, will use the Wii Zapper and you can check out some of the screens at Revogamers.
It's bad enough that the Wii is flooded with PS2 ports but at least those games look somewhat good. I really have a hard time believing that these are the actual graphics that we will be seeing for this game. Then again, there has been worse crap on the system that people seemed to have adored.

Speaking of poop, people are asking for the original HotD. Do they really want worse visuals than these?
Also, is it just me or does that post to the direct left of the chainsaw weilding smurf with a shrunken head look oddly well-textured?
Except it'll be even worse, because if it's on the Wii they won't even bother with a light gun. Light gun > mouse aiming.
You... do know the wiimote doubles as a lightgun, right? (See also: Ghost Squad -- granted I haven't checked it out yet.) I think it's safe to say it'll play just fine.
Maybe I just need to eat better...
I have House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast and I KNOW it looks better than this.
Didn't HOTD3 on xbox come with HOTD2 as a unlockable?
No, wait. That doesn't work. People still buy it. It really is the customer's fault in the end.
Anyway, my biggest complaint about Elebits was not that it looked underwhelming, but that it had major framerate issues, too. Come on, regardless of hardware power, there's no excuse for games to run at less than 60 FPS. I wonder if HOTD will fall into that pit, too.
Is there a god?
"Don't come! Don't come!"
Quite probably it´ll be cheap price, lije Ghost Squad. I am going for this... ah, my high school...
Also Typing of the Dead better come back on Wii somehow.
