Oh God, someone do something, these Real Heroes: Firefighter screens are on fire photo

I get bored of light gun shooters rather quickly, but I've always had a soft spot Sega's arcade game Brave Firefighters. It used a hose peripherals that you would aim at the screen to put out blazing fires, and yes, it was ridiculous. 

While I gave up on waiting for such peripherals to come to consoles, it does look like I'll be getting close with the Epicenter Studios-developed Real Heroes: Firefighter for the Wii. The game will have you waving the Wii Remote to aim your hoses, swing axes, and tear through a burning building with a chainsaw. I'm sweating just thinking about it. 

If this sounds like your kind of thing -- and you can keep yourself from volunteering locally -- Real Heroes: Firefighter is scheduled for a Q2 2009 release.

...And people WONDER why the Wii isn't taken seriously by gamers.

I'm gonna say it...that's a fucking dead baby.

I was entranced by this game when I played it in the arcades back when i was a kid, and I was mildly amused when I saw the headline, but now I realize I have to pay money to play it...so fuck that.

The obvious concern is if it doesn't go the Umbrella Chronicles route it's going to have 0 repeatability.

My arcade had Brave Firefighters for a time. Even now I appreciate it for how different it is.

Now if they can get around to remaking The Grid for the Wii I'm set for life.

Oh no, is this going to be some new wasted flagship series with that "Real Heroes" title... Ugh.

The sad thing is there have been a few good firefighter games in the past. And the Wii could actually have a really good one. But this... will not be one.

They better patch this hot cupcake for female gamers or else sales won't go as planned; suggest adding some manicure.

Holmes God please help us!

So you guys are excited about this one, right?

I also can't believe no one comment on my awful (yet amazing) headline.

Oh, well. Might as well go back to "Saint's Row 2" until "MadWorld" comes out.

@ Nick: I did laugh a little at your title, it is bad, but charming at the same time.

That game is alot of fun at the Arcade. However I played house of the dead on wii and while its still good times, the Arcade version is much better because of the light gun. The zapper cant replace the light gun. And this game I think will suffer from the same thing, It just wont be as good cause you wont have that fire hose controller.

I'll try it, that's for sure. Haven't played one of these games before, so I'm interested.
