Everyone likes a little "pew! pew!" now and then, but one would be hard pressed to ever want to turn to Target Terror, the Konami published light gun shooter for the Wii. Originally a hilariously bad 2004 arcade game, it was re-released for the Wii ... two months ago (because we needed that).
MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek caught up with the game's designer, Eugene Jarvis, to talk a bit about the title. The videogame industry veteran had quite a bit to say about motion capture in games (he thinks it's totally awesome), 9/11 (it's story is "so rich in action, destruction, death, heroism, megalomania, patriotism, and paranoia that it begs for a videogame to be made."), and a Target Terror sequel.
"We’ve been working on fleshing out the storyline," he told Klepek in an email. "I can tell you that the heavy s**t is going down in Vegas -- the action is going to be Apocalyptic. And yes you can still shoot ‘em in the nuts!"
Yes, there's going to be a sequel to a game that has a Metacritic score of 37 out of 100. Well, at least Beyond Good & Evil is finally getting a follow up, right?

Oh, and Maximum Force is awesome.
Target Terror was made in 2004, not the mid 90's.
Considering T:T and Cruis'n both hit the Wii, I suspect this will hit the console after Big Buck Hunter PRO. Who knew Raw Thrills would make their real money on the Wii?
Togeather they would be the death of arcades through out the rest of the 1990's to neer recover post 2000.
I have always blamed Area 51 and games like it,
You should be ashamed of yourselves, Konami. On PS3, you have no trouble pulling out all stops for MGS4, but it surely seems the opposite for Wii.
Disagree? If you do, ask where is the rest of Konami's efforts for Wii?
