Trigger-happy gamers rejoice! In addition to Sega’s numerous other announcements today, they also revealed Ghost Squad for the Nintendo Wii. The game will be a port of the 2004 arcade hit, and include additional modes exclusive to the home version. The arcade original was developed by AM2, well-known for their other famous arcade shooter series, Virtua Cop. AM2 is also developing the Wii version.

Ghost Squad will feature four gameplay modes, including a full port of the original arcade game. Multiplayer features will also be included, supporting up to four players! The game boasts three different missions with branching paths and multiple objectives, such as rescuing hostages, apprehending suspects (read: shoot the hell out of them), and deactivating bombs. There are 25 different weapons to find and use, not to mention special tools like night vision, thermo vision, and flashlights.

Sega was quick to point out that this is one of the first true light gun games to be brought to the Wii, and promised that the Wii remote is all gamers will need to begin blasting terrorists to hell.
