I do own a 3DS, though. <br /><br /><br />Indeed, Wii U's backward compatibility surely helps to keep the game relevant and it's hard not to get it with these prices! And again, thanks for taking the time to reply!Hitomajirinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-12646229251640406802013-09-17T03:58:39.432-04:002013-09-17T03:58:39.432-04:00Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you foun...<b>Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you found the post!</b><br /><br />Being that the Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii games, and even has a sensor bar included with the system, I think this could be one of those games to pick up around Halloween this year.<br /><br />I just checked, and it's listed under $20 new on Amazon.com, and under $10 used from third-party sellers there as well:<br />http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WCQWR6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000WCQWR6&linkCode=as2&tag=coffeew-20<br /><br /><br /><br />Do you have a Wii U by any chance?coffeewithgameshttp://coffeewithgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-16619579753818572832013-09-17T02:56:26.304-04:002013-09-17T02:56:26.304-04:00I'm almost a year too late...

But I felt it was OK to share a few thoughts though, because this game never really gets old for me, so maybe someone out there might like it as well. <br /><br />Anyway, if you're a fan of the series (or even rail shooters in general) then there's a good chance you'll like The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. I particularly enjoy playing THotD2's Original Mode because it adds freshness to each run and improves replay value. <br /><br />Playing it with the Zapper is even more fun. I already owned the original but as the Dreamcast Gun wouldn't work on newer TVs, I decided to give this a go and didn't regret it. Sega could include the original THotD but it's a great package nonetheless.Hitomajirinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-29891471448853628392012-11-01T05:02:13.827-04:002012-11-01T05:02:13.827-04:00Glad to know it's good with two players, as my...Glad to know it's good with two players, as my wife might be willing to give this type of "shooter" a try. She doesn't generally try/enjoy first-person games, but in this she wouldn't have to worry with the movement since the camera is adjusted on its own.<br /><br /><br /><b>Thanks for the comment and feedback!</b>coffeewithgameshttp://coffeewithgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-45675990005744614332012-11-01T05:00:58.536-04:002012-11-01T05:00:58.536-04:00Awesome!

Thanks for the feedback on it, and accuracy being rewarded I think is awesome, as often times it doesn't matter in games how many times you fire your weapon, just so long as you survive.<br /><br /><br /><b>Thanks again for the comment and feedback!</b>coffeewithgameshttp://coffeewithgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-2899650249336213432012-10-31T18:47:52.457-04:002012-10-31T18:47:52.457-04:00I picked it up recently for a rather cheap price a...I picked it up recently for a rather cheap price and would certainly recommend it, it's especially good with two players.dstenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-22526261834859156502012-10-31T10:07:25.343-04:002012-10-31T10:07:25.343-04:00I can certainly recommend House of the Dead II &am...I can certainly recommend House of the Dead II & III, as it is a decent arcade title, with a suitable amount of new life breathed into it with the IR pointer in the Wiimote. The game is frantic, but rewards accuracy with bonus lives and points, extending replayability. It is ever bit the awesome party game that the Dreamcast original was.LegendofMiinoreply@blogger.com
