The internet is alive with the living-dead speculation that Sega is set to release a House of the Dead package for Wii.
According to reports, game rental site Gamefly.com was listing House of the Dead Return 2&3 for Nintendo's console. We say "was", because the game listing appears to have now been removed....
However, not before it was spotted by Neo Gaf forumites, who also appear to be suggesting the following information has come from PR for Sega Europe:
In THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN, players will be able to play both versions of the game, battling the relentless attack of bloodthirsty zombies with steady aim and a quick trigger finger.
Utilising the innovative new Wii Zapper or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, players will experience branching storylines with over six game modes including Arcade Mode and Time Attack modes that will test their shooting skills. THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN features an engaging single-player campaign, plus a co-op multiplayer mode for up to two players for countless hours of zombie shooting action.
"THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD franchise has been revamped for today's gamer looking for fast-paced shooting action on the Wii" commented Gary Knight, Marketing Director of SEGA Europe. "Utilising the new Wii Zapper, the player can get the renowned light gun experience in their own home."
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD is famous for its heart-pounding pace and the great visual detail of the vast armies of unique enemies. Blasting through legions of grotesque zombies and mutated monsters, players eventually face-off against colossal boss creatures that will test the accuracy and skill of every Wii gamer.
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN will be available for the Wii home video game system from Nintendo in spring 2008.
We've received no such press release or word from Sega Europe on such a game for Wii, but we'll be hitting the phones later this morning to find out the score.
