Two cheapo DSiWare shmups in Japan this week

The surprise announcement that Nintendo would publish an Arika-developed shooter on DSiWare was weird enough. We didn't expect to see more shmups on the service within a couple of weeks, but Genterprise has revealed exactly that.

Publisher Genterprise has announced two shooters as part of its 200 DSi Point "GG Series," both developed by Wario: Master of Disguise/Boing! Docomodake DS developer Suzak. Z-One is a horizontally scrolling shooter featuring a "Pod," a multidirectional-shooting "Option" kind of device that flies near your ship. And Wonder Land is an Alice in Wonderland-themed vertical shmup.

Being made specifically as super-cheap games, it's doubtful they'll be great. But they will be very cheap when they come out in Japan this Wednesday.

Cheap games for a cheap system...

Heh. If this keeps up, the shmup community might need to embrace the DSi as a platform for the genre.

yay. something decent to get with my leftover free 200 points instead of a stupid clock.

Yikes, I hope Suzak doesn't put those two games at the top of their resumé. Going by the odds of their track record, I wouldn't bet on anything above Okay.
