Milestone Shooting Collection 2 bundles five shmups on Wii

by JC Fletcher on Dec 6th 2010 3:10PM

The first Milestone Shooting Collection for Wii came to North America as Ultimate Shooting Collection, and combined Chaos Field, Radio Allergy, and Karous into one delightfully cheap collection of vertical shmups.

Milestone is developing a followup in Japan, which contains everything the first disc offered, plus two more games. Milestone Shooting Collection 2 includes all three of the aforementioned games, plus Radio Allergy Noir (a version of which was released as a standalone, full-price Xbox 360 game) and Illvelo, which was once planned for North American release but canceled. Perhaps North American publisher UFO Interactive will give Illvelo a second chance by bringing this collection over. If you want the import, it's out in Japan on December 30.

You can see more of each game at the official site.

Would rather have these on Live or PSN. Glad they are being re-released tho!

@xLetzRoKx Exactly what I was thinking... Would love to tackle some cheevos for these games.

If this comes to the US, I will be powerless to stop myself from buying it.

I was so dissapointed Ilvelo never came out. I kept checking Amazon since last January as they kept pushing back the release, I was crushed to see it would not be coming.

Love shmups, but I can't be bothered to swap discs to play them. Call me lazy, but that's why I love these types of games on XBL/PSN. I'll buy them all if I don't have to actually put a disc in to play them.

You've become lazy, Mr. Spambot.

Glad I never got around to getting the first one then, heh. Hoping this gets localized, then.

I'm honestly surprised how well informed JC is on the Milestone release history. It's pretty obscure, and I didn't take him to be quite big enough a shooter fan to have followed the drawn-out crash and burn of the US release of Ilvelo, for example. Anyway, while I would like to have this collection, I don't think UFO will localize it. The sales projections would be dismally low, meaning retailers wouldn't go for it (especially given how much other low-selling third-party stuff the Wii already has), which is probably what killed Ilvelo's release.
