The rumours were true, House of the Dead II & III Return is set to release on Wii next year. Here are the first bunch of screens, straight in from SEGA this morning.

The classic on-rails shooters should be on a Wii near you sometime later next March and will be fully compatible with the Wii Zapper. Yes, you will finally get the chance to blast some pretend zombies^± with a plastic gun in single-player Time Attack or Arcade modes - or with your mates in co-operative two-player mode.

So, be good and hopefully find in your stocking this Christmas morning if Santa is good to you. Or, depending on your belief system, if Satan is good to you.

It’s nearly ten long years since SPOnG played House of the Dead II on Dreamcast. Thankyou SEGA, for resurrecting this undead beauty yet again for Wii.

^{± Santa is not real. Zombies are.}
