Hudson only released their WiiWare title Star Soldier R last week in North American, and already they're holding a tournament and sweepstakes that could see you crowned the top Star Soldier R player in the nation, nab you some nifty prizes, and maybe - just maybe - get you recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.

Well I suppose we can't call it the Virtual Console update anymore, seeing as WiiWare is now added to the mix. We'll just go with weekly Wii update for now until we think of something snappier.

Hudson's classic Star Soldier series has already appeared in four different iterations on the Wii Virtual Console (Super Star Soldier, Soldier Blade, Blazing Lazers and Star Soldier), so now it's time for the next step. Introducing Star Soldier R for WiiWare, the tournament-style rebirth of the classic series. What's tournament style? Well players can compete in three modes - 2-Minute, 5-Minute, and Quick Shot. Gamers are challenged to get the best (or fastest) score in any mode, with online leaderboards keeping track of things. You still collect power-ups and take on waves of enemies...just not as long as you normally would. It's an interesting idea...promoting bite-sized snippits of gameplay over a full, multi-level experience, but it could work. If anything it'd be perfect for that quick morning gaming fix, and Hudson could very well offer more downloadable challenges in the future. We'll see once the game comes out whether the concept works out or it proves to be a little short for a Star Soldier. More »

While free of Wii-remote gimmicks, it's unclear what new gameplay elements the vertical shooter will bring to the series. Anyone unfamiliar with Hudson's Star Soldier may want to invest in the Virtual Console release of the Turbografx-16 version as the above video isn't exactly clear viewing. More »
