House of the Dead: Overkill Revealed, Features 'Slow-Mofo Time'; First Screenshots Arrive
Titled The House of the Dead: Overkill and set as a prequel to the first HotD, the game will debut early next year as a Wii exclusive. Development is being handled by external studio and Battalion Wars 2 (Wii) veterans Headstrong Games, formerly Kuju London.
Sporting cooperative shooting for two players, Overkill is said to deliver "relentless, gore-drenched, over-the-top action" and "non-stop light-gun style action," along with the ability to slow time and line up the "perfect head-popping shot" with "Slow-Mofo Time."
Noted Sega: "They've come for brains, you'll give them bullets!"
"This is the hardcore Wii title you've been waiting for," added Sega Europe marketing director Gary Knight.

I hope the game has as much style as the trailer. Looks fun, I'll probably pick it up whenever it gets to $30. I still need to get a perfect shot though.

I think the aim depends on the calibration in-game. From what I've read HoTD 2+3 have good calibration.
"What House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return does accomplish, however, is the offering of the strongest Wii IR we've seen in a gun game thus far, as the cursor is quick and responsive, and the IR calibration sights the Wii remotes in perfectly."
