It looks like Mega Man 9 started something. A new retro-flavored Gradius title has been announced for WiiWare. Gradius Rebirth will strike Japanese Wii systems this Summer. That's pretty much all we know for now -- details about the game's content, like whether or not it's a remake of a previous Gradius game is still unknown. Considering Gradius (NES) lives on the Virtual Console, we'd be surprised if this wasn't a completely brand-new game.

Let's just hope it lasts a little bit longer than the Star Soldier remake.

I think it probably will be. Wasn't the Star Soldier thing supposed to be a revival of the Hudson Summer Carnival mode that they used to put in their games?

Really? Joystiq thinks this game is a result of the MM9 retro inspiration, despite the fact that it's well into development and will be releasing this summer?
