Forget Left 4 Dead. The definitive zombie game is now on the Wii.

Forget Left 4 Dead.  The definitive zombie game is now on the Wii.

Before zombies were hip, there was Lucasarts' Zombies Ate My Neighbors. And now, zombie-like, it's risen from the grave just in time for Halloween. From Nintendo's weekly WiiWare announcements:

Zombies Ate My Neighbors™
Publisher: LucasArts
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Cartoon Violence
Price: 800 Wii Points
Description: You will play the game as one of two brave kids: Zeke or Julie. Both kids use the same control scheme and have the same characteristics. If you're playing in two-player mode, each player must pick a kid. You can't have two Zekes or two Julies. Each player starts with three lives. When your life bar runs out, you lose a life. There are hidden 1-Up bonuses in the game. You may also earn bonus lives if you have 10 victims left when you finish a level. Get ready to conquer 48 levels of giant ants, mad scientists and big babies. Find seven bonus levels (look for the question marks), earn points and stockpile your water pistols and other weapons.
I have no idea how well or whether it holds up, but I will say that Zeke and Julie could probably take Zoe, Bill, Louis, and Francis in a stand-up fight.

Yeah dude, the L4D quartet never had to fight 40-foot tall babies.

LOL! Looks like similar animation to FATE!

I remember this being one of the toughest games I ever played as a kid. It never lets up.

^Quoted for Truth. Holy **** that game was hard. I believe I never made it past the sandworm stage. Awesome game though with some great level names, off the top of my head:

Zombie Panic
Office of the Damned
Mars Needs Cheerleaders
