The pooch can even use the drone to hover to safety. However, it is far from useless on the battlefield since it controls a hovering battle drone that can auto lock onto any enemies on screen. Since it’s a dog, it carries no weapons and isn’t exactly a master of close quarter combats. The second new character, Bullet, could well be the very first playable dachshund in a video game. Holding ‘Y’ will charge up to three grenades at once, and she even has a ground pound area attack that you can use to very efficiently ensure her physical safety should enemies get too close to comfort at melee strike range. Unlike Clint and Annie, Doris does not carry a gun, instead opting out for grenades to do her long range damage. The biggest additions are most certainly the two new playable characters and, unlike Clint and Annie (who were just a gender swap in terms of their gameplay style), the new faces offer completely new ways to tackle the challenge. However, Natsume made sure that use of the word ‘Reloaded’ in the title wasn’t just for show and enhanced the already stellar original game with a few extras. That means that every level, heroes Clint and Annie, the original soundtrack (if you unlock it by completing the game with no continues) and the original graphics (with some slight lighting enhancements) are all present and accounted for. You will find the complete content of the original WILD GUNS in the newly minted Wild Guns Reloaded. But two years ago, the game had a new chance at the spotlight and at long last it has now made its way back to Nintendo hardware. Add in some inflated prices and nowadays it remains a crown jewel on many gamer’s Super Nintendo collection. Sadly, a limited number of copies coupled with being a late generation SNES game meant that a lot of people missed out on this slice of space western action. Back in 1994, Natsume delivered the definitive ‘shooting gallery’ shmup made famous in previous years by the likes of Neo Geo NAM-1975 and TAD’s Cabal.
