Co-Op Release Alert

Another week and another double pack of co-op games.  Both games are available exclusively for the Wii.  First up is the highly, neigh, the insanely anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  While the game traditionally has just been a beat-em-up, the new game adds an additional story mode which can be played through with a buddy.  Most excellent.

Next up is Sega's House of the Dead 2 & 3 compilation.  You'll face the endless onslaught of undead with a buddy in a traditional arcade style light gun shooter.  Of course...instead of a light gun you'll be using the Wii Zapper, or other Wii-gunlike peripheral.

It's good to see some other systems finally getting some decent cooperative games.  I know I'm on the fence about both games, but my Wii is tragically underused.  It might be time to warm it up again.   Does either game tickle your fancy?
