Natsume Is Rebooting SNES Shooter Wild Guns For PlayStation 4
Natsume put a smile on the faces of many an older gamer this morning, announcing that it’s rebooting a classic franchise. The original Wild Guns was released in 1994, featuring shooting gallery style gameplay and anachronistic weapons.
The only things we know right now about Wild Guns Reloaded are that original characters Clint and Annie will return and we’ll see them in action at E3. The original gameplay style might not stand up to the test of time, so we’re curious what Natsume has in store.
We’ll know more in a month once E3 kicks off in Los Angeles.

Our Take
Wild Guns was a lot of fun for the time, but that gameplay and control scheme is outdated. We’ll find out if Natsume is banking on nostalgia or has something fresh on tap.
