Review – Fast Draw Showdown
Built on the assets from an old Laser Disc arcade machine, Fast Draw Showdown is the first WiiWare title featuring full motion video. It’s fairly compressed to fit with the WiiWare size limits, but still good enough to make out the corny and funny adversaries.

Kind regards Capcom’s European PR Team Nice try, but an apology to the consumers would have been better. Stop blaming customers when your software doesn’t sell, Capc...
