Rogue Trooper, a comic strip created for British publication 2000 AD has been the basis for three videogames over the years, the most recent of which was Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre. Released in 2006, it was made available for the Sony PlayStation 2, PC and Microsoft Xbox… and now Reef Entertainment has confirmed that the same title will be heading to the Nintendo Wii.

Rogue Trooper is a genetically engineered soldier of the future, with the special ability to harness the personalities of his fallen comrades through this helmet, backpack and rifle armoury. A ‘biochip’ is installed within each ‘Genetic Infantryman’ or ‘GI’ from birth which then records their personalities and training upon their death. These biochips are then removed and can then be inserted within energized slots on a fellow GI’s rifle, helmet or backpack to secure them for their return to base and re-cloning.

Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre follows the GI and his comrades after they are betrayed by a traitor general on their first mission to an area on Nu Earth known as the Quartz Zone. Only Rogue survives, and joined by his fallen comrades within his equipment, he begins a journey across Nu Earth to find the general and unleash his revenge. Reef is promising the Nintendo Wii version will provide even greater immersive gameplay and shot accuracy using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck
