As the story goes, the Can Can aliens are stealing cans from a can factory on earth to use for their vehicles, and it's up to a middle-aged worker at the factory named Ossan to get the cans back. This is done by using a Recycle Cannon to turn the cans into "GE" energy, which can then be gathered in order to thwart the alien plans. "GE" also serves as ammunition, with your energy getting drained as you take hits from the alien invaders. Once your "GE" is gone, the game is over.
530 Eco Shooter supports the Wii Zapper and is best described as an on-rails shooter. You move through each environment on a vehicle, collecting energy by aiming at it and clicking Z. Check out the game's official site to see a trailer for this wacky concept.
Priced at 1000 WiiPoints, the game is set for release on November 24 and is rated A by CERO.
"Can Can Aliens"? I think "Canivorous Aliens" would have been catchier. Oh well. The plot certainely has potential.
I have to wonder how stupid they think the general public is (obviously, quite a lot), because just about every game on the Wii that doesn't require the classic controller supports the Wii Zapper. It's a frickin' plastic shell that has no impact on the game's functionality whatsoever!

Try hitting A and B together while using the Zapper.
The point is that while it's technically possible to play any game with the Zapper it's impractical with most. I could play The Conduit with my gun shell but since it needs all those buttons on the top of the remote frequently I would severely cripple myself. On the other hand I can play Wild West Guns or Water Warfare without ever reaching for the top of the remote so I can use the gun shell without negative impact.

I wanted Yoshi's Safari to make a comeback.
Water Warare is more interesting to me than this.
Though I am worried if this is IS' only current project. I was hoping for a new Fire Emblem on Wii.
I thought the Wii FE was great. Sure there was some room for improvement, but it was a solid game. I'd like to see a Wii game similar to Sacred Stones with to world map and options of fighting skirmishes or entering those challenge towers along with the option of choosing your units next class.
More the issue with FE Wii was there were all of these great ideas but you rarely got enough time with a number of the units to make much of a difference with those changes. The major chapters with different characters broke it all up too much.
My reference for strategy RPGs is Dawn of War 2.
The campaign in DoW2 is pretty much an SRPG, while the underlying engine is an RTS the campaign has a fixed number of characters that you take to a mission, they have stats (including special abilities) and equipment that you can get from random drops or as mission rewards and many enemy attacks have warnings so you can move your characters out of the way.
I want a new Homeworld game period. Now I want to go back and play them again. Oddly, I seem to remember having the most trouble with Cataclysm.
What system was Valkyria Chronicles for again?
I'm waiting to see Valkyria Chronicles hit the $20 price point on Amazon.
