Not only are the graphics better, but there are two more playable characters who each handle completely differently from the basic Clint Eastwood and Annie Oakley clones from the original. Honestly, this feels like what should have been an arcade version of the original Wild Guns. The graphical differences are comparable to any arcade version of a 16-bit port from years past, as the sprites are bigger, crisper, and a bit more detailed. I can’t say I played the original Wild Guns on an actual SNES back in the day, but having played it on an emulator, it’s obvious how much care and work went into this remake, even if at first glance you might get the impression Wild Guns Reloaded is just an upscaled SNES game.
This arcade shooting gallery comes to us all the way from the middle of the ’90s, when dreams were still alive.
