Tecmo launches surprise non-blackjack game for iPhone

The first two iPhone games out of Tecmo have been pretty much exactly what we would expect from an early mobile Tecmo game (that wasn't an arcade port of Star Force or something) -- simple minigames with pictures of girls involved. We didn't expect both of them to be blackjack, but that's exactly what Tecmo is offering on the App Store: Rio Blackjack, in which players interact with an anime-style dealer named Rio, and Girls of DOA Blackjack: Kasumi, in which players compete with a reused character model from Dead or Alive.

Much more effort appears to have gone into the third game, Annie's Wild Shot, an adorable, cartoonish Wild West shooting game. Annie's Wild Shot features optional, clever motion controls, allowing players to swing the phone around to change camera angles.

Wild Shot is available in the App Store for 99 cents from now through July 9, when it will be bumped to its 'normal' $3.99 price. Check out some gameplay footage after the break.
