Nintendo Wii remake Second Opinion launched in 2006.

Trauma Center: New Blood launched in 2007, also for Nintendo Wii. Set a decade after the events of the original title, the sequel shifted the setting to Alaska. Character design is by Masayuki Doi, with scenario writing by Shōgo Isogai. The soundtrack album is composed by Tsuchiya and Atsushi Kitajoh.


From the Nintendo product page:
Alaska – the harsh northern extremity of America. Come April, the chilling winter begins to loosen its grip on the land. The seemingly endless nights grow shorter, day by day, and the frozen wilderness starts to thaw.

In the heart of this majestic setting lies a small town whose weary inhabitants eagerly await the arrival of spring. Montgomery Memorial Hospital watches over the town like an old man. In this remote hospital toil two doctors, Markus Vaughn and Valerie Blaylock, who share a common bond and are about to be swallowed by the jaws of fate…

The two doctors will be called upon to battle a deadly disease and become entangled in a conspiracy with dire ramifications. Only by honing their special healing gifts will Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Blaylock be able to save the precious lives placed in their hands and put a stop to the virus before it spreads to the furthest reaches of the planet.
