So? Have you played Gunblade NY? Having played both Gunblade and Elebits, I can assure you the feeling is identical apart from having a giant plastic gun mounted to the unit. I wouldn't want to do Time Crisis on Wii, but for something like LA Machineguns it would work just fine.

Ghost Squad isn't something like LA Machine Guns.
Exactly. Having an on-screen cursor doesn't lend it self to the "ghost" part.Quote:

Other than the sniper scenes (where you need the dot cursor IMO) or the special events, I don't want any sort of cursor in this version. If there is one, hopefully it can be disabled.
Time to kick this thread, now that GS is out here.
I have the Japanese version, since I said fuck it and got an import Wii rather than dicking around with the crazy prices on US systems. You CAN kill the cursor from the pregame Customize menu. Just be sure to go to Options and calibrate.
On the Wii GS, every Mission Level up to 16 can be unlocked for each Mission- it has the save system found on the card-reader equipped version, not this level 1-4 limitation. All the weapons and alternate outfits are there, and the graphics are pretty close if not outright perfect. The Wiimote does simulate recoil fairly well, especially when you're using the heavier machine guns.
All we need now is a replica gun based on the big green monster you find on the arcade unit, even if it's a bit smaller- and maybe an alternate sensor setup for the Wii that mimics Time Crisis 4's Guncon 3 rig, where you can spread the two IR sensors based on your TV size.
So how's the accuracy, especially compared to Guncon 3?
Are the Ninja and the Panda from Evolution in the game?
Never used the GunCon 3 (not out here yet) but it works well in this game. It's just sad that Sega outsourced this one, I really expected that the Wii could do XBOX level visuals....other than that, it's what I wanted. Now, we just need the other gun games which lack ports....Quote:

Yes on both.Quote:

The Wii Zapper isn't terrible, it's just cheaply (not poorly) made, and I'd definitely rather use the Guncon 3 for Ghost Squad, though I do like that the Wii Zapper is naturally wireless. You can play fine without the Zapper, but I just need to hold a gun for these games. I haven't played Link's Crossbow training yet, so I can't comment on it.
It's too bad about no widescreen, however. Otherwise, the Wii Zapper is just as accurate for me as the Guncon 3 has been for Time Crisis 4 at 8-10 feet away.
