With the announcement of a HotD game which may or may not be a crap, I have decided that the Wii may be the only way to get lightgun games in the house.
a) which games in this genre are legitimately good?
b) is any accessory for the Wii good for making it more gunlike?
c) which under the rader games are excellent (not just a B grade game)?
Now, I think the answer here is none, no, none...BUT I know that there are some non-Wiinies that know gaming
I am probably not going to get one though
I hear mario galaxy is pretty good.
That doesn't answer any of my questions ;/
I heard Link's Crossbow Training puts Duck Hunt to shame.
Ghost Squad is a must for lightgun games. I have the Zapper and it's OK, I've heard the Perfect Shot is better but I haven't tried it.
This is unbelievable.
a) Gumshoe, Point Blank, Elemental Gearbolt, Lethal EnforcersQuote:

You didn't say you wanted it to be too functional, but i imagine you could drill some holes and tap them to securely bolt the remote so you could hold it like a gun, wave it at cops and people who pull into your lane without signaling. A deringer look is always cool too.
c) I'm with A Robot Bit Me, Carnival Games is top notch and i'm sure that Dennis Rader would indeed approve of it being under him.
You might want to try Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit as well, all excellent, all largely ignored.
I also have heard the Perfect Shot is the way to go.
Metroid Prime 3 on advanced controls is kickass - I'm only about 3 hours in but you can get right in the zone with that baby. It's the first game I've played in months that had me considering calling in sick to work. Immersive like a muh fuh.

Let's say in theory I had a Wii
LOL! JOUST WII-LIAMS
Perfect Shot is the best gun addon for the wiimote

For games, I like these:
Zak & Wiki
Super Mario Galaxy
Geometry Wars Galaxies
Williams Pinball Collection (also for PS2)
Ghost Squad
HoTD collection
Fire Emblem if you like SRPGs
No one gives a fuck about you or any hypothetical game players you have.

Starting a daycare, Joust?
If this is what you'd call a "daycare":
I knew it all along. Joust is a closeted Nintendo fan who hates himself for loving Nintendo. He not only has a DS, but he's now contemplating buying a Wii. You can stop fronting now, Joust.
Even I still won't even half consider getting a Wii.
a) Ghost Squad. HOTD 2 & 3 is better on Xbox.
b) Nyko Perfect Shot is about as good a gun shell as you're going to get.
c) Mercury Meltdown Revolution, LostWinds, and Castle of Shikigami III.
The Perfec Shot is the best gun attachment available for the Wii. Having said that, the Wii remote simply isn't good enough to double as a light gun. "Getting by" isn't the same thing as "being good", and the remote just doesn't have the aiming capabilities that you'd want for real light gun gaming. Basically, any gun attachment you get is going to be a fancy shell for the pointer, and for true aiming you'll want to stick with whatever Namco makes compatible with Guncon 3.

No, I am not getting one. Every once in a while, itching happens...but that's as far as it goes
I still have a Wii because I can't get rid of the fucking thing.
Let's say that hypothetically the Wii is a POS. Wait. The Wii is a POS. Nough said.
I hear chicken shoot is pretty awesome
It's an underrated classic.
Probably because your eBay auctions say things like "STOLEN FROM A WHORE".Quote:

Liquid Silk is awesome.
Pretty much. I understand the appeal, doesn't do anything for me.Quote:

I really liked this game too! I had a lot of fun with Elebits also. Endless Ocean is pretty fun but I have a distinct feeling that Joust (and many people, for that matter) would not be amused by it. PS3 Aquanaut's Holiday is about to make it obsolete anyway.Quote:

Cool, I didn't even know they are making a new one.
True on the Xbox HOTD 3. HOTD 3 is better with the Silent Scope light rifle, which has a pump action reloader and recoil.Quote:

Forget about Target Terror. The game started out decent in the arcade, but broken controls and stuttering kill it. Konami should consider a PS3 port for Guncon 3- the PS3 has 512 MB, so RAM would not be an issue.
Razor, my offer still stands.
For gun games, I have yet to pick up Ghost Squad but Link's Crossbow Training is pretty good. If you're looking for modern arcade gun level progression, it probably won't be appealing as it's a mix of gallery-type levels and some simple third-person shooter action but if you dig the Twilight Princess universe (somehow I doubt Joust does) and want an old-school gun game, it's worth playing.
Okay, this is the thread to ask:
I hear that the Guncon 3 is technologically mad-similar to the Wiimote.
How does the Guncon 3 in TC4 compare to the Wiimote in, say, Ghost Squad? Does the Guncon 3 behave just like a light gun? Is Ghost Squad just like a "configure this way and as long as you don't move closer to or away from the TV it vaguely aims right"?
Guncon 3 seems to be more accurate to me than the Wiimote, but every now and then the shots seem to be off. Ghost Squad is great because it allows you to calibrate within the game so it is fairly good, but you are right, you don't want to move too far off from your original calibrated position.Quote:

Guncon 2 definitely feels more accurate to me. PRoblem with HDTV is that the only way for the gun to see the screen is triangulation, as opposed to the old method.
Thanks for the impressions.
Despite the shitty sales it's getting a sequel too. Decent little game.Quote:

Lost Winds is short, but fun and charming as hell.
He's bi-curious about Wii.
Ghost Squad
HotD 2 & 3
Link's Crossbow would be good except for the FPS style games ruin it.
And I can't believe nobody mentioned Williams Pinball Hall of Fame!
It's the best goddam pin game ever - perfect physics and it's a steal @ $20!
Someone did.
It IS a fantastic collection, though, and far better than the PS2 version thanks to the two extra tables and surprisingly good use of waggle (basically, you bump the table by shaking either the wiimote or the nunchuck, and the triggers control the flippers).
It should be Joust Williams Pinball Hall of Fame.
I admit I was lukewarm on HotD: Overkill until I saw the trailer. Love the Grindhouse-esqueness of it. Day one.
Indeed, it has me frothing for Alien Crush. And speaking of better than PS2, SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 seems to fix all the problems of that version, great comp.Quote:

It's still awesome, but it doesn't use any unique controls on Wii. Wiimote is digital input only the same as the original - doesn't even let you map to the nunchuk. It's aged really well though, doesn't suffer at all next to more modern video pinball games.Quote:

This has previously been impossible across every version of those games I've played, to the point where I was starting to wonder if they'd programmed them with some kind of randomizer that only let your moves work every 10th time.Quote:

I think he meant the new one, which should be coming out in Japan soon if not already. It's giving me a boner in theory, but the aesthetics don't seem to line up with the previous Crush games. :\Quote:
