Wii Light Gun Attachment |
Listed in: Wii Tags: e3, industry news
Ó

Nintendo has announced that a light gun attachment will be available for the forthcoming Wii. I say attachment, because it is something of a receptacle for the Wii controller to slip into. It has a pistol grip, trigger, and thumb stick for controls, as well as whatever the rest of the controller's functions are made available in the light gun mode. Nintendo's working on a new version of the classic Duck Hunt from the original Nintendo Entertainment System, and the rumor is that the light gun attachment will come with the game. A stand alone gun may also become available, but that is not yet apparent.
It's stuff like this that really gets me excited. Being a product of the original NES, I love the new spin on old games. I think Nintendo is really pulling out the stops and taking advantage of its under-dog status in the industry. While I'm a long time XBOX fan, I easily see a Wii in my living room as soon as it's available - especially with a copy of the new Duck Hunt and a light gun!

I don't think this would work on games like Red Steel where they want you to use the nunchuck controller to do things like open doors and stuff, but I could see this on games like Duck Hunt and--"Holy floating cans, Batman!"--HOGAN'S ALLEY!!!!!!!!!!

Nintendo's aim is not to put a 9mm in the hand of every child but to provide a lightgun attachment. As long as it is comfortable for more than 30 minutes at a time it'll be fine.
I think it actually looks quite nice. I'm very much looking forward to the revised duckhunt (and hopefully the original, too.)
