Dr. V I had to buy it for 25 because I was desprate.

Chojin I was gonna buy this at eb games, and I asked the guy "This is $20, right?" and he said NO IT'S 25 DOLLARS AND IT'LL BE THAT PRICE ANYWHERE YOU GO

I gave him a double-take. BUT NOT MY MONEY.

srsly, it has an MSRP of $20, don't be gay about this.

Guitar Woman I thought constantly pointing the remote at the screen to aim would hurt my arm really bad, but after a day or two of Metroid Prime 3 I can play for hours and hours and hours without wearing out. It might have something to do with the fact that I take an extremely relaxed position lying on the couch when I play, I don't know.

DuFresne If the shooting game in Super Paper Mario is any indication, using the "naked" remote to shoot makes my wrist hurt pretty quickly. That's the main reason I want a gun thingy, but i need to make sure it's not going to suck too hard in other ways.

Fathom Zero How about "no" and we have fun with the peripherals?

This one by Piranha looks to be one of the better third-party ones out there. Still a bitch to hit the remote face buttons, but eh . A major complaint with most of the guns seems to be that they make you hold the nunchuk in a weird position, and this gun takes care of that by letting you hold the nunchuk wherever you want without sacrificing support.
That's cool and all, but what if you have to press A?

As for a full fledged "Link's", which I Think is what you're saying Fathom, that would be cool. Like, a short adventure with nothing but the crossbow, ala Four Swords.
They're re-releasing House Of The Dead 2 and 3? Ooh, excitin'
Nov 27th, 2007 09:44 AM
DuFresne how sturdy does it feel? all the puctures I've seen of it make it look like a cheap piece of plastic crap.
Nov 27th, 2007 06:36 AM
Fathom Zero That would be cool, but naw. I saw it in Game Informer's Photophile this month. It's the game that comes with the Zapper, so I never expected a lot. Looks somewhat cool.

Fathom Zero Personally, I can't wait for "Link's Crossbow Training," which totally isn't some sort of minigame.

Seriously, this looks bomb for Umbrella Chronicles. I think I'll make my own, though.

Dr. V it's actually useful when trying to steady your aim. And there's a slew of games coming. Ghost squad is one of my arcade favs. I even got my mom to play it. So I'll defiantly pick that up. But games like metroid aren't really useful since you have to jump and use ther buttons. Link's crossbow training is a perfect fit.

As for ergonomic-ness, I've found when in a rail shooter situation, it's easy to hold the trigger with your dominant hand and hold the back like the front of a shotgun with the other. Very comfy. Of course if you have to use the stick, you're stuck in the standard position. Standing up really helps though.

Uncle_Sham I seen it at superstore for 25$. too much. it seems fairly useless.
Nov 25th, 2007 05:19 PM
Dr. V Maybe, haven't seen a 3rd party gun.
Nov 25th, 2007 09:27 AM
MarioRPG I heard the third party controllers have a better ergonomic set up.

This thing is a little awkward to hold at first. It forces you to either pull the trigger with your non dominant hand and miss or switch your hand stance and feel a little uncomfortable in the shoulder. BUT after a while, especially if you're not using the control stick, it feels pretty natural. But all this thing does is basically keep the wiimote steady while you shoot.

The Zelda game's pretty fun too.
