Wii Zapper and Links Crossbow Training

Post by fastbilly1 »

It took me a bit to track down, but man it was worth it.

The shell is a bit of a cop out, I mean it is cool and tommygun like, but I could live without it - neat to have though.

Links Crossbow Training is just awesome. The shooting alley game is one of the few games my old man will actually give a try. We traded off for about an hour, and I have left him with it for the past bit trying to beat my scores...It is not a next gen Duck Hunt, but it is damn close. Now if only I could get rid of the reticle...

I also picked up your average ordinary pinball rts, but more on that later.

I've heard some quite positive and also fairly average responses about this. Across the board though it seems that people aren't too phased about the mold and are more interested in Zelda.

I'm still not sure myself, all of the games that boast about using this peripheral all interest me but not enough to leap out and buy them or the zapper. I think that House of the Dead will change my mind though.

Ya know, I wouldn't have gotten my NES as a kid if my dad wasn't interested in Duck Hunt. There's a possibility that I owe everything to Duck Hunt. :shock:

Duck Hunt for the win. I think that was a big part of why my dad wanted us to get an NES as well. He used to play that and Ice Hockey with us all the time.

you know, after playing ghost squad for a couple hours yesterday, I really think the plastic zapper attachment is worth it. Sure, it doesn't do anything except allow your hands to grip the controller like a gun, but it's amazing how 30 degrees of wrist adjustment can make a game more enjoyable. Aiming the wiimote without it really doesn't feel right to me at all. Just my opinion though, I'm sure most people will be able to get used to it.

I have looked high and low for Ghost Squad to no avail. I am in full support of buying all lightgun games for the system - even if they release games like Yoshi's Safari and Gumshoe on the Virtual Console.

Now I really have to figure out how I can mount a wiimote inside of a stunner lightgun...

Anyone with a Wii must buy GhostSquad. It is the arcade game to the tee at home. Well the gun was alittle off, but I did not calibrate it. Now if I can figure out how to turn of reticles it will be perfect. And it has four control modes - two of which are only the remote. One of the best $30 games on the market.
