I've started half heartedly collecting Wii games. My focus is still Gamecube though.

One game I've been wondering about is Sin and Punishment on the Wii. Is it any good? I've heard lots of good things about it on the N64 but am wondering how it turned out on the Wii.

Some people would argue it's very good and some would argue it's much worse then the original. I enjoyed it though I do think the original is the better game.

I recently picked up CIB copies of Spyborgs and Sky Crawlers. I was very happy to find both of these.

It's f*cking awesome. You should buy it immediately.

I dont' think so...If I go through my collection, however, I can probably put one together. I'll try to do that this weekend.
Here is my attempt at a list of "rail shooters" for the Nintendo Wii:

.....

Arcade Hits Pack: Gunblade NYC & LA Machine Guns
Attack of the Movies 3D
Chicken Blaster
Chicken Riot
Counter Force
Dead Space Extraction
Dino Strike
Ghost Squad
Gunslingers
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
House of the Dead Overkill
Link's Crossbow Training
Mad Dog McCree Gunslingers Pack
Martian Panic
Pirate Blast
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Samurai Warriors Katana
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Wild West Shootout

.....

Dragon Quest Swords has some "rail shooter" elements, but I did not include it. Likewise, I think that Jurassic: The Hunted/Top Shot Dinosaur Hunter has some "rail shooter" sections, but it is primarily a FPS. Accordingly, I did not include it either. In any event, if you think that I should take any games off the list - or if there are any games I should add to it - please let me know.

Great game, there are multiple control options even though the cover does not show it.

I'd be careful about that. I seem to recall that one racketeer ordered manuals direct from Nintendo, but only received photocopies that he had to cut out and staple together himself.

I tried this for some GameCube games, and I received photocopies. Nintendo only sends those if they run out of the original manuals, however; so, you might have some luck ordering from this site.

Anyone else think it's safe to say that the Wii used-game market golden age is ending quickly? I think we'll start seeing a huge lack of available Wii titles in places like EB in the next six months or so.

It's an interesting thought, but I wonder if the backward compatibility of the WiiU will keep them around, much like DS titles.
