Interesting... you guys see this one?

Staying tuned to see how it can be integrated into emulation set ups vs built in Time Crisis (which is also cool itself).

Hadn't seen this, thanks for sharing! I wonder if users will eventually have the ability to play other games on the device as well.
Time Crisis is one of my favorite games and I revisit it at least once or twice a year, so I'll be keeping tabs on this going forward.
I actually haven't tried those Sinden light guns either. Did any RBers end up purchasing one?

No experience with Shinden. I remember early-on when it was in talks but don't think I actually knew it released either.
Modern light gun games on the Wii were one of my favorite aspects of the console. Maybe this will breath some life back into the genre for me. Would love go back and play Snatcher as intended, with the Konami Justifier shootouts! Also have very fond House of the Dead 1 (Arcade) & 2 (Dreamcast) memories.

While I played Snatcher via emulation, I'd enjoy trying it out with the Justifier as well.
Love some House of the Dead 1 & 2, and some Virtua Cop 1 & 2, but there are a few Saturn and DC light gun games I haven't had a chance to check out yet, such as Crypt Killer and Mission Confidential.
I haven't had a chance to play many of the light gun games on the Wii, maybe in the next year or so I can dive a bit into that library. Have a feeling I'd enjoy Ghost Squad and some of the console's other offerings.

On Wii, I had a lot of fun with RE Umbrella Chronicles. Dead Space Extraction was a cool addition, but I admittedly don't have a huge nostalgia for the source material.
House of the Dead 1 and 2 Return is also there. Man ... House of the Dead Overkill is just insanity. It's hilarious. It does chug quite a bit on Wii. I played it later on another system (PS3 via Move maybe?) and it ran a lot better.
I'll be watching this project to see where it goes. Love the idea of bringing light gun games into the modern era.
