Does anyone have any conrete information about the Nintendo Wii Light gun? I have seensketches and prototypes - and apparently Nintendo is making one and Joytech is too. Release date I've seen is April 20th - anything else I missed? I'm super excited about this, but I cannot find anything but rumors, and little concrete information on pricing, release and availability in the US. - Ryan

It's not even entirely confirmed, but I am anticipating it too.

Will you be able to plug in your nunchuck to the lightgun or will it be a stand alone controller?  IF they combine the wiimote and the nunchuck on the lightgun, how will you be able to play games that have you shaking the nunchuck to do things in the game? IF you could plug the regular wiimote into the lightgun as an extension, would you be able to aim with both and aim at two different spots when you play a dual-wield shooting game?

No idea how some of the stuff would work, but i'm super excited regardless. I hope they make some sort of sniper game for Wii ...

Well the one shown by Nintendo awhile back had the Wiimote directly plugged into the shotgun. The Shotgun also had a control stick on it. So if the design does not change, then this thing will only be for certain games.

The one by Joytech, though, is just a shell. You click in your controllers (meaning the Wiimote and Nunchuck). So I wouldn't spend the money on this one because most games that require both controllers would be hard to play with this.

It looks like a fun idea, but will the light gun actually help you play games?

I think a actual gun device would help - I get too tired playing red steel (and soon-to-be-more) shooting games unless I lean my arms on something after about 30 mintues. Everyone complains about that when we play - but the shooting games would be more long-lived with a rifle or shotgun device ... just makes sense. Remember that sniper game on Arcade with the long green rifle? Silent Scope I think ... = FUN! - Ryan

Let's just hope that Nintendo doesn't start releasing a new controller for every type of game...

Meh, it looks like a cheap piece of plastic to me. That's just my opinion though.

If it will sell, Nintendo will offer it.  Just look at the steering wheel attachment, it isn't necessary to play the racing games, but it helps some and people buy it because it's cool.
