    E3 2006 News | Nintendo Wii Lightgun - First Image

    When we saw the Nintendo Wii controller for the first time, we instantly thought 'gun'. Perhaps not the most mentally stable ideas to come to mind so quickly, but to us it was obvious. Nintendo seem to be thinking in the same way, and are showing off a Nintendo Wii Lightgun at E3 2006.

    Needless to say it will be used in various shooting games, with Duck Hunt said to be on display using it at E3 2006. We'll try and bring you some more details on this device and any games that use it very soon. Stay tuned, folks!

    Looks good and pretty cheao to make seen as the Wiimote slides into it. Can't wait to start blasting stuff!

    This is my newer, bigger, reasonably sized signature. I hope it's not too big.

    Is it me or could that underside be like apressure-sensitive trigger? Or is it just a normal surface? Smilie

    Can't see how you fire the damn thing otherwise. Smilie

    I like it, though! Smilie

    The plastic looks cheap, and it looks painful to control with that c-stick just above the gun.

    You found the word nipple! And you love touching them!

    It's great. I assume the analogue stick can be used for the reloading trigger, too. Smilie

    WTF... This looks almost exactly like a mock-up ign.com made a while back, including the fact the Wiimote slides in it, and the analog stick there! WTF!

    Na, I don't want a hand gun either. I was (almost) perfectly happy with the wiimote just shooting at the screen without this... plastic-shotgun-condome...

    wrong with condoms? Nothing. I just don't want to wrap my Wiitroller in it.
    *thinking* may be a good business idea, though...

    Nope

    That is awesome, but it seems to me that when using the gun you'll only be able to reach the trigger and analogue stick, no buttons are accessable that I can see.

    Ok, who wants to bet that once the wii is released, load of companies will make gun holders?

    Maybe there is hope for a pump action shotgun. After all, all this does is hold the 2 parts.

    If you hold the front barrel as well, you could press all the buttons on the remote.
