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!

Spydarlee 10.05.2006#2

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

Do you reckon they should rename the console again to...the Nintendo peripheralii

dojo 10.05.2006#5

ok, so my joke was marginally funny, surely...

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!

I cant wait to be able to play duck hunt again.

A fail so epic, it may just be a win.

Mason 10.05.2006#8

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

Fenton 10.05.2006#9

Gotta get me one of those. Will be holding it shotgun style!

A fun little way to 'enhance' your blasting 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!

I don't want a hand gun, I want a damn pump action shotgun.

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...

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

And what's wrong with condoms?...

it probably used to walk around, look with the wii-mote around you and shoot with the trigger!!! Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

The Nintendo wii lightgun will teach children how to use guns and how to aim them, and also how to make them...[/jackthompson]

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

Brilliant!

Bring on the Wiisaber!

Kangaroo_Kid 10.05.2006#20

ok, so my joke was marginally funny, surely...

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.

WillHaven 10.05.2006#21

did you guys just copy the picture I posted and then stick your logo on it Smilie

knighty 10.05.2006#22

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.

TAG 10.05.2006#23

That looks awesome! This add on alone will make people think twice about calling nintendo kiddy! I can see it now....

"Dude! You just let that sitting around in your room?! What if you're little brother gets it?!"
"what?"
"Your gun!'
"Gun, what gun? Oh this, that's my game controller."

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