E3 2006 News | Nintendo Wii Lightgun - First Image

I like the look of the ligt gun holder, but i think i'd prefer to use the Wiimote and nunchuck for search and shoot games.

I don't think the analogue stick will have much use. I've got the g-con 2 light gun and dino stalker game. In that, you use the dpad (on the g-con2) to move while you shoot. I found that it made it too difficult to actually get any accuracy and also hurt your hands after a while. You want a gun game to be as comfortable as possible (Sega Army and DC owners will know that from House of the dead 2 and confidential mission - some perfect shooting right there!).

But if the light gun holder was made for the idea of bringing gamers like Time Crisis and (fingers crossed) house of the dead, where movement is auto-matic, it'll be good for menu's or swopping weapons. Also, shooting down any unsuspecting ducks!

If I were IGN, I would be very happy right now. Reading the IGN article about this news they seem more than happy that a mock-up of theirs has been taken official. Even if Nintendo had this idea in mind for a long while, at least they saw the practicality in it and noticed how the gamers wanted it.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

it looks like its meant to be held in two hands shotgun style but i cant see a trigger near where you hold it so i assume you would have to use the B button on the wiimote which would defeat the idea of having this add on.
