Three Wii Guns Worth Taking a Look at

The Wii has a large number of lightgun games that make use of the wireless motion controllers. It was an innovation at the time it was released, making motion controls easily accessible for gamers and giving developers the ability to make unique games around this premise. Many studios have, indeed, made use of it, resulting in a large number of lightgun and on-the-rails shooters for the console. This has led to both Nintendo and other manufacturers trying to capture this market by making gun attachments or casings for the motion controllers. These are especially helpful for games where a higher degree of accuracy means life or death. Games such as Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space: Extraction, among others, make use of these casings. In this article I take a look at a couple of Wii guns that can make your gaming life easier and better.

The most popular is the Perfect Shot produced by Nyko. The product may be cheap, but offers a comfortable pistol-like grip that is ergonomic enough for extended playing sessions. The color scheme – white and blue – matches the console’s color, making it look like it is a first-party product. The trigger button allows easy access to the B-button with less strain; this makes the controller that much more comfortable. Reviewers across the web rave about the Perfect Shot, stating that it has a sturdy feel and has a high degree of accuracy. It also leaves the other hand free for making use of the Nunchuk controller. As a bonus, if you have other Nyko items, you can use their chargers to charge the Perfect Shot’s batteries.

Nintendo’s official Wii Zapper is another good choice. It comes bundled with Link’s Crossbow Training game, giving you something to practice your gun skills in. The plastic shell is very sturdy and has an ergonomic design. It houses both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, letting you control player movement while aiming at the same time. The game is said to be good, too. It has three modes and is fun, though not quite as feature-rich as dedicated titles like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Finally, there’s the Wii Sniper Rifle gun that, while being more expensive, is an authentic-sized product. You won’t be scaring your friends with it, though, since it has the same color scheme as the Wii, which means it looks like a toy. Also, the sniper scope and front barrel stand that comes with it are only for cosmetic appeal and do not increase game accuracy. While it is quite an interesting product, it is heavy due to its size and can be hard to use for long periods of time.

There are other Wii guns that are available at your nearest video game store. These are the most notable ones and are user-friendly and comfortable to use. They also increase the fun factor of shooters since it feels like you are the one who’s actually doing the shooting. Fun times!
