Reviews for Nintendo Wii

Shooting games are one of my favourite game genre. With the Wii, the bundled wireless controller readily forms the key component for a light gun. What we need is simply a solid frame to put the Wii Remote into context.

We are Zapped
At E3 we saw the debut of the Wii Zapper, essentially a rather cool looking plastic gun shell. Slotting the Wiimote into the Zapper's frame with the nunchuk attachment as the grip, you end up with a two-handed light gun. A button on the grip pushes the B button on the Wii Remote to fire the gun. For me, The Tommy-gun layout was not comfortable and what made it worse was the squishy trigger. After a few rounds of using the Zapper, it ended up in a corner of my room.

But I had plenty of fun with Link's Crossbow Training, a bundled game with the Wii Zapper. In this game, you get into an arena of target practice shooting skeletons and goblins with a crossbow. For 20 bucks, it's a consolation for the disappointing gun frame.

Aiming for the Perfect Shot
Recently, Nyko released their pistol style, Perfect Shot for Wii. The Wiimote fits into a bracket at the top of the white and blue plastic shell. The wireless controller, when in place, tips the weight of the gun slightly forward, which I found to be rather nice to handle. A little orange cap holds the controller in place.

The nunchuck is connected via a port found at the base of the grip. It's a welcoming concept then having to tuck the wires in and out of the plastic shell like the Wii Zapper does. It also gives more freedom to movement as you aim and shoot with one hand, while controlling the nunchuk on the other.

Another feature which made the Perfect Shot the best gun shell so far is the spring -loaded trigger. I had a great time playing Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Ghost Squad when the trigger is responsive and firm.

For $14.99, I'd recommend this over the Zapper. Although it does not come with Link's Crossbow Training, the experience playing with Nyko Perfect Shot for Wii is definitely more satisfying.

There are speculations on whether the hot selling gaming console, Nintendo Wii, is going to triump over its other competitors, and is the Wii the baby of our next-generation console?

A lot of gaming fans will support the idea that the Nintendo Wii is going to change our perspective on how we view consoles. In fact, it's going to be market leader in the coming generations. For its other rivals, including Xbox 360 of Microsoft and Playstation 3 of Sony, they focused mainly on improving on technology that they have already implemented. But to the community of game enthusiasts, simply improving a step at a time will not be revolutionary. Believers agree that Nintendo attempted to deviate from the norms of gaming consoles, and the results are showing very positive signs. It may not have stunning graphics and ear-popping audio, but it has won over many gaming fans. It's coming into the market showed there can still be more room for creative developments.
