Best Wii Gun December 20, 2007
213 out of 220 found this review helpful

I own the product (unlike the other reviewer) so let me tell you that this is the Wii gun peripheral that has set the standard as the highest in it's class. The Zapper is plagued by it's design to be held with 2 hands to shoot, while this gun can be held with just one hand and you have the option of plugging in the nunchucks for games that require it. When testing the game with Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, it is very easy to aim with and the game feels much more fun with the gun (in my opinion this is how Resident Evil:UC was meant to be played). The remote slides in and it is held in place so you don't have to worry about the remote slipping off. For those wondering, there is no slot for the nunchuck (like the Zapper) only a slot for you to connect it so that you can hold onto it with your other hand. It feels like your holding a real gun and it has a sturdy feel to it (of course the color scheme might not represent a real gun, but guess that's a minor drawback and really I think the color scheme is fine as it matches with the Wii). Also this is priced fairly when compared to other guns available and the other guns are not as good as you can tell from the reviews (exception would be the Zapper since it does come with a game).

I recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a Zapper yet (or for those who have a Zapper and is looking to upgrade or is in need of another gun for multi-player) and has the following games: Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles or Ghost Squad and any upcoming games such as House of the Dead 2 & 3 and/or any shooting game supporting the Zapper (not recommended for any other games such as Metroid Prime 3)

Note: The gun features a spring kick back (which is non existent in the Zapper). This feature is important as you can fire more rapidly. Before putting your remote in make sure you take off the wrist strap as it will not fit. Not recommended for game play sessions over 1 hour as your trigger finger will get tired.

Update: Any games that are compatible with the Zapper will use the 'Z' button on the nunchuck instead of pressing 'A'. For those wondering this does not mean you can play Resident Evil 4 or Metroid Prime 3 with the Perfect Shot as it is not "Zapper Compatible" (please check the back of any game box to make sure the game is Zapper compatible or not).

AWSOMENESS December 27, 2007

This is the best Light Gun Shell I've ever used. Works great with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, and even Link's Crossbow Training.

This shell is much more comfortable than the Zapper (I own both), you can use it with one hand easily, and you have a more free range of motion since there isn't a big thing on the back of the gun to hold a nunchuck, it just can plug into the bottom of the gun (The Zapper may be better for some games, in the future, but for now I'm sticking with this).
It was built to work with the Nyko rechargeable batteries, so I don't have to take off the grip/battery cover and risk having the remote shutting down or change to regular batteries and waste those, which is needed with the zapper.

The only thing I noticed that some people may consider a problem, is that there is no way to use a wrist strap unless you physically modify the gun yourself.

Great Gun for the Wii December 27, 2007
23 out of 23 found this review helpful

The only game I've been able to use this gun on is the target game that is on the wii play disk.

This is a great gun. The spring used for the trigger is perfect. The gun has a great feel to it and once the remote is added the weight of the gun feels good.

My only complaint is the fact that you have to take the wrist strap off to insert the remote. This isn't a big deal, but I think that NYKO could have created a small or hole that allowed the wrist strap to slide through. This will not be a big deal for most users as most guns have this same issue.

Overall.... Great Gun.

Finally a great Wii accessory! January 5, 2008
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

While playing Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, I noticed my wrist began to cramp after extended play. It was due to instinctively holding the Wiimote level like a gun, placing my wrist at an uncomfortable awkward position.

So when I saw the great review of this gun accessory on IGN, I bought two. They are great and make playing the game feel more fun. The Perfect Shot grip feels good in hand, although since I have a hand on the smaller side, my hand starts to cramp after a while. When playing Resident Evil: UC, nunchuk goes into your left hand and controls the knife (by shaking the nunchuk). If you were playing with the Wii Zapper docked in the back, you would have to awkwardly shake the entire gun to slash your knife. Not ideal.

If you have Nyko's rechargeable batteries in your Wiimotes, the Perfect Shot fits them snuggly (unlike the Guitar Hero III shell). You will be forced, however, to take off the wrist straps.

This accessory looks and works great and makes sense. This is what the Wii Zapper should have been. (However I understand that if Nintendo made it look like this (like a real gun), they would have taken a lot of heat from activists. They still took some heat for the Wii Zapper's tommy gun look).

Best lightgun for the Wii December 28, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

Look no further for a Wii Lightgun. Nyko did a fantastic job of designing this gun.

Lightguns are meant to be in this versatile pistol form, other formats that look like assault rifles (such as Nintendo's zapper) are cool but the novelty really runs dry fast as you start playing games that require pinpoint accuracy. It's a lot easier and satisfying to play shooting games with a pistol.

With that said the quality of this particular pistol is top notch. The spring in the trigger has a very satisfying feel (unlike the zapper) and doesn't have spongy feedback. The orange holder on the end prevents the Wiimote from falling (This is actually a common problem with generic Wii pistol periphials with games that require shaking the wiimote). Also there is a connection for the Nunchuck in case you need it (although the lightgun games I've played were just as fun without the nunchuck).

However, I do recommend getting the Nintendo Zapper in addition to the Perfect Shot, not so much for the Zapper itself, but you get the incredibly fun Links Crossbow training game as well, all for $20. Hands down the best bargain for the Wii.

The Nintendo Wii goes on sale on Sunday, November 19. Thanks to the inclusion of the simple--but infectiously fun--Wii Sports game, the Wii is the first console in recent memory that lets you have fun straight out of the box. Still, there are a few key Wii accessories you'll want to pick up to maximize your Wii experience--especially if you're buying it as a gift.

Extra controllers: Like all recent consoles, the Wii ships with just a single controller (well, one two-part controller: one Wiimote, plus one nunchuk). But the real fun of the system is playing the head-to-head Wii Sports games such as tennis and boxing. To do so, you'll need at least one extra set of controllers--and again, that's one Wiimote ($28.99) plus one nunchuk ($12.99). The Wii supports as many as four, but just the one extra controller set should suffice--at least for Christmas morning.

Rechargeable batteries: The Wiimote takes two standard AA batteries. They're included--with the Wii, and with the sold-separately version of the controller mentioned above--but avid players may find the juice draining pretty quickly, especially if they keep the nunchuk attached (it draws its power from the Wiimote). Instead of buying an endless stream of costly AAs, consider investing in a set of rechargeables. You can score a charger and four rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries for less than $25.

GameCube controllers: The Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Nintendo GameCube, but there's a catch: to play the GameCube games, you'll need a GameCube controller ($15.99). You can even go wireless with the Nintendo WaveBird ($59.99). If you already have a GameCube, your existing controllers will work just fine--just plug them in to one of the four ports underneath the flip-up panel on the Wii's topside. GameCube controllers should also work with the Wii's "Virtual Console" games--which saves you the trouble of having to buy a Classic Controller.

GameCube memory cards: One other annoyance when playing GameCube games: your progress can only be saved to GameCube memory cards, not to the Wii's internal memory or to an SD card (we're hoping Nintendo fixes this with a future firmware update). Like the controllers, your old GC cards will work just fine--there are two slots right next to the GameCube controller ports. If you don't have any onhand (and you want to save your games on GC titles), you'll need to spring for a $26.90 (2GB) memory card.

Wii Points: One of the big attactions of the Wii is its Virtual Console, which lets you purchase classic games that originally came from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the Sega Genesis, and the TurboGrafx16. By the end of 2006, at least 30 titles should be available, including Donkey Kong (NES), Super Mario 64 (N64), and Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis). To purchase the downloadable titles, you'll need to use a Nintendo currency known as Wii Points (similar to the Microsoft Points on Xbox Live), which currently have an exchange rate of 100 points per U.S. dollar. You can buy Wii Points directly through the console's online store, or use prepaid cards (2000 Wii Points) available in various denominations.

SD card: If you're close to filling the Wii's built-in 512MB of storage with your Virtual Console games, you can always expand your available space with an SD card. Nintendo sells its own, but any run-of-the-mill card will do. Fairly spacious 1GB cards are available for less than $20--even less with mail-in rebates--and they'll work in plenty of other gadgets as well.

Wireless access point: In addition to the downloadable Virtual Console games, the Wii offers online "channels," including news, weather, and even an Opera Web browser (head-to-head online gaming is said to be coming sometime in 2007). You can get online for free via the Wii's built-in Wi-Fi. To do so, of course, you'll need a nearby wireless access point or router. Alternately, you can plug the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any nearby PC on a wired network, and the Wii--plus your Nintendo DS--will be able to use it to get online instead.

Component video adapter: The Wii doesn't have the graphical horsepower to handle high-def graphics, but it can do DVD-level 480p video, which will look considerably better on large HDTVs. To see the Wii's games in 480p, you'll need Nintendo's proprietary component video adapter, which should run about $20.
