IF all of theses games make it for the Rev I will probabaly by them all.

I also liked Jurrassic Park in the Arcades and Virtua Cop 2 and T2 Arcade, those are some of my personal favorites.

Scary thing is, I'm not a light gun fan, and I've played or at least heard of most of these.  o_0  Is it 'cause the few there are are all really good?  Well, I guess having worked at Playdium explains it...  >_>

Why the list, though?  Are you expecting or hoping it will be a major genre on the Revolution?

My favourite lightgun game is Lethal Enforcers just because the home versions all came with there own special light gun (called the Enforcer) shaped just like the arcade version.  Unfortunately finding that game used is now total hell because it's useless without the gun.  And if you want to play two players you need the special pink gun that was only available from mail order so it's a total lost cause.  That's a game I would really want to see for the download service.

Though I think part of the thrill of a light gun game is that the controller is shaped like a gun.  Shooting things with a remote isn't quite as cool.

I can't find a spectacular link to it, but the best ever Arcade Light-Gun Game I've played is "Carnival King: Big Top Shooter".  My wife and I can spend hours (and many quarters) on this thing.

I also like the virtual clay-shooting game that uses a full-sized rifle.

Best light gun game bar-none is LA Machineguns from Sega.
It's Model 3 goodness..

Evil Night is not on that list.  What is Evil Night???  
A N64 looking HotD clone that runs on M2 based arcade hardware.

I like the idea of a shooting game with the remote and the nunchuka piece. It seems very futuristic to me, and actual guns are so standard with these types of games I'll gladly take something that looks nothing like a gun. It's the future!

I love Time Crisis. If we got a Rev exclusive I would die from a joygasm.

I owned battle clash, as well as point blanc and time crisis. Gun games are lots of fun and im sure we will see a new revolution of them coming out with the new controller. All fps will become a lightgun game in theory.

Rail-shooter/light-gun games can do so well on the REV.  A great genre to have for partys and such.

From Time Crisis to those carnaval games.  

Nintendo has to capitlize on this.

well mister Ian Sane I woudl like to rub it in that I actualy own BOTH Lethal Enforces for Sega CD and YES I have the Gun but its called "JUSTIFIER" not ENFORCER. Just so you know. And I agree those are some of the most fun games I have ever played on my Sega CD.



But I have found that finding that pink gun is a pain int he butt, but I only play it 1 player anyways so it doesnt matter to me.


So NWAHAHAHA!

Resident Evil: Dead Aim would be great with the rev controller/nunchaku. In the PS2 game, you had to move around with the d-pad on the back of the GunCon, or use two controllers - a dual shock for movement in third person, and light gun to shoot in first person. It was still fun and an interesting take on the RE series, though. Hopefully we'll get another on the revolution. If not Resident Evil, I'm sure there will be plenty of others.

...oh, and I'd love to see a Panzer Dragoon lightgun/rail-shooter game on the rev, too... (sega plzplz!)

Couldn't the Rev have an attatchment to be shaped like a light gun?
And what about Yoshi Safari?
