That's awesome. About damn time.
Now where the hell is my SSB?

This also bodes well for more surprise announcements today, such as my damn Kid Icarus! Perhaps by Namco...their list says 'Action title'.

It makes perfect sense. A whole lot of simple party games in one package with a Sports theme.
I think that would be sweet.

On topic, yay! I do hope it goes in as a pack in. Awesomeness.

AHHHHH...anyways Duck Hunt: I feel like it should be part of Wii Sports and that Wii Sports should be packed-in.

YOUR SSB?!?
I'm surprised we haven't seen more light gun games out for the Wii. The main barrier for light gun games is the fact that no one wants to spent the money on an additional peripheral.
With the wiimote, every Rev owner already likely has several light guns.

Ummm... why? Isn't that what the Wii-mote is for? Doesn't including that seem to take away some of the point of the controller in the first place?

It makes me wonder if this isn't some joke brought about by IGN, kind of like their April Fools Day joke a year ago for the GBA where Duck Hunt and Gyromight became part of the NES classics. Each also had a smaller version of thier respective peripherals (the Zapper and R.O.B for those who do not know).

Quoteactually, Nintendo announced the game one year ago, although I don't really know when actual development started (later than that, june/july maybe?)

Honestly, I don't understand how ppl expect SSB at launch when they just began work on it recently (remember when the news broke that they had JUST recruited the guy who did SSB:M to come back and do the Revo version? That was not so long ago). I mean, I'm a bit PO'ed that it's not on time either but this was sort of like launching the PS3 in the summer (in other words, not happening).

Last time Iwata phoned me up I asked him about it and he just said "lol i didn't even know what games we were making so I just said off the first one that came to my head."

The weird thing about that pic is the the traditional controller is connected to the remote. What's the point of that? That controller is designed for two hands. You can't be holding the remote at the same time.

Anyways, good news all around, although I think it's kinda thin for it's own game. Maybe a hunting game? Traverse different locales maybe? Maybe set traps and stuff of that nature?

The gun is probably an optional dealio as it doesn't give you anything the wiimote and nunchuk wouldn't have in terms of functionality. But it would be fun to own.l

It really doesn't actually. The remote mounted in the front was the only logical way to do such a thing. The thumbstick on the back was a lucky stroke, but I seem to recall that having been done on another controller before. Other than those two details, they're COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IGN even showed the two to show how similar they looked, which was kind of funny.
Seriously, anyone making a mock-up would have done the exact same thing, maybe sans the stick on the butt of the gun.
Frankly, with the remote already having a trigger and the nunchuck, I'm not sure why you'd even need such an add-on, but I'll get one anyway. :P

i kind of hope it won't be able to play all FPS games, then devs would have to make a game solely for it, therefor further legitimizing my purchase. But i'm going to buy it regardless, what i said would just make me feel better about it.
