Some Sega lightgun game that allows for four players (doesn't say if this mode's co-op, but there is at least 2-player co-op). Apparently it's a lot like Virtua Cop.
This makes two lightgun style games for Wii now, yes? I am pleased.

...and seriously, this game should've come out by now. I have no idea why people are dragging their feet on such obvious, cheap, and markettable releases. Maybe UbiSoft can make their own light gun game and pack-in a pun-shell that costs $20 extra?
Oh, but I've actually heard that Ghost Squad is apparently a very good game, and we can see from the link (and elsewhere) that it's not just shooting but multiple paths, Quick-Time Events, and semi-random enemy patterns... oh, and bomb defusing.

Good substitute for Time Crisis, and good way to kill time while exercising your useless trigger finger muscles that got tired of playing phailed Wii WWII shooters.

Pretty fun game though, and yes it pretty much is run off a dreamcast. In the arcade it uses a Naomi board, which is almost exactly like a DC except it has twice as much system and graphics memory.
On a side note, I really wish Sega would have designed the guns a little better..the damn things always break.

Every bar with a few arcade machines usually has a Golden Tee somewhere in that collection, even though I've never seen anyone play it before.

Well Golden Tee is still popular in some places, mainly bars and such. But as far as arcades go, it doesn't get too much play anymore. It's one of those have to own games, but it's never on our top 10 list. Actually Ghost Squad is always in our top 5, the rail shooters seem to always be a favorite. HOD4, and TC4 are always up there too.

Each level has three different versions, basically an easy, medium, hard type settings, but they have different paths and such so it's not just more enemies.

IGN Wii: For the Wii version specifically, what has gone into the game that wasn't included previously in Ghost Squad? Are there any new modes or gameplay elements?
Yosuke Okunari: This time, the game supports four-player gameplay. The two-player gameplay of the arcade version is very exciting, but we want the Wii users to play Ghost Squad when inviting friends and playing games with four friends.

IGN Wii: How does the four-player multiplayer work on Wii? How is this different from the main game?
Yosuke Okunari: I can't tell you the details yet, but we want to offer enjoyment of competing skills with friends other than just the co-op mode similar to the two-player multiplayer of the arcade version.
The wording is kind of awkward. To me it sounds like they're adding some competitive mode for 4 players, either in addition to a 4-player co-op mode, or instead of 4-player co-op.
I don't really care either way, as long as there's 2-player co-op.

but according to SEGA representatives, there will be a calibration portion where you can remove the reticule so you can aim using your eyes.
And with this announcement, real light gun type aiming becomes a reality. I expect more light gun games ported third parties, you're on notice!
They even explicitly state 4-player co-op! YES!!!
Quote
The final version of the game promises four player cooperation, each having their own Wii Remote blaster.
Also, it sounds like the nunchuck has minimal involvement, the analog stick just being used to toggle stuff, so then this might actually be useful!

The game doesn't look quite as sharp or move as smoothly as its arcade counterpart, but it's a damn close representation.

I picked this up last week. It's AWESOME. Classic light gun fun. Even better with the Wii Zapper.
Post by: Kairon on November 27, 2007, 04:35:18 AM
Oh, and "party mode" is the 4-player co-op mode through the game, which doesn't record your scores for unlocking/ranking purposes, but has access to ninja mode and paradise mode.

This is really weird.. I've never seen anything like it. I had no problem getting a Wii on launch day. Had no problem getting Pokemon, Zelda, Mario Sunshine and Galaxy, you name it. I walked into the store and bought them. But somehow.. the Zapper is sold out at every single store in my vicinity.

The game can still be played wiimote only, or with a third party zapper. Don't be afraid!

I will test this over the break with the zapper, the third party Penguin United hand-gun zapper, and the PEGA tommy-gun style zapper with detachable nun-chuck section.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 22, 2007, 11:01:27 PM
1. Generous spacing between pistol grips (not cramped like the Zapper).
2. "V-notch" sight groove at the back end.
3. "A-notch" at the front end (to work in conjunction with the V-notch).
4. Adequate trigger extension for B-trigger.
5. Adequate clearance for Nunchuck Z-button.
6. Convenient housing for Nunchuck cord.
The Wii Zapper fails on multiple levels already, unable to provide the light-gun conditions I'd like to test out with Ghost Squad with the on-screen reticule disabled.
These are the three closest ones I've seen, and they still fail.

Post by: Smoke39 on December 24, 2007, 01:56:37 PM
The perfect shot looks like it at least has a more comfortable grip, and a better rear sight.
PS Ghost Squad is lotsa fun.
