Rick - when are people going to be able to play and find out?

[RickPowers]

E3 has Early Access for media this year, so they've already been down there for nearly 2 1/2 hours  Doors opened to the rest of the industry at 11AM Pacific, so I suspect the updates should start flowing very soon, as the media moves to the Media Center and away from the sweaty throng.

Lightgun

Here's another lightgun picture...

[willie1234]

I have to confess, although seeing e3 as a big success, I am puzzled that they held back on talking about the new classic controller AND the light gun, only to show it...the NEXT DAY! without any explanation.

nintendo never ceases to amaze...

I think that gun is actually REALLY cool.

[Ian Sane]

The gun looks kick ass.  It looks big so it'll give me that bad ass feeling I get when I hold my brother's shotgun with one hand.

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.

[RickPowers]

Clearly a prototype as far as the light gun "sleeve" is concerned.  As for the classic controller, it was in the press materials, so it wasn't exactly a secret.

That gun looks EXACTLY like the IGN mock-up.

What color controller is that in the pick? Ice blue? It looks......sexy, but black will always dominate when it comes to style.

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 Omen]

I wouldn't mind using that gun for all FPSs either.

That gun looks sweet.  YOu could play an fps with it because of the analog stick.  I'm sure it has the two buttons from the nunchuk too.  It wouldn't have dual gryos tho.

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.

Well, the biggest reason I had for wanting a gun attachment was an actual gunsight, and they didn't even get that right.  There doesn't appear to be any legitimate reason for this controller add-on.

[MaryJane]

it looks really cool is a good reason.

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.
