That gun accessory is hot

 

[Somnid]

Yeah give some info on who exactly is making this.

Also I believe it's a requirement that all toy guns in the US have at least a bright orange cap on the barrel, there's no way you could sell something like that in the US.

 

[neptunes]

I don't think nintendo would make an official Gun accessory.

 

[PkunkFury]

Wow. Is that third party or official Nintendo?

Regardless, that looks fun and well designed. Love how the nunchuck gets plugged into the bottom.

that is pretty awesome. Have we seen any other peripherals that allow you to chain multiple peices to one remote? That's actually pretty big news

 

[Stumpokapow]

I don't think nintendo would make an official Gun accessory.

of course they wouldn't

 

[WastingPenguins]

Y'know, couldn't they make a gun like that, but stick A and the +-pad on the backside of the handle (towardsthe top)? That would make the buttons pretty accessible to the thumb, but out of the way enough that you wouldn't notice them if the game didn't call for their use.

Right now, it's seriously lacking in button-accessibility.

 

[santouras]

looks great but falls apart if you need to press any of the face buttons really

 

[PantherLotus]

I thought it was cool until I saw this image. Then i thought it was FREAKING AWESOME.

Area 51 please?


And for controls, it's for light gun games. You need exactly 3 buttons:

1. trigger, reload (shooting off screen)
2. move forward
3. grenade


Everything else is for a keyboard.

 

[neptunes]

of course they wouldn't

That looks like a cheap toy, and was only display for concept purposes.

 

[santouras]

its not chainging multiple pieces into one remote, its essentially an extension cord for the nunchuck cable

 

[PantherLotus]

Don't forget that the nunchuck still has a little waggle in it, making for a nice punch when you're too close to get a good headshot.

 

[citrus lump]

Who's brave enough to buy it for GAFs sake?

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

I don't think nintendo would make an official Gun accessory.

Never.

 

[PantherLotus]

Who's brave enough to buy it for GAFs sake?

I promise I'll buy it. When the first AAA Light-Gun game (RE:UC) comes out.

Buy it for can shooter.

 

[Shinobix]

Is that kinda "home-made"?

1. trigger, reload (shooting off screen)
2. move forward
3. grenade


Everything else is for a keyboard.

Missing:
-Change weapon: you could press 1 or 2 on the Wii remote :/
-Crouch: Shame the joystick on the nunchuck can't be pressed (again could be replaced by the A button)

An extra button on the grip could be useful

 

[AniHawk]

The Wii version does look nice, but that's a picture from the 360 version.

Actually, that is from MLB 2K5 for the Xbox.

 

[MasterMFauli]

I love it when Reggie talks about videogames...it always sounds like it´s some serious business, that will change the world...i wonder what Reggie would do if he´d become president of the US...

Two pizzas for the price of one

Does it really matter at this point?


Lowered expectations and all.

 

[rollingstart]

Who's brave enough to buy it for GAFs sake?

is there a place online to order it?

nvm, if they accept money order or paypal, I might order it tomorrow.

Busy, frustrating day. Turns out the press in Europe didn't realize that the Paris press conference was under embargo until tomorrow, so a lot of stuff hit there before it should have. I quickly posted up the relevant news already and will have a shit ton of screens, impressions and videos tomorrow. McMike is at Nintendo as we speak and plans to post the few non-embargoed things later on tonight, the rest hits Friday. So it's going to be a busy rest of the week.

Un-embargoed info eh?

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Un-embargoed info eh?

So it seems.

 

[PolyGone]

holy flurking shnit

 

[fernoca]

The gun is really nice..though, with what Wii game(s) it works??

There's also this one, from a third party but similar to Nintendo's shotgun...

 

[Poody]

holy flurking shnit

Resident Evil Accessory confirmed?

 

[NomarTyme]

holy flurking shnit

I"m down with that!

 

[titiklabingapat]

It's seriously only $19.99. I'd buy that in a ****ING HEARTBEAT.

I usually scoff at the other third party gun accessories but me wants that!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Un-embargoed info eh?

Until tomorrow, eh?

 

[Geek]

^ Don't expect anything but info on The Bigs, Drawn To Life, Boogie, Carnival Games and Jam Sessions on the non-embargoed front.

 

[Nabs]

that gun shell looks great. now we need some lightgun games

 

[Ravidrath]

Yeah...

So I'm hearing that there really is nothing worthwhile that will be reveled on Friday when the embargo is lifted. Nothing on Metroid Prime 3, Smash Brothers or Mario Galaxy. They mostly just touted their success and then showed 3rd party stuff like the carnival game.

From the sound of it, they're saving EVERYTHING until their pre-E3 Media Summit press conference in July. :\

 

[methodman]

****. Even Metroid Prime 3 news? Shit.

 

[brandonh83]

Meh total. Oh well, good to know ahead of time.

[PolyGone]

no crystal bearers trailer = massive fail. MASSIVE.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

This light gun business got me thinking... why hasn't anyone used an actual light gun last generation to make a FPS? It wouldn't be as accurate, of course, but the gun can use the movement information to move the screen around. There should've been some rudimentary attempts, right?

 

[Avutta1978]

To tease us. They know we'll bite!

In the calibration screens of Point Blank 3 there was a 'drag the cursor round the screen' with the gun element, but it was far to laggy to be useful in-game.

 

[Tristam]

LOL. So Matt C. had me pumped up for nothing. "Big news" for Corruption he said. A release date and a handful of poor screenshots?

 

[VegaShinra]

There will be good news. I'm sure some of the big news will be in mags next month but something has to come out on Friday on MP 3. The whole event was about MP 3 according to Matt C last week. Ign fails.

 

[Vic]

From gonitendo that took from kotatu

One more confirmation of Nintendo Media Summit news this Friday

A portion of a Kotaku post…

McMike is at Nintendo as we speak and plans to post the few non-embargoed things later on tonight, the rest hits Friday. So it’s going to be a busy rest of the week.

[E-phonk]

The releasedate IS "big news" though, knowing that a game you anticipate that could've slipped into '08 - is coming in in less then 3 months is certainly news.
All the other stuff? Meh, we'll discover that ourselves when we play the damn game.

A trailer would be nice, but we know a new one will come eventually so it's not like we NEED IT NOW!8!

 

[Kobun Heat]

So as it turned out, Nintendo told me there was no embargo on Reggie's speech, then told Matt C. that there was.

We made up though.

Please tell me they let people play Prime 3 and grab some video.

Did you see that Perrin interview?
