I've been thinking about a christmas present for my little brother. He's going to get Umbrella Chronicles already, and I thought a nice little pistol shell for the Wiimote might be a fun addition.
Do you have any suggestions which one to pick or to avoid? Or are they all basically the same and I should just go for price and/or looks?
That said, Link's Crossbow Training is pretty rad, so it's worth getting the Zapper with it. Though I think the game is only like $3 used at GameStop. The Zapper sucks nuts though.
Link's Crossbow Training is so much more fun than it has a right to be. Too bad the Zapper is useless for, well, anything else. It makes Metroid Prime 3 unplayable, and that's the only game I can think of that might have benefitted at all from it.

I played that game until I had the best medal for each level.
i have to say the perfect shot.
BUT I also have to say it is by no means perfect.
i dont know about anyone else, but i am crazy about shooters and can play them as long as WoW addicts. I find my hands cramping unusually fast holding the quick shot.

just my 2 cents
I mean, I still recommend the perfect shot... but as I said in my previous post, it doesn't really feel that great.
I'd say it's the best Wii Shell. But as a light gun, it's probably the worst "light gun" I've owned from the original PS1 Guncon on.
The Zapper is no good, at all, for Umbrella Chronicles. The Zapper is "okay" for some games once you take the time to get used to it, but it doesn't work for RE:UC because of RE:UC's control setup. It's impractical. But the Perfect Shot works great.
Now, as Delphinus mentioned, if you shootshootshoot with the PerfectShot, it's possible to cramp your hand. It's actually not necessary to pull the trigger 100% back to register, but who's thinking about that when they're being attacked by a bunch of angry zombies?

you fail for not keeping a cool head during a zombie invasion. In terms of people most likely to die in a zombie invasion, i rank you between sexy teen couple and token 90's black character.
believe me, ive tried everything to minimize crampage from the nyko. i current bought one in hopes of modifying the trigger and pull resistance.
Thanks for the help. As luck would have it UC isn't going to make it into my brother's hands until some time in January, so picking up the Perfect Shot will have to wait a while. It'd just be too cruel, otherwise.
I think most of the shooting games out there don't have actual aiming - you need to move the cursor, not point where you want to shoot.
It kind of makes the idea of a shell pointless.
Umbrella Chronicles is definitely like this. The point of the shell was for accuracy and "fun". Ghost Squad and I think House of the Dead have a more "aim" type feel.
The Nyko Perfect Shot is best suited for games supporting 1:1 calibration. Right now the only ones that I know of that do this are HOTD23 and Ghost Squad.
HOWEVER - there are 2 other advantages to it. One, it makes pointing and shooting like a gun more comfortable than the standard wiimote pointing and clicking. It's also easier to aim steadily (hold the cursor steady). So those are practical advantages even if there's no 1:1 support.
Secondly, some games, like RE:UC, it works to have a Perfect Shot because of those reasons but also because there's a nice passthrough on the bottom for the nunchuck. So it works a lot better than the wii zapper and you still can hold the thing steadily/comfortably as a pistol rather than a remote.
But it's best used for 1:1 calibrated games like Ghost Squad and HOTD23 since then it becomes an actual 1:1 lightgun
I haven't used the perfect shot, but I have no complaints about the trigger on the nerf. My only complaint is spending $60 on a game that loses interest once the "ooh, check out all the Nerf guns I can use" factor becomes void. Still, a great game if you're playing with your kid, or drunk, which ever.

Nyko Perfect Shot!

Can be easily found for $9.99 or less.
I would lime this more if I could.
that's some fine lime.
The lime must be drawn HERE
It's the better gun... but the trigger still feels too spongy.
I played that game until I had the best medal for each level.
so much fun.
yeah though, the Zapper is pretty terrible.
BUT I also have to say it is by no means perfect.

I've only seen the Nerf gun with the pack-in game, and not for cheap either. I do wonder about it.
And if all else fails, I think there's a YouTube somewhere of someone who made their own pistol shell out of Lego and elastics and stuff.
Edit: Here's what I've seen before.

And there's this guy who shows you how to make his version.

I wish my old guncons worked on HDTVS
Ghost squad at least allows you to calibrate pointing to the "corners" of the screen to allow you to point and shoot.

They didn't mention if the trigger on the Nerf gun was any better/worse than the Perfect Shot's trigger though..

Must buy when it drops to $40, in all honesty.
