Space Friend Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hello everyone. Me and a friend of mine are going to be getting into some co-op lightguns games on his Wii. He has the standard Wiimotes. I'm wondering, Is there really much of a difference in accuracy/response between these and the motion plus wiimotes? Like would you be able to tell instantly if someone swapped it on you?

homerj Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I havent noticed any difference at all but I dont think any of them were designed to take advantage of WiiMotion Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) To add to what's been said, here's a useful list of Wii and Wii U releases that supported Wii MotionPlus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_Wii_MotionPlus If it's not on here, it can't take advantage of the added capabilities of a Wii MotionPlus equipped Wiimote.

Space Friend Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Nice! I don't think I see anything on here that I would care about, except for Skyward Sword, if I ever get around to that. Until then I think these things are off the list for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightgungamer Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thee are loads of great lightgun games for the Wii. It has one of the largest collections around. Here is a really good list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gun_games The downside is that the wii remote isn't exactly like a real lightgun. This is a good site for working out how to play them all on an emulator fo that you can use a'real' aimable lightgun that you can use without needing a cursor on screen: https://lightgungamer.com/category/wii/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Yes, there is a mind blowing difference. But the difference isn't due to the motion plus functionality. The motion plus devices happen to be more accurate outside motion plus mode...

I feel like I've really missed out on this genre, as the only system I ever had a gun for was the NES. I did get to play some great arcade examples though. I'm glad to see there are options out there for revisiting these beyond what was re-released on the Wii. On 8/12/2019 at 12:44 PM, Boojakascha said: Yes. Yes, there is a mind blowing difference.

I made a video about it: Great video, I had no idea there were so many cradles and guns released for the Wii; I should have looked harder. I have that Nerf cradle you showed, in addition to the zapper. I like both of them, for different games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware of the NESLCDMOD project? You can play many NES light gun games on modern TVs using patched ROM files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
