What do you guys think?

[unseen psycho]

pfft, no wonder i give my nintendo wii to my son.

[kingsam]

Because it has a light gun? Give away all the other consoles ever too then.

[Mr. Solanky]

That thing looks pretty cool. I hope Resident Evil 4 uses this.

[StruggleWithin]

That actually looks sweet. I hope alot of games use it..

[Wingnut]

Why strap the Nunchuck to the Wiimote though? You will lose the motion sensitivity of the nunchuck which would be quite useful to have separate for some games.

That actually looks sweet. I hope alot of games use it well

That seems to be the main problem with wii ports. :P

[Einhander]

lol Is that a wild west revolver? Anyway, this is a good idea to make more money. You can strafe and shoot from the same device, while aiming with the gun. It still doesn't eleminate the need for the other controller (nun-chuck?) to actually move though. In reality all this is, is the addition of a second anologue stick.

Isnt this just plastic that connects the nunchuck and the wiimote?

I wonder how much this will cost.

You'll probably save a lot of money by putting them together yourself with tape.

And how can they say it brings amazing realism to games, when it looks like something your neighbours kids would run around with in a water fight

[tItcHiNeR_569]

It looks pretty cool. I especially like the idea of using the Nunchuck has the handle.

[Sockpuppet]

Suspected as much and yeh confirmed in the link, it's a Joytech third party accessory.

In theory it could actually work pretty well for first person shoots, but I suspect most shooters will be using the B button as the firing trigger making this setup kind of.....awkward.

It would be especially useless for RE4 which where you have to hold the A button to activate the aiming mode.

[Tobian]

I never was a big fan of controller add-ons. It looks cool though.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Didn't I just make a topic like this yesterday? http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=67463.

[Sockpuppet]

If you go by the pictures they are definitely 2 different models, unless this latest one is a design revision.

[SuperMario]

damn thats awsome, now thats what ps3 needs.
only more like a gatlin gun than apistol.

[pimpinyourmom69]

Yea, the ps3 should come up with a new controller like that. It would be pretty funy to use in Resistance and stuff. LoL one day one day

[Venger]

As pointed out that controller would probably cripple many of the Wii control schemes, which require both parts to move separately.

[AndrewB]

Umm, are people failing to do some basic research here? This thing is just plastic casing -- it doesn't provide any sharpshooter technology at all.

It's a pathetic non-innovation.

[arcticsnuffkin]

I think it could be fun but wouldnt it mean that the trigger is halfway down the barrel? you would have to change the trigger button to Z or C

[YNXOT]

That Looks Tight Just Like The Stiring Wheel For The Like Excite Truck And All Those Other Driving Games Thats Tight I cant Wait For It But Im Not Getting A Wii Till Like The End Of This Month Or Next Month Something Like That!

[Phaded]

The gun looks pretty cool and would be awesome with games like Red Steel

[coolguy]

thats cool.. i saw this on g4 the other night

[tmendick]

how the hell would this work well since most games ive seen use all the buttons of the nunchuck and remote, so it would be stupid since you would be holding the "gun" normally, but would still need to have your hand on top of it to actually use it effectively

I know it's off topic, but why the hell do you write with the every first letter capitalized? It's not quite as bad as all caps, but it's pretty bad to read, especially as there is no punctuation.
