Brian DuBose the cover pedals would be a problem, though. To counter this, I’d probably make them use the GameCube jacks on top of the Wii corresponding to the player.

@camm9b095 5 жыл бұрын

Nuke Dukem That could be a good compromise. Maybe the pedals could still be buyable, but unnecessary. Just for people who want the authentic arcade feel (like myself)

Not sure why he didn't mention HotD 2 and 3. It's a great faithful port to the arcade games. Found it more satisfying than the Resident Evil games. I made a bad call with those. Probably more accurate on the PS3.

FYI Metal Jesus, Darkside Chronicles (2009) and Umbrella Chronicles (2007) are two different games. Both are on the Wii and PS3. Umbrella covers RE: Zero, 1, and Nemesis. Darkside covers RE:2 and Code Veronica. You should get the Darkside one too.

Umbrella Chronicles is absolutely one of the best games made for the Wii, though I believe they've received PS3 ports just like Overkill. Also, MJR, I'm surprised, you being a PC gamer too, you didn't mention Typing of the Dead: Overkill when you brought up the Wii version! What it loses in the solid motion controls department it makes up for with hilarious Typing of the Dead humor and Shakespeare. And, if you still wanna just shoot some zombies, you can play the regular game via mouse too, so there's that.

I especially like how the environment was kind of interactive, how you just could destroy everything and make a complete mess of the whole game. Furthermore I always felt that the whole Die Hard trilogy game was such an underrated game.

I love that you made this video! I've been obsessed with light gun games for the past year and was even hitting up gamestop grabbing a lot of these light gun shooters for the Wii for 2-3 bucks. Even have the big red buck shot gun to play them, but i still love an actual light gun with a CRT a lot more. Favorite light gun systems were Ps1 and Ps2. You can play Time Crisis games (all of them) and Gunfighter legend of Jesse james with a steering wheel with pedals plugged in the 2nd port and use it as a pedal in the game! Very Satisfying.

Arcade style light gun shooters have been my favorite since I was a kid playing the actually arcade machines with my dad. I agree the wii does have great light gun games!!! This is actually what drew me to the wii in the first place. Another game that I think is a hidden gem is the nerf gun game. My brother and I use to play it over and over and it's great for kids so a plus. The other resident evil, and house of the dead games are great too. Probably my favorite were... Shoot forgot the name... But is was an arcade machine in the late 90s. It was those police games with the real people standing up in the graphics. They made wii games that still had that cheesy was but still fantastic games!!! XD
