    Rev Are third-party Wii Blasters pointless?

    via cvg

    Last week we reported that the first Wii gun controller had been made available, and now third-party peripheral manufacturer, Core Gamers, has unveiled its offering: the Wii Blaster. But how useful are they?

    The current selection of shooting games on Wii - Red Steel, Call of Duty, Far Cry - not only use the Wii Remote as a gun but also make use of buttons that would appear not to be reachable when using these gun adaptors.

    Nintendo told CVG: "A peripheral is only as useful as the software it's supporting," and apart from the simple shooting game in Wii Play, there doesn't seem to be anything else these gun controllers would work well with.

    Nintendo unveiled its own Wii Blaster at E3 last year and hasn't since mentioned it. Is it being held back until there's software for it?

    "What was showed was a prototype," said Nintendo. "We're not announcing any further details at this time."

    i think the complications of separate motions for each controller is more important.

    call of duty requires driving!

    and more importantly reloading and grenade throwing!

    it would be funny though, trying to reload without aiming at the floor, and always throwing grenades at your feet.
