Indeed, though I am now looking for it for the Saturn (I know its not a great port but still would be cool to have). I do remember having a pirate version of the Typing of the Dead on my PC back then - probably one of my favourite cross overs :D
House of the Dead 1, the original, can't be and will never be on anything because the source code is lost. Some Sega workers admitted that years ago. One of the reason's the game was rebuilt from the ground up in the recent remake that was release for the switch, ps4, and steam.
You should totally get Sin and Punishment 2 for the Wii. It's a really great and unique on rail shooter; you actually control the character on screen and have to avoid damage, but the game is on rails, it's really awesome.
Sin and Punishment. Gunslingers (Western Heroes in PAL Region, i think). Nerf Strike (which is alot like a House of the Dead style but futuristic and Rated G/PG), and Dino Strike are also some really good Rail style Lightgun shooters on the Wii.
Thanks for the suggestions! I have Sin and Punishment in my backlog (still sealed) but the others I need to hunt down. Nerf Strike definitely intrigues me - love House of the Dead! :D
Have all of these and they’re great! Got Dead Space Extraction when it first came out, still has good graphics for what it is! Also you have the option to turn off the reticle in (some) of these games’ options menu. Also, there are over 14 light gun games available on the Wii that are good. Also look for Dino Strike made by “Zoo”. Lastly look for the virtual console arcade port of Star Force, an early 90s on-rails shooter. You will have to find “alternative ways” to download this title though now though. Hope all this info helps :)
Excellent input! I need to look around for your suggestions and what I can find locally. Metal Jesus Rocks had a couple in his latest Wii hidden gems video that are cheap. The Wii definitely saw a bit of a resurgence of light gun games due to its controller!
You missed Links Crossbow which is pretty challenging, Target Terror & Mad Dog Mc Cree are so bad there good but very short & hard .. Try “Western Heroes” .. other shooters such as Goldeneye & quantum of solace are good .. all Medal of Honour & Call of Duty are a different experience on the Wii 😀
Good catch - I still need to pick up Links Crossbow, for some reason I thought it was more of a mini game type thing that was bundled with the zapper. Will also need to hunt down Western Heroes. 2 to add to my list. I have got CoD and Goldeneye and you're totally right - the use of the wii pointer to aim makes it very different and takes some getting used to - have you tried The Conduit?
Good call out. Haven't come across this one :). Will keep an eye out! Have been picking up some light gun games for the Saturn lately for a nostalgia overload!
Ha, yes I am tempted to get it. I actually first played Maddog on PC back in 1995 and remember thinking the video was so good. I recently got it again for PC and the video is actually very low resolution. There is also a mad dog Wii game called 'the duel' or something which is just 1 on 1 Quick draw shoot outs, though I haven't found a copy for sale (yet)
If you like games akin to Point Blank, my #1 unlisted game here is Link's Crossbow Training. Yes the levels are fast, but you have 3 challeneges per level, secrets to find (no diverging paths), and just everything about it is Tier 1. I love Ghost Squad the most, then Gunblade NY, but after that, getting the Zapper Bundle is almost a MUST for pickup and play arcade shooting.
Im still on the look out for a Zelda Zapper boxed pack in for the collection but its behind Point Blank 3 for me. I've got most PS1 light gun games but I am being a bit cheap, Point Blank 3 seems to go for about $70 here on ebay - I like to hold out until I find one around the $30 mark (though I think thats getting less and less likely... :D)
It boggles my mind how House of the Dead 1 was never on Wii. :(

What a chill video. Thanks a lot for your valued perspective. Wii is the best sleeper console.
My pleasure!
Wii ligtt gun best game Target Terror
I know - Ive never seen a PAL version for sale and the NTSC ones seem quite pricey on ebay hey!
You should totally get Sin and Punishment 2 for the Wii. It's a really great and unique on rail shooter; you actually control the character on screen and have to avoid damage, but the game is on rails, it's really awesome.
Hehe, yeah I hear so much about this game on other RUclips videos, I really need to track it down. Sounds good old fashioned arcade fun!!
Target Terror is now a saved Ebay search but hasnt come up yet :). Any others I should look for?

Your're Missing Heavy Fire: Afghanistan its a really good one. a Long campaign not short like the others and has good graphics.
Awesome suggestion, will need to keep an eye out (or a saved eBay search) - though I've not seen it in the wild here in Sydney yet :D
Can you turn off the crosshairs in some of these games?
Oh overkill's map is the map of Paris >_
Martian Panic
Good call out. Haven't come across this one :). Will keep an eye out! Have been picking up some light gun games for the Saturn lately for a nostalgia overload!
