I own the Retroshooter Red & Blue bundle, and it was worth every penny! Although i'm sorry to say, i use the RS Pandora Box to play Classic Arcades a lot more than playing the lightgun shooters. It's the Best Pandora Box to date.
I totally understood review cycles and how a bunch might come out at once. But hot damn if I've never been more interested in spending 300$
Looks pretty good. I hope you will do a follow up with the final version if you do end up buying them.
Would be nice if the IR sensors were black to blend in with the TV more though...
we will take that into consideration, the black would look cool.
@@theretroshooter Thanks for considering it :)
If I didn't already have the Sinden I'd be all over these, I've already done the setup work for that and it's nice to not have to use IR sensors. That said if you are looking for a lightgun solution then these are looking like the best new solution.
Looks awesome, but I wish they spent more time making the sensor housing look more presentable..
I wanted some light guns for the longest time. We have a small arcade next to our local cinema that has some multiplayer cabs so I was keeping myself happy with them. Then I got a VR headset and man, I can't tell you how much time I've played in light gun like games, rather shooters on rails. From haunted houses with light guns, to time crisis like games. Both being actually in the game, and standing in front of virtual cabinets. It's fixed my itch for sure, and honestly even with the default controllers because you only see in VR a gun controller anyway it's not a huge deal and feels like trigger anyway... but that solenoid recoil, I would love that in VR. Really the only thing that's missing.... but this is the kicker for me, they're the same price as a VR headset and that's a hard pill to swallow.
Hello sir, I want to get something to play, that VR you are saying sounds good, what is it the name? Where can I get one? Thank you
@@josemadrazo3131 Sure, here are a few. Crisis VRigade and Crisis Brigade 2. These are basically time Crisis games and play the very much the same in a VR setting.
Then Operation Warcade VR is a slightly different take on VR, mixing first person VR with 3rd person VR and a cabinet view allowing you to jump in and out of the action.
The haunted ghost train ride is 'Ghost Town Mine Ride & Shootin' Gallery' but if you're wanting something more exciting there is Epic Roller Coasters, both offer a ride and shoot style point system. Just keep in mind that rollercoasters are a bit more coaster themed.
I have a botocera build running on steamdeck ( Linux) Will this work without too much trouble?
@@theafchefstable8284 yes, the RS3 Reaper is plug and play with Batocera V39 and above.
Thank you for mentioning us Lefty's
I'm torn I was going to buy the sinden guns but this looks good.
Decisions, decisions😎
$64 shipping ? Offer slow cheap shipping. I dont care if I receive it in 5 days.. I can wait!
I haven't pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on any modern solution for light gun games. My Wiimotes work really good for all the games on the Wii and on PC. The polling rate is super fast as well.
I have the Wiimotes as well in a black glock for me and pink glock for my wife. They are surprising very good. but I would like to upgrade to something better but I have so many arcades near me that I prefer to play light gun games there instead of at home on Batocera. But if I had a better gun perhaps i would play more? i doubt it though. How often do you play light gun games?
@@retroman-- I play them pretty often. I honestly like the relaxed nature of playing light gun games at home with a cross hair because constantly having both my arms up to aim down sights gets tiring really quickly though I do have a dedicated CRT for 5th generation consoles and down so I can play games like Virtual Cop on my Saturn and Time Crisis on both the PS1 and PS2. I was one of the first if not the first to publish a video showing a Wiimote being used in MAME and how to setup a Wiimote to be able to work as a light gun in MAME. That being said I have had the money to get any of these modern solutions for light gun games, but I just love the versatility of the Wiimote by being able to map all of its buttons and motion controls to any game. Blue Estate on PC is one heck of a modern light gun shooter that works very well with the Wiimote with the extra controls the game uses. I wish that the Touchmote software that I use had away of compensating for the sensor bar being at the top or bottom of the screen like the Wii does so I could calibrate the aim to not need a crosshair for aiming. However the Touchmote software was not made for playing light gun games, but more for being an air mouse or an alternative game controller. Still, for what it is, it's still quite incredible and highly reliable.
@@OldsXCool Hi, you should try "lichtknarre". It really IS the ultimate light gun tool for the wiimote on PC. Trust me, I've tried all other softs like Touchmote.
I see people complaining about the price...seems pretty reasonable, to me 🤷♂️
Compared to Gun4IR it's very reasonable.
@VanDammage87 That's what I thought
In that case buy me 2 iPhones only a couple grand, pretty reasonable as well
Decent pricing.
Nice to have a good quality option significantly cheaper than Gun4IR.
@@VanDammage87 I would invest for my Retro Shooter. I should have waited if this was coming out!
Little frustrated that I recently bought the base guns not knowing these were coming.
That's a bummer... And what eBay is for I guess.. Hope you can get them dude
Finally got an email from polymega that my gun is on it's way, hopefully it gets here soon.
As someone with Sindens, and also a CRT with a lot of original console light guns, I’m really tempted to order this. I barely use my Sindens, the software is pretty rough (I’m a software dev and a very technical person, and it’s hard for me). I like that I can use the Sindens with less hardware setup (can move my pc to a different room as en example), but their recoil also is lacking for me, and really could have used an external power supply to keep it going like these do.
Gun4ir was a non starter based on its price, this is really attractive though…
Yeah I feel you on the Sindens.. i like them.. but there are some annoying factors with them. The recoil definitely could have benefited from additional power for sure. I still have my Sindens, and am waiting on the final versions of these.. there are pros and cons to both. Gonna depend on whats more convenient I suppose, the ir sensors versus the sinden software 🤷
@ I just ordered the full 2 pack with the pedals and everything lol. Watched a few more review videos and they seem to hit most of my Sinden pain points. Not sure if I’ll sell the Sindens or not, will see once I get these.
I really want to snag these for my daughters. They would have a blast.
This looks great, I was thinking a lot about the Sinden, but this looks very tempting. Although I still have a few questions: (sorry if there is a double post of these questions, I think there is an issue with my comments on RUclips with another account)
1) Will there be other colours available in the future? Black is okay, but I would really like a classic retro electric blue one instead.
2) The purchase options on the website seem very limited. Will there (for example) be an option to simply buy a full single user setup that comes with everything to get going for 1 user on a PC? (Ix handgun, 1xpedal, plus the sensors and power pack/hub). Because some folks don't have other people to play with and a second gun is simply a waste. Plus a single user pack could also save them quite a bit of money too?
3) What are the features of the sub machine gun? It looks really cool but does it also have recoil ? And what about reload buttons and navigation buttons etc?
4) It would be really nice if the sensors were not grey/white, because currently they totally stick out like a saw thumb on a black TV! I really think If they were black instead, it would be a lot less visually intrusive on most TV's. Then I think I could leave them on my lounge room TV permanently (and tuck all the cables away neatly) so that they are always ready to go without needing to setup again,. Because otherwise it would just mean it hardly gets used (like my racing wheel!), if I gotta go through all the cabling every time. Just thinking about real world practicality here.
$505 AUD for the 2 gun pro bundle, including shipping.
Would've liked to know how the setup process is as that's why I never used my Sinden and ended up selling it. From what I've seen of these modern light guns, they sweep how much of a pain they are to set up correctly under the rug. The hardware can be the best out there but if I can't get it to work it doesn't matter.
Agreed, that's also why I never used my Sinden and had these developed instead. They work like a mouse and keyboard. So, put the sensors up, plug it in, set your buttons and start shooting. Do you already have an emulation system on a PC? We also offer a new console with newly developed games, just plug the guns in and press start and you are going. Everything is already setup.
@@theretroshooter YOU ARE CHARGING 60 DOLLARS FOR SHIPPING! WHAT A RIP OFF!!! YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND!!
@@carlosprieto1242 we ship with express post from Asia. We are also shipping gun shaped items and not many shipping companies want to touch them. And DHL jacked their price for Q4
Been upgrading my MK Arcade 1up. Last Christmas was a pandora box 10th anniversary with harness, sanwa joysticks, and buttons. I’m not big on setting up software so pandora made that easy. Apparently retroshoter and pandora box plug and play together so hopefully this upgrade will be as easy as the last. This is year I’m getting this to finally play all the lightgun games I haven’t been able to play yet. Just gotta figure out how I’m going to mount my holsters on the cabinet.
yes, these will work with the Pandora 10th you have. You will need the 24v hub and power adapter.
Thanks for the review! Is it possible to lower or disable the flash that happens for every shot? Thanks!
always covering the coolest stuff.
agreeded!
Nice!! I might have to get this. I think the price is reasonable also.
Realistic reload looks nice.
Can you play these light gun on the Nintendo Switch?🔫
Do you have 2 of them? Can you show some 2 player gameplay? No pressure if it's not possible.
I only have one, which is just the prototype I showed in the video. I will have a pair once the final versions are released.. ill do a follow up then.
@@Madlittlepixel/videos Thanks for replying. It was interesting that I saw the RS3 Reaper listed at the bottom of the checkout page 2 days before it was listed on the main page of retro shooter, while I was intending to order the red/blue retro shooter bundle. But anyway I pre ordered for the Pro2 bundle of the RS3 Reaper lightguns as well. So will be waiting for it to deliver.
So I know they say “this isn’t an emulation box” anymore due to their lawsuit, but can you load emulators on their console they send you?
We never had a lawsuit. Our new console can not play ROMs, it plays the new games only.
@@theretroshooterWhy is the shipping cost so high for your products? You should offer cheaper shipping rates below $64.
Just bought one. Hope I can play Killzone with it.
I wish you could pull a dummy magazine down and back up again to reload
i'm sure someone will DIY mod it.
That's sick the autofire mechanical recoil thing. If this works on Linux, I might have to pick one up.
Yes, plug and play with batocera images. Super easy to get going.
@@theretroshooter very awesome
Great video! If you want to get rid of the Sinden gun I be more than glad to have them as I make arcade gaming content for my channel and need a light gun.
Ron, it's not November until I hear you review the Black Friday deals and make body slamming grandma jokes 😢
I hope I am able to do some kind of black friday content... But it seems each year things keep changing... But I definitely wanna arm bar some grandmas for some Pj's and video games so we will see!
Only 3min into this video...wow this looks impressive! Hopefully it won't be too expensive. Thats what keeps me from buying the more expensive guns. I just dont enjoy playing light gun games OFTEN. They are more fun at the arcade (which we have so so so many near me)
Yeah, I'll stick with Sinden. But def looks like a huge improvement over standard retro shooter guns.
We need!!!! NEW EMS TOPGUN 3 , Was so good for 77$ , Best lcd light gun ever made witch is why people pay 700+ just to have one.
Does it work with a huge projector screen? (3m base, 134 inches diagonal) if the ir emitters are properly installed?
Wonder if can use it with 100” projector screen
I can’t get sinden lightgun to calibrate on retropie for some reason, frustrating 😐
The RS3 Reaper will work with Batocera.
I'd pay $50 extra for a left handed version... I'm left handed, and not having that little thumb button would suck :(.
We will take that into consideration and see if we can produce another mold.
Im left handed and had to force myself to shoot right handed with real pistols for this reason. Being that you can map the button on the bottom to it’s function it shouldn’t be to much of an issue. Now let’s get realistic and make it to where you have to hit the mag release then the button on the bottom to simulate putting in a fresh mag. That’s when you’d need ambidextrous controls. Would be more fun too
@@AlphaFirefighter47 That would be a ton of fun!
Better than Sinden?
Considering its 24v id want a thicker cable (its actually 2 cables one power and the other usb in insulation hence the thickness) as well I've owned sinden guns for 2yrs no issues I've had sensor light guns before there annoying yes the white boarder is slightly annoying but 1 gun = 1 usb, no external power no extra cabling for Ir sensors no junction boxes etc i prefer 1 cable plug and play yes a bit more on the software side but that's my preference...
Is the solenoid replaceable for the recoil?
What would you like to replace it with?
@theretroshooter A bigger solenoid for more power and kickback.
@theretroshooter Actually, I just checked out their website. The Reaper uses a 24v solenoid. That should provide enough recoil weight for me.
@@miltonbates6425 oh, don't you worry, it kicks nice and hard. You can make it a bit lower with one of the dip switches as well.
@@theretroshooter Sweet. Definitely going to pick one of these up.
Whats a good place to get the newer lightgun games like Jurassic World?
you can find them online or with one of the drive builders.
What makes you think this is 3D printed? Totally looks injection molded. What might be 3D printed is some parts like the triggers, buttons etc. but the shell I would say is not.
It was an error, we were initially sending him a professionally 3D printed Reaper but just before it shipped out we had a sample from the injection mold factory arrive at the warehouse. The mold had to be changed after it shipped so it's not the exact finished product.
Why is shipping $65?
Do these work with emulators and old games like time crisis / house of the dead?
Do you know, Will this work with gun4ir emitters?
Play Dead space extraction on PS3 recently. It's a really decent experience better than anything on wii are switch.
gun looks nice. I dunno if I CBA with sensors tho
With the bundle does it come with games or do I hav to rom them let me kno if u see This
The bundle with the console has 20 mini-games. We are developing more games to go with the console in the future. If you don't use the console, you can get images online that have everything you need.
A dumb question: would it work with the normal Pandora console with the 24V Hub USB?
if you have the Pandora 10th version, yes with the hub.
Do we know if the tracking is technically better than Sinden?
1000hz polling rate makes no difference the fastest IR cameras are 4-5ms frame capture. Gun4IR came out with a 1000hz update but he literally said it's does nothing and was just to shut misinformed ppl up.
I use a G4IR TC4 gun it has way more kick but these are a tremendous valuel.
hay pixel great video as always but you and i need to talk about that box of foundations next to the t.v bro if your on mtgo or spell table let me know
You can get a ring controller, Has 4 ps2 style buttons and 1 ps2 analog controller with 2 thumb buttons on the side. It's very much like a wireless Guncon 3 for 15$
R1 Mini Ring Bluetooth4.0 Rechargeable Wireless VR Remote Controller
What's a ring controller? Ah OK, just looked that up. Looks interesting. Does it work on Batocera as a gun then?
@@creechrfeechr8094 It`s kind of like if Sony made a Wireless Wii Nunchuk Controller. Not good as a light gun, It semi can be used as a light gun as it also can work as an air mouse. It best used like a GunGun 3, Light gun in 1 hand with it in the other.
@Thrakus that's cool, thank you. For me, this reaper light gun is a bit too expensive. I've been using a Wii remote which works OK tbf, but I'll look into this one too.
@@creechrfeechr8094 Does it work with Wii Nunchucks? For games like resident evil dead aim? I hope EMS makes a new light gun are someone as it was perfect and only 77$
@@Thrakus I have honestly never tried it, sorry. Its simply a basic light gun replacement for me.
I would be interested but would love if there was some adapters for the DC and a few others systems. Have they said anything about compatibility with those? I mean I would LOVE to play Virtua Cop 1 and 2 off the Saturn with this.
All comes down to I/O.
Quite a task to develop a receiver/s that will read the input correctly in to any given console.
DC may be the easiest I guess with Windows CE.
I've been holding off on a good lightgun solution for a while, largely down to cost. But, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and sort a moderate pc and probably these new retroshooter guns.
Currently use Aimtrak on PS2 - works, but a little temperamental.
oh yeah, you can play those games, this will play on a PC and a PC can emulate pretty much any lightgun game out there. I was playing Virtua Cop the other day with it.
Any chance you think this could work with the PlayStation classic?
Nice! Thanks.
How many games on the console it just says 20 new games
at the moment there are 20 mini-games. We will continue to develop more lightgun games for the console. We have a full-time dev team
Reminds me of the Arcade Guncon's 😅
Noob question , does the gun come with the software to play the games? Or is that something one has to do aswell , ie: download an emulator ?
you would need to download an emulator.
Those punk heads raised the price $10 since this posted last month. jokers.
8:10 the hell is that input lag?
Seems like it?
So, does the emulation console box have real games (classic arcade games like time crisis and house of the dead) on it or not? The website description sounds like they supposedly created their own original games.
The site mentioned that the new console has newly made games, but nothing retro (this is because the original Retro Shooter multi game consoles led to trouble with SNK over the use of some of their games)
Newly developed games. We will continue to make games for that console. You can use the lightguns on PCs as well.
Would be cool if there was a setting to hide the cross hair 🍻
there is, you can hide it on most games, it's not related to the lightguns.
@ oh cool, thanks! 🍻
I wanted to order them but the shipping costs are really too high, too bad...70 bucks
are you over in Europe?
@@theretroshooterItaly
@@dkone78 yeah, the EU is not cheap.
Work with steamdeck?
yes
What games on steam can you use this with
We need one that locks back as you shoot it like in the arcades
This will lock back if you have Mamehooker when you run out of Ammo. Or, if you are using one the new games on the console, it will lock back until you reload.
@@theretroshooter im ordering this week!
@@Kevinwoolford123 Thank you!
@@Kevinwoolford123 Thank you!!
Nah. Having to see a crosshair on screen like that would ruin the immersion for me. Maybe I'd accept it if it was absurdly cheap. Like 10 USD each on amazon. But even at that price I'd still rather look for a CRT monitor instead. Or the sinden.
Who said anything about needing a crosshair with this light gun? Did you just assume that because you saw footage with the crosshair enabled?
@sirnovice9085 Yes. Didn't you?
@@ChrisKadaver many of these guys show the crosshair so you can see how fast the gun moves but you don't need a crosshair, you can disable it. Except for games like T2 Arcade, the crosshair is built into the game.
@@theretroshooter Ah okey. Cool!
Maybe it's worth mentioning in the video because I just assumed it wasn't better than a wii controller in that regard. 😅
@@sirnovice9085of course you need crosshairs, it uses IR. IR is not pixel accurate.
This seems like a Gun4IR clone
no, we don't clone gun4ir, we make better tech. We make our own molds and software.
@ well that’s def good to hear, cos I already have a Gun4IR..as well as a couple Sinden light guns..so it’ll be nice to try this one out also.
How exactly is the cursor configured? I never heard of mamehooker..does that mean it only works with mame stuff?
Or can I use it on say, the house of the dead remake for PC..or the redream emulator, etc
@ also, I do like that you guys put the IR LED’s on the corners of the television instead of in the middle..
..might seem like an insignificant thing at first..but with the Gun4IR IR LED’s on my personal specific setup..the bottom row is in the damn way of my Analogue NT’s everdrive cartridge
...and I always have to either take the cartridge out of the machine to affix the LED, or take it off if I wanna keep the everdrive in the system 🤦♂️
Even if it was it would be $300 for 2 vs $500 for 1 gun4IR. And faster response.
@@ItsTheRealMrMaD also, with the diamond shape they use, you can lose tracking when aiming at the sides of the screen, if you point too far to one side you lose 3 LED reference points, with the two up two down, it's hard to lose more than two at a time. And with the lightgun seeing two, it's still very accurate.
Does this take real bullets? Dealbreaker right there if not.
Yes, but you have to load them up by mouth.
Far to much wiring, and you still have to buy extra things...
Just take it apart and add another button and cross wire it, very simple
👍🏾
I really cant understand why these things are still Wired and also why the recoil has to be so damn clakity & loud.I know its nowhere close to as accurate but, i'm gonna stick with a Wii controller & USB Bar til they aren't.
Too expensive that sucks
Compared to Gun4IR it's a bargain.
Compared to what, half the price of Gun4IR with a better response time
Too Expensive .

@@damn5987 customization, price and compatibility
Meh, IR guns require crosshairs. Not the same, sinden is more authentic
what no they don't lol
They don't require crosshairs. They detect the IR leds near the outside of the screen, and the Sinden detects the white border on the screen itself.
@ it will be like a Wii remote. Turn the crosshair of and it will work, but your aim will be off
@@Nemesis2K Wrong. You chose to post that without finding out if it's true. This doesn't use a wii-style IR led bar, you have leds just outside the corners of the screen. What is the imortant difference between that and a white border on the screen, tracking wise? None. People who have used this thing say the tracking is excellent, none of them say "Gee, I'm glad I've got this crosshair on so that I can see where my shots are going to go".
@@davidste60 sinden uses a camera that can see the screen.
$200 bucks. Dang no thanks
It's main competitor is $500 per gun and has a slower response time. This is $300 for 2 guns + extras. It could be $0 and people like you would complain it didn't come with free shipping
That's sick the autofire mechanical recoil thing. If this works on Linux, I might have to pick one up.
yes, you can play on Batocera V39+
