Holy cow I didn’t know la machine was a Wii game, when my dad was stationed in Japan I actually played that in arcades! One of my favorite light gun games may have been silent scope in the arcades where you used a huge rifle with a screen in the scope to aim.
Yesssss! And it’s packaged with Gunblade so you get two stellar games on one disc, also silent scope in the arcades is badass!!! Thank you for watching my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Freaking light gun games are timeless! Love them in the arcades and really need to sink more time into some Wii offerings. Also, best of all, so many are co-op!
Awesome list. Never heard of Gunblade NY and LA Machine guns. Looked on eBay and it's a $80-$100 game so that explains why I've never seen it lol Ghost Squad is the one I've played the most out of all of these. The Wii is the perfect system for these kinds of games.
Great job Rob. I have Wii and was really keeping it for the fact it played gamecube games. But this is great to see! I love shooters and I know the newer TVs have trouble with shooting games. So this could be a great option to have the ability to play those types of games. So another great video!
Oh wow!!! Thank you my friend, it’s really appreciated! And yeah I also use the Wii for GameCube! I did leave off Dead Space though which I forgot I had, ugh…it’s also a great shooter! Thank you for the kind words, you’re amazing! ❤️🎮
Great vid! Lots of memories I own Ghost Squad (aka Ghose Squad: Panda Patrol) as well. This is one of the tighter gameplay experiences and is tough but fair. Great replayability Jurassic looks underwhelming and clunky. Also, a lot of that shooting was not in self defense, Mr. “Hunted” HotD is HotD, same as it ever was I love Gunblade and had no idea this was on Wii or I would have snatched it up right away at the store Umbrella Chronicles is fantastic and I felt the weapons choices added a better tactical difference in the gameplay than most. Overkill looks to have a nice pace but the graphics are so blocky, bland and muddy. Crossbow Training is a decent game and very accessible! Would have loved to see a full-sized game sequel. Don’t think I played Darkside Chronicles, but it seems to be a good follow up to Umbrella Chronicles.
Amazing comment my friend! Jurassic plays quite well, maybe I made it look bad lol! This was a fun vid, I love that I get to basically play games and record 🤷🏼♂️😎
After that first generation of Virtua Cop and Time Crisis (games I received for free as "a video game journalist", as I recall) this was a genre I never looked at again, never thought about again, and certainty never noticed the existence of on the Wii.
I suppose the fundamental premise of taking joy in the simulated shooting of the human form (again and again, a thousand times repeated) is somehow distasteful to me: I can see that Sega was trying to bring a lighthearted tone to the genre (and at least one of the other developers in your video was, too) but it's sort of inescapably grim and demented to simulate a massacre as a form of entertainment.@@retrobeliever
Some great light gun games and the crossbow game i didn't even know about. Gunblade i have to get, that's my favourite of the video but its expensive here in the UK. Did it ever get a ps3 release. The resi shooters look great and will get them on ps3. I play all the house of the dead games on ps3. I enjoyed the video.
I did and I have it and I can’t believe I left it off the vid lol, I’m so dumb sometimes. People are def going to ask in the comments why wasn’t in there 😬😂
Games look really good. I never had any Nintendo so my first experience with a light gun was the Master System. The only system after that I had two guns was the Dreamcast . I'll probably eventually have a company build me a cabinet with all the lights gun games. I know there's so many I missed and plus all the newer ones from raw Thrills and the. Probably Dean from Shar-kade.
i LOVE me some light gun games! I just bought the KrisCoolMod's Light Gun drive and invested in the RetroShooter light guns w pedals and sensors. Wasn't cheap but well worth it.
Ohhhhh that’s a dream right there! I’m happy for you! One day I might (pun alert!!!) pull the trigger on that! For now I’m gonna keep loving these cheap Wii hits!
@@retrobelieverWell my kids are grown (in their 40's) and moved out, so I'm in my selfish phase of life!! I'm 3 years away from retirement so why not? Not getting any younger!! lol
B-9!!! They are, house of the dead overkill and both RE games I know are a bit gory but for the most part I think it was a good list! I appreciate you watching good sir! ❤️🎮
I need to get Gunblade NY....looks excellent. I absolutely love light gun games. Time Crisis 2 and 3 on 2 linked up PS2s is a staple when friends come round👍👍
Well hello Lady!!! And no you can buy it on disc and it’s not to pricey, I almost had that one on the list but I’m not sure it’s quite a light shooter but it’s def a shooter 🤷🏼♂️
The wii definitely had the good light gun games. I didn't know about jurassic the hunted. Its on the ps3 but i don't see anything on the box about Playstation move compatibility. The wii version is cheaper. I own both resident evil games, both house of the dead games, la, ny gunner and ghost squad. I don't own links crossbow but hopefully its cheap on ebay
Hey John!!! Sounds like you’ve got a good collection going my friend, and yes sir…Links Crossbow should be pretty cheap my friend! Thank you for watching!!!
I remember when I was a kid and one of the House of the Dead games came out of that movie just had gotten out of seeing a PG movie with my mom and my brother wanted to play the arcades and having like $2 on me to play a game and I chose to play I think the House of the Dead 2 and then my mom was pissed at me for playing that game because of the violence in the game and my mom was not a give me playing at since we were in a Christian family but man I had so much fun playing that game as a kid and nostalgia just kicked in a young age I used to get scared playing again I used to run away and go right back to it but yeah I I every time I see a house of the dead game at a Dave & Buster's I got I got to play I played the Scarlet Dawn game at Dave & Buster's and me and my friend Joseph we beat the hell out of that game we spent like probably like 30 bucks just trying to beat that game but we did eventually beat it The House of the Dead game on the Wii proved that you know game still have to be shovelware they don't have to suck you know to be on the Wii console now the only thing I will say that I didn't really like is it didn't include the first game of the fourth game on the disc other than that it was a great game!!!
Oh nice my friend! Love hearing people’s stories and why or how games impacted them! I take my kids to Dave and Busters now and then, they love it and I sit in the Halo game most of the time lol. Thanks for watching, it’s always appreciated!!!
@retrobeliever yea that's my biggest mistake with gaming I always used to trade stuff in for other stuff stupid me now I'm rebuying but some stuff is more now
Ugh spoiler alert, I have/own Dead Space and it’s also amazing but I forgot I had it and didn’t put it on here! Feel free to bash me lol 😬
Dead space extraction is definitely one of my favorite. 🤘🕹🎮🍻
@@BIKE_BEERS_AND_DEATH_METALI can’t believe I forgot it lol
So what I’m hearing is we have a Part 2 to look forward to!
@@jasonkelly8419looks like 🤷🏼♂️😂
no worries! can always be a second video!
I knew you would be good at lightgun games because of your experience in The Matrix and as John Wick
Lol! Well yeah 🤷🏼♂️😎

I played all of these. It would be difficult to decide which one I liked the best. Appreciate this video and all the videos you do. Retro is the best.
Hmm fair point! And thank you my friend, you are amazing!!! ❤️🎮
Freaking light gun games are timeless! Love them in the arcades and really need to sink more time into some Wii offerings. Also, best of all, so many are co-op!
Yeah the Wii has some fantastic ones and it’s a cheap and quick fix for those with modern TVs!
Some hella rad stuff here man🤩👾🤖👽
Dang!!! Thank you my friend, you’re amazing!!! ❤️🎮

Ghost Squad is the one I've played the most out of all of these. The Wii is the perfect system for these kinds of games.
It is def pricey! And yes, or throw these discs in the Wii U, man I appreciate you watching my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Some games ill have to keep an eye out for, more so looking at the shooters on rails as the ones to get!
There’s a few good rail ones in here! Thank you so much watching my friend!
I’d recommend The Conduit and The Conduit 2. Nothing like an alien invasion mixed with government cover up FPS
Oh hey!!! Yep, I have those and definitely considering a part two! Really awesome you watched!!!

Awesome video really enjoyed these rail shooter when I had the Wii
Oh wow thanks my friend! And yes, just some fun games for sure, I appreciate you watching!!!
Damnit, rob, now I wanna go out and get a bunch of these games for my Wii. Great video
Oh hey dude! Yeah sorry lol, at least they’re all pretty cheap except Gunblad/LA 😬
After that first generation of Virtua Cop and Time Crisis (games I received for free as "a video game journalist", as I recall) this was a genre I never looked at again, never thought about again, and certainty never noticed the existence of on the Wii.
Just not your thing?

@@VEGANVANIAahh I see, a fair point my friend!
🤘🕹🎮🍻 good stuff brother
Oh hey good morning!!! And thank you, you rock my friend! ❤️🎮
Scarface is really fun and there is a nice cover based shooter of Tom Clancy on wii. Conduit 1+2 Rock!
Yeah, I forgot to add Dead Space too and I have it lol, I’m thinking a part 2 down the road! I appreciate you watching!!! ❤️🎮
I really enjoyed all the resident evil games on Wii
Same my friend, the Wii is def an affordable and fun option for me while using modern TVs
Some great light gun games and the crossbow game i didn't even know about.

Ohhh thanks my friend!!! I’m not sure about Gunblade, it’s crazy expensive here too! I appreciate you watching and the kind words!
These are all bangers - did you play Dead Space Extraction? That’s my favorite light gun game on the Wii
I did and I have it and I can’t believe I left it off the vid lol, I’m so dumb sometimes. People are def going to ask in the comments why wasn’t in there 😬😂
This couldn't have come at a better time. I just refurbished a junked wii, and am a big fan of light gun games.
Oh no way dude! Excellent!!! Most of these games are pretty cheap except Gunblade/LA guns 😬
Duck hunt is the GOAT 🐐
It is! I just learned today you can play it on the Amiga now!!!
