Ugg whats the deal with all these rail shooters coming out for the light gun, seems like were taking a step backwards here. Are there any regular shooters coming out that also use the zapper?

I know that Resident Evil: UC does support the zapper. I don't know for Medal of Honors Heroes 2 (there's an on-rails shooters modebut it's not the whole game). As for Ghost Squad, I don't know.

The Zapper works best with rail shooters, since many Wii FPS have motions involved the Zapper is limiting for them.

On the rail shooters have a lot of potential, but sadly, none of the ones coming out for wii want to take that potential into something decent.

MoHH2 is supposed to utilize the zapper. Too many on-rail shooters on the horizon.

Don't mind the on-rail shooters, as long as they aren't only a couple of hours long and super shallow. In fact, I hope they bring in some Time Crisis and/or Virtua Cop games, and the House Of The Dead games too. As long as they bumped up the visual quality for the oldest games in the series, I'd buy them if they put the games in some sort of special, 3-in-1-disc collection.

MoH is confirmed to be 100% playable with the Zapper.

I don't mind on-rails, I just don't think they should be full priced. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem like you would need nearly as much production time/resources as for a regular game.

I'm actually glad to see them make a come back. Good memories and fun times in arcades. Would be nice to have some new ones! I'm hoping Resident Evil is at least somewhat comparable to House of the Dead (best rail shooter ever made)

For reals. I don't know why people keep complaining "all those on rail shooters". Yeah, all TWO of those.

I think on rails shooters are freaking boring, They offer no challenge, I've beaten 2 house of the dead and time crisis games without dieing once.

Honestly....I am going to buy EVERY ON-RAILS SHOOTER

They are the funnest games!!!! Especially when they are 2-player co-op!!!

Why don't people like them....they are WAY better than Regular boring shooters that we have seen 100 times

If I DID have a 360.....I would still be more excited for RE:UC than RE5

ON-RAILS shooters are amazing and perfectly fit for the Wii....

and they are WAY more fun thanregular shooters taht are all the same

everyone seems to associate the term "on-rails shooter" with something like time crisis, virtual cop, ghost squad, etc...

Where's the love for the on-rails shooters that aren't like that?

Starfox , Panzer Dragoon (not on Wii, just as an example), Star Wars Rogue Leader. These are definitely shooters and they are definitely on rails. And as far as I'm concerned, these are more fun and provide more of a challenge than the FPS games on rails. That's just me though.

If they are done properly, on-rain games can be a hell of a good game & fun too.

I love rail shooters, I say bring them on.

There great with a friend. But I do have to say with the games now they would have to add multiple paths or some clever uses of puzzles, to capture most peoples attention.

I remember when I would see a new one pop-up in the arcades, always made my day.

Arcades... you now thoseplaces your parents told you about that use to house videogames,

actually at one point the only place you could play the latest games.(sigh) I miss you arcade:(

rail shooters are not bad, Ghost Squad and that RE game will be rail shooters. A lot of people want House of the Dead and Time Crisis, and for me, I want Virtua Cop 1 and 2 remastered.

It would be nice if they made collections.

Like House of the Dead or Time crisis.. Some of them are too short.

And the replay, and this is just my personal opinion, are great for a lazy day when you just want a mindless shoot out.

I love these types of games. As long as they have good modes. Such as House Of Dead 2 for dreamcast. It had something called orginal mode which I found fun. heck I beat that game like 50 times. I dont have arcades around here they are pretty much dead. So its nice to have these types of games. I heard REUC is like 15 hours+ thats cool as long as it has unlockables.

I think that tells you that the Wii remote isn't the "ultimate way" to play a first-person shooter like Nintendo promised.

I'm honestly tired of rail shooters, I've played too many. Now I actually go outside and airsoft, and shoot moving around, instead of standing at shooting Zombies, and those Bad Guys in Time Crisis :P.

Well, the only game I'm kinda looking foward to for On Rail, is RE:UC because it's RE, and Ghost Sqaud, because the Arcade one is kinda fun.

Another one I found fun that I don't think too many people knew about was Lucky& Wild (back in the early '90s). It was an on-rails shooter where you drove down a road shooting down baddies ultimately chasing down the main criminal for that level. 2 people can shoot, but 1 person had to drive & shoot, so you got to control your movement a bit. Best part about it was that if you wanted to continue, it only took 1 quarter to allow both people to continue.

I don't like many on-rails shooters.
