Revolution GunCon Concepts

Posted by Zonk on from the blam dept.

IGN is showing off some interesting GunCon concepts that would slot together with the remote controller the Revolution is going to use. From the article: "Some mock-ups of a pistol-and-pointer combo have already hit the Web. But what about a shotgun-style attachment perfectly suited for dual-handed comfort? Nintendo itself could make use of the device by packaging it with an old classic that is long overdue for a Revolution remake. Of course, we're referring to the beloved Duck Hunt, which came to popularity on the Nintendo Entertainment System in the late 80s."

    ...until Jack Thompson uses these mock-ups to prove how videogames are nothing but "murder simulators." (Sigh.)

    At least on the Revolution, the Revolution controller can already be used as a gun, the only thing this would do is add weight. It might sell on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 if they make it motion sensitive but I doubt it, as far as I know there hasn't ever been a killer-app light gun game unless you count Duck Hunt as a killer-app.

  5. Franchise? by Digital+Vomit · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The gun would be a natural fit for Nintendo's Duck Hunt franchise,

    One game made twenty years ago counts as a franchise?
