 Best lightgun for the Wii December 28, 2007

Look no further for a Wii Lightgun. Nyko did a fantastic job of designing this gun.
Lightguns are meant to be in this versatile pistol form, other formats that look like assault rifles (such as Nintendo's zapper) are cool but the novelty really runs dry fast as you start playing games that require pinpoint accuracy. It's a lot easier and satisfying to play shooting games with a pistol.
With that said the quality of this particular pistol is top notch. The spring in the trigger has a very satisfying feel (unlike the zapper) and doesn't have spongy feedback. The orange holder on the end prevents the Wiimote from falling (This is actually a common problem with generic Wii pistol periphials with games that require shaking the wiimote). Also there is a connection for the Nunchuck in case you need it (although the lightgun games I've played were just as fun without the nunchuck).
However, I do recommend getting the Nintendo Zapper in addition to the Perfect Shot, not so much for the Zapper itself, but you get the incredibly fun Links Crossbow training game as well, all for $20. Hands down the best bargain for the Wii.

I wanted to put this review here in case someone was thinking about buying this product. I realize it's just a link, but some people don't know to check these type of sites before purchasing an item and I became VERY interested after reading the following review. Make sure you check out the video review as well.

Compare to the Zapper. Make sure to note the part about the non-squishy trigger for rapid firing, the easy setup and the precise aiming because those were the key points I wanted you to read.
Let me know if you guys like this product. I haven't bought it yet, but I would really like to know and maybe try out Ghost Squad with it :)
Perfect Shot ?? January 20, 2008

This accessory is definately the right price. I received the item with free shipping, and handling. Could you use another adapter rather than this one? Probably, but the Perfect Shot by NYKO delivers a solid package. I use this with my children, and while it is not indestructable, it is well made, and the only problem areas are the flip-over-lock design at the front of the "gun". While the Wiimote is inserted there seems to be no problem, but I can foresee problems with this part of the accessory if the item is purchased for a child under 12 y/o, or if small children get there hands on the Perfect Shot. The other area of concern is where the Wiimote plugs into the accessory. The problem is that when disconnecting the Wiimote from the Perfect Shot, you must pick up on the Wiimote to then slide it forward. In lifting the Wiimote, however slightly, there is stress placed on the connector inside the "gun", which is static (not intended to be moved). Speaking of the connector in the accessory; the Perfect Shot provides a pass through for the nun-chuk. If the game you are playing uses the nun-chuk then this "gun" will not disappoint. Your nun-chuk will easily plug into the base of the grip. If you are in the market for a solid "gun" adapter for your Wii, or need to buy "all" accessories, the NYKO Perfect Shot will not disappoint. If you already have one "gun" accessory, then you might wait until you need a new one before you buy this. In the end, I am very pleased with this product (even though the review may seem contrary). And remember, this type of accessory is not needed to play the type of game it is intended for, but it will increase the fun, and immersion of all who opt for the increased "sense" of realism.
 Great idea, flawed design February 5, 2008

After having this on order for over a month and it finally arriving I attempted to get things set up with great anticipation of trying things out. This is more of a warning towards those thinking about getting this who may be in the same situation as me - basically if you have any kind of skin on your wiimot (decalgirl, etc) then this thing isn't for you. Even though the decal itself is VERY thin, the slot where this goes into on the Perfect Shot is curved and quite sharp. Even gently putting the wiimote into the gun causes the the skin to get caught and it will scrunch up and peel. I'm not sure if my unit is defective or if this is just an oversight, but I'd expect something a little more from such a large third party maker as Nyko. Amazon on their part was of course perfect with the delivery and everything else, so nothing against them.
 Decent gun but not the best March 4, 2008

Of all the Wii light guns I tried, the Zapper is still the best one out there. This one was by no way "perfect". It was better than most of the others, but still had some issues. For one, the trigger was not as responsive. When you pull the trigger on Zapper, you can be sure a hit will register. On this, there was a very small delay. It was not very obvious at first, but you will notice it after a while. Plus the trigger sticks once in a while.
