Saw this over at Kotaku, the new guncon..
Seems to work the same way as the lcd topgun, here's hoping we can mod it for our stuff!

hmmm, uses two markers (no led "strips") and he's standing a reasonable distance away, if it's accurate this could be promissing. - what's next, time travel?

Hey AngryRadish, if u want & haven't done so yet, vote in the LCD lightgun poll on page 2 of the main forum.

The Gun I was imagining when I started the poll is a lot like that Time Crisis gun, I always thought that the TC gun was the best gun in the arcades, I wonder if it has the reload action too.

The picture was shot somewhat over this individual's shoulder, not in profile. I'm guessing he's a good distance further away from that monitor than the photo shows.

I'd put him at 7 to 8 feet away..maybe more.

Ur talking about his body tho, right? - not the actual gun. - actually he is stll pretty far away from the screen (darn), kind of a deceiving picture tho, for a sec I thought he was shooting at the second monitor. He also seems to be concentratng really hard on aiming the gun (two hands) $:-\$

from the articles Ive read it has motion sensing as well.. so to me it seems like the Wii remote with the nunchuk attached to the front

There are already Wii drivers for PC.. has anybody tried them with Mame? I've been away so long I dont know what the current "best" solution is.. still LCD TopGun?

"There are six buttons on the device and two analog sticks. One of them is placed on a "sub-grip" that you hold with your left hand, and another is on the barrel of the gun."

Guessing that's the reason for the two-handed grip.
