VC Friday: Yee-haw!

by Chris Greenhough { Aug 1st 2008 at 11:00AM }

Light gun game Wild West Guns rides into town the European Wii Shop today for its worldwide debut, complete with Zapper compatibility, six levels, four-player support, and a whole host of mildly offensive steretypes. Truth be told, it looks quite fun in the post-break trailer -- certainly a lot more engaging than, say, Target Terror. Far more importantly, it gave us an excuse to post a Will Smith video. Wicky, wicky!

Defend Your Castle has also finally arrived, and is totally worth a look.

Wild West Guns -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points
Defend Your Castle -- WiiWare -- 500 Wii Points

Swing past the break for videos of each.

Wild West Guns reminds me strongly of some game, but I can't figure out what. Right down to the dollar figure instead of point totals. Either way, looks like fun and I love the idea of light gun games coming to Wiiware. Perfect value and easy distribution.

Tin Star for SNES? That's what it reminded ME of. :)

I haven't checked out the Wii Shopping Channel since launch day, but now I have a reason. Wild West here I come - just need to get some Wii points first.

Needs more zombies.

I can see Wild West Guns being well worth $10, especially as a drunken diversion.

they need to release Wild Gunman for the virtual console.

You mean you have to use your hands? Thats like a babies toy!

DarkJesus @ Aug 1st 2008 1:16PM

I'm gonna get both of these. They both look like quality games.

lol, obviously not a fan of light gun games.

No I am, but there are too many on the Wii...they are all the same, just would like to see something a little more innovative.

Elaborate on what more you want. Not to be rude, but you cannot chant "innovation, innovation" without a true idea on what it iis you desire. These games do not appeal to me, nothing on WiiWare appeals to me, but I know the reason why. What's your reason?
