Wild West Guns (WiiWare)

Game Profile

Draw your revolver to see if you’re the fastest gun in the West. Adjust your speed and precision as targets or enemies appear in front of you. Point and shoot to earn more points. You can aim at anything, so be sure to explore the environment for elements that will earn you more shooting points.

Identify your enemies among the characters you encounter, but don’t shoot at innocent citizens. Take part in an Old West-style train attack, or challenge your skills in a variety of increasingly difficult shooting challenges in other beautiful, classic and lively Western environments. As you progress through challenges, you’ll earn medals and rewards, making for nonstop, addictive action. Read More »

Play in a two-player multiplayer mode where you and your partner can combine points, or play against each other to find out who’s the fastest gun in the West.

Saddle up the horse and reload your six shooter - it's time to earn your badge, partner...

As children many of us spent several lazy afternoons watching old cowboy flicks, so it seems almost criminal that this classic Hollywood genre hasn't been granted a decent videogame adaptation for some time. Last generation's GUN was a modestly successful..

I'm keeping watch over this game as i have a feeling it will be like some of the old NES zapper games. Hopefully, there will be Wii Zapper support

I'm not expecting anything big from Gameloft.

In regards to this game, we still know nothing about it. And nothing has been said in any mags

I think Gameloft make very good quality mobile games and if the price is right I can imagine that they can make very succesful wiiware titles too. Im looking forward to hearing more about this game.

Terranigma

7. Terranigma United Kingdom 08 Jul 2008, 10:32 BST

I Knew there would be Zapper support. After looking at the screenshots, i think I'll buy this upon release

Could be a worthwhile purchase considering it's only 1000 points. Then again, considering I could pick up a copy of Ghost Squad for around a tenner (£10 equivalent of 1,500 Wii points) on Ebay - maybe not.

As for zapper support, unless there's some sort of calibration, I don't really give a rats ass. Any game can make use of the zapper - whether its practical or not - it's just a plastic shell.

Terranigma

9. Terranigma United Kingdom 08 Jul 2008, 13:48 BST

Nintendo should have done a Zapper that isn't a shell but with the technology built into it already

hehe this its grate i love this kind of games and i hope its wiizapper compatible

I hope it does well. It's nice to see a company like this try to make a WiiWare game from the ground up instead of constantly releasing remakes of their games.

Looks great. I like games based on cowboys. They remind me of an awesome SNES game I had back in the day called 'Sunset Riders'. I'm sure many of you know of it.

Tony

13. Tony United States 09 Jul 2008, 18:48 BST

I remember Sunset Riders. Its was out on both SNES and Genesis. I also liked Gunsmoke from Capcom

14. Gavin Rozee United Kingdom 09 Jul 2008, 20:55 BST

I remember playing it in the morning before school and in co-op with my mate. I don't remember whether the game was technically any good, I just remember riding a horsey whilst shooting blokes on a train.

15. MoneybagzX Canada 12 Jul 2008, 20:59 BST

with zapper support ill most likely get it

Hyper Luigi

16. Hyper Luigi United States 14 Jul 2008, 04:21 BST

Looks cool. I wonder if they are ever going to release Duck Hunt or Yoshi's Safari on the VC or WiiWare?

Terranigma

17. Terranigma United Kingdom 17 Jul 2008, 17:05 BST

Apparently, Japan get this next tuesday, so it shouldn't be too long before it comes out here, probably a month or 2.

18. danik United Kingdom 24 Jul 2008, 12:11 BST

This looks very good, defintley will pick this up if its good enough.

Terranigma

19. Terranigma United Kingdom 26 Jul 2008, 11:03 BST

Gameloft have so far surprised me with the quality of their WiiWare titles. I'm hoping for this to be another nice surprise

i_am_error

20. i_am_error Canada 30 Jul 2008, 19:12 BST

Really interested in that title. I've been looking for a cheap successor to Link's Crossbow Training as well as another use for my Zapper.

21. Satan's Therapist United Kingdom 01 Aug 2008, 00:31 BST

Is there a review of this anywhere?

Raptor78

22. Raptor78 United Kingdom 01 Aug 2008, 00:53 BST

@ I am error

i have found the game as good as if not better than Link's Crossbow Training. Also it have a two player simultanious mode which is better than just trying to beat each others score.

Mickeymac

23. Mickeymac United States 01 Aug 2008, 02:16 BST

Well, it doesn't look too bad, but it seems to have almost too much going on at once, and seems like it's trying to be every classic Light gun game at once, but it still seems fun. Also, it doesn't seem any more offensive than any other western, unlike what I initially thought. I'll wait on the review first though.

Ian Daemon

24. Ian Daemon United States 01 Aug 2008, 03:51 BST

This looks like 'Lethal Enforcers' or maybe 'Link's Crossbow Training' gameplay with a 'wild west' setting. Not bad. Not bad.

i8cookie

25. i8cookie United Kingdom 01 Aug 2008, 08:31 BST

"another one bites the dust" might get annoying after a while... are you just killing mexicans and native americans in this game?

Bensei

26. Bensei Austria 01 Aug 2008, 10:03 BST

The video looks like a wild mix of Wii Play shooting range, Residen Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Link's Crossbow Training.

27. Mendez United Kingdom 02 Aug 2008, 10:32 BST

I was just about to get this until I discovered it takes up 300 blocks :(
Looks really good though

kevenz

28. kevenz Canada 03 Aug 2008, 23:13 BST

this game is like a remake of Lethal Enforcer 2 for the sega genesis.

Manny

29. Manny United States 04 Aug 2008, 16:49 BST

Yes! Its here in the states now. Looking forward to this shooter.

Metal Slime

30. Metal Slime United States 07 Aug 2008, 06:12 BST

Is this game somehow connected with "Wild Guns" on the SNES from Natsume? I know people are seeing a lot of comparisons to old games, but... the game-play and even the levels in this "Wild West Guns" are ripped right out of the SNES game. The train level, the inside the bar level and the outside the saloon level are all nearly identical. Anyone know if theres some shared team members?

Terranigma

31. Terranigma United Kingdom 07 Aug 2008, 15:05 BST

Apart from the similar name and similar themes, i don't think there is a connection between the two. You could always email Gameloft and ask them yourself.

Objection_Blaster

32. Objection_Blaster United States 09 Aug 2008, 04:08 BST

It is a big game, (biggest yet I think) but don't let that stop you from buying it! Investing in a good SD card is a sound decision. Get the 2GB Sandisk Made-For-Wii one if you can. It costs about $25. My friend bought a generic one ($17) and it won't hold bigger files.

Cheezy

33. Cheezy United States 30 Sep 2008, 02:18 BST

I want it. It reminds me of an arcade game called Point Blank, which was awesome.

Ricardo91

34. Ricardo91 United States 01 Oct 2008, 16:38 BST

@Cheezy. Heck yeah, Point Blank rocks!

RoyOfTheRovers

35. RoyOfTheRovers United Kingdom 01 Nov 2008, 14:58 GMT

I quite like this game, although 1,000 points is a touch steep.

As I think someone else mentioned, you only have 1 profile so it doesn't record your performance to compare to a mate, no leaderboards, etc. Certainly not a s deep as Link's Crossbow Training, although that is to be expected for the price.

Probably a 6.5/10 for me, but the gf loves the shooting games so you can't really put a price on the brownie points I got for downloading this one!

36. St3b0 United States 16 Apr 2009, 05:17 BST

i think it just an old west version of wii play duck shot

Rally

37. Rally United States 07 May 2009, 19:35 BST

There actually was a game that involved wild west shooting, believe it or not. I thought this was gonna be it. It kinda reminds me of Wii Play Shooting Range.

BlueFlameBat

38. BlueFlameBat United States 08 Jun 2009, 18:15 BST

Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the underground SNES classic Wild Guns.
