Wii controller resembling an SMG to be shown at E3 photo

Last October, a story circulated around about a Wii accessory spotted at a trade show in China. Unlike most of the plastic crap made to contain a perfectly attractive controller, this peripheral resembled a Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun. When I saw it, my first thought was that this would never see the light of day in the US.

Well that gun, or one very much like it, actually will be available in my country of origin. Innex has announced today that they have secured distribution rights for the RapidShot by Komodo. Based on the H&K MP5, they'll be showing the plastic shell off at E3 in a couple of weeks. 

I guess I want more realism in my Wii shooting. Honestly, I'd just like anything I use to add function to the remote and be worth more than aesthetic appeal. I am more interested in what the implications will be once Fox News gets their hands on one.

Awesome, now they just need to make a blowback pistol or something and I'd buy four.

It would be interesting to mod an airsoft gun to contain Wiimote. 1:1 scale and 1:1 weight original:replica.
Or better still add RIS rail wiimote holder on airsoft replica. ;)

Considering that exact replica airsoft guns are available in the US, why would you think that this Wii SMG would never see the light of day in the US?

I read the article title and totally thought a Mario faceship controller was in the works instead. >_>

you know, if they made it actually "work" a gun accessory would be cool as fuck. It's the whole wiimote-must be-horizontal thing that fucks these up, perhaps a set of mirrors like a periscope could redirect the wiimote's pointer to actually, you know come out of the barrel of a gun, while retaining the correct trigger position.

Dunno, or just put a trigger button pushing mechanism.

all I know is that I miss light gun games and the wii mote on it's own just didn't cut the mustard, not to mention how crap wii lightgun style games are.

Wierdly this story makes me look forward to the move a bit more, proper "good", HD games and gun peripherals? Yes fucking please!

How can a controller possibly resemble Super Mario Galax- Ohshitwait.

Yeah, Fox News will have a field day with this. They only support shooting real people with real guns.

This fake stuff only breeds violence, and nobody wants that.

Headline: "11 year old killed by police who mistook Wii controller for real gun."

I just hope they make the gun in a bright neon color....

I just wanted to point out that the controller is closer to the MP5K than the MP5.

Incidentally, the only reason I know the difference is video games.

I need this for Ghost Squad.

And for fake real world violence because of videogames. All I need to know is when and how much.

I would never want a REAL-looking gun controller, I'd feel like a total idiot holding it. The Zapper is good enough for me.

Bad Lightgun games? With titles like Sin and Punihment 2, House of the Dead: Overkill, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return, and Dead Space: Extraction? None of those crap, and I got way more out of overkill than I got out of your typical macho-fest 60 dollar game.

Finally!!! A reason to buy a Wii!! Now, how many decent shooters are available? Or can I get Duck Hunt on the Virtual Console?

Having the controller look like a gun really matters to people? In this case it seems to come at the cost of comfort. Look closely at that analogue stick.

When I saw "SMG" in the title I immediately thought Super Mario Galaxy(2). On my 100th Star and the game is still amazing me! I love it! =)

You know that time when the Wii actually had you imagining you holding a gun or shooting a bazooka or hitting a tennis ball?

Well, fuck that, we'll just MAKE ever one of those god damn things into plastic to HOLD the god damn thing.

Brilliant!

Pass.

what makes you think "typical macho-fest 60 dollar game." is the only genre people with either a ps3 or xbox360 play?

@pl0x kthanxbai

When did I say that PS3/XBOX360/PC gamers only play Macho-Fest games? I just said that I got more from Overkill than your average 60 buck third/first person shooter.

Yes you right. It looks like a real gun. But now days there is a discussion going on among the scientists regarding these kind of toys. Are these suitable for children? car insurance - car insurance quotes - car insurance quotes - car insurance companies - hospital plans - glutathione
