Wii Hardware \ How will a Light Gun work?

BundyDanger says:

Ok, this may seem like a silly question, but currently you can buy third party attachments to stick your wiimote and nunchuck together (as we all know) to make a light gun...

Buuuuuttt, due to the way the sensor bar works and you don't specifically calibrate the wiimotes to different tvs (i.e. click here, click there) you can't look down your wiimote and get an accurate aim like you would look down the barrel of a gun... The way it is works fine for everything else cos most of us hold our wiimotes around waist or chest height so we don't notice...

Will the official NINTENDO light gun attachment have a fix for this I wonder??

I think it's accurate enough.

If you play a light gun game though you want it dead on...

For example if you play 2 metres from a 42 inch widescreen then the further away to the left you point from centre screen the further to the left the cursor gets from where you're actually pointing...

If they released an update that you could calibrate the pointer to your screen in some way that would be great for lightgun games... Remember the old calibration in Point Blank etc.?

edit: maybe it will be built into the game...

Actually, you can calibrate a Wiimote. There's an option for it in one of Wii's setup menus. Just hold the Wiimote up to eye level and sight along it when you're using that calibration tool, and it will be exactly like the tool a game would have.

Really? I couldn't find it... Could only find the sensitivity setting which was different... Have to have a look, but I don't have my WII

I remember such a tool being there, but I haven't turned my Wii on in a while. As I remember it, you point at the middle of the screen and press A so that the Wii knows where the centre of the TV is relative to the position of the sensor bar.
