This looks pretty good actually (IMO).
Although I heard "Another one bites the dust!" said like three times...which sounds like it could get pretty annoying.

That doesn't look too bad. On the other hand, I've already got Link's Crossbow Training and Wii Play and I don't see much new. In fact, some of it (particularly the targets appearing in rows and the keeping the can in the air bit) looked almost identical to Wii Play's target shooting.

Thank you!
I thought the same thing.
It's like a cross between Wii Play and Raving Rabbids.
I'll pass.

Actually the Wii is popular for Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii. Are you saying those are crap too?
My $250 investment has more than paid off from just these games alone. Have faith, Pikmin is on its way!

This is a WiiWare title, may I remind you... Just look at XBLA, and then see if your flamebait cry of shovelware holds up.

It's a shame they can't/won't bring light games to the VC. Wild Gunman was one of my favorites from the 8-bit era, and for a moment I was hoping this would be similar.
while it's mechanics wouldn't be enough to fill one minigame in a shovelware title these days, a spiritual successor on the Wii would be most welcome.

this looks extremely easy and dumbed down; perfect for the infantile and elderly!

Oh frick hell! I was really hoping this would be more akin to Wild Guns (SNES) and not just another click-the-monkey game. Wild Guns could integrate both waggle and pointing perfectly. Come on, Natsume. Quit with the Harvest Moon stuff and give Wild Guns a sequel!

This game has Injuns. Or should I say, Native American Injuns.

Reminds me of Lethal Enforcers II. I had a lot of fun with that game back in the day.

Agreed. I vote Hogan's Alley and The Lone Ranger as my personal faves, but there are certainly other's I'd go after for a 10 spot on the VC.
