The ultimate FPS controller for the Wii?

The E3 audience was shown a 'plastic' holder that allows the Wii remote controller and the Nunchuck to be integrated into something that will be every the dream for every lightgun-addict (MrCustard?). Now this could take First person shooters - and perhaps even third person shooters - to a whole new level combining light gun games with the FPS/TPS genre. Now isn't that innovative for a small piece of plastic?

Wii Remote Sensitivity

Now that the Wii has been out for awhile, have you all that have it noticed any problems with the sensitivity or accuracy of the Wii controllers? I know I was originally skeptical of the Xbox360 wireless controller, but I can't tell the difference in it compared to the wired type. Is it the same with the Wii?

Wii-mote

It will be interesting to see how effective it is. Apparently it's like using the Wii-mote in the menus and when Web browsing meaning it picks up the slightest movements. That has the potential for rapid arm fatigue. Still, the Wii-mote just begs for these things to be attempted...

Mr Custard is already busy using the Wii-mote as a PC lightgun

Mr Custard is already busy using the Wii-remote as a light-gun approximation for various retrogames on PC with help of a BlueTooth driver/application for HID devices. All what is needed is a sensor bar that can be used with Bluetooth I believe. Mr Custard?
