Jurassic: The Hunted

This shooter has the insane plot of a survivalist stuck on an island that starts to go back in time that puts him in a life or death struggle hunting and being hunted by dinosaurs. It sounds too good to be true.

Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem

Coming soon to WiiWare, this old school shooter begins with a battle between apes and lizardmen and follows both groups' evolution through the millennia of struggle.

Nerf N-Strike Elite

Perhaps there are too many on-rail shooters for the Wii, but this sequel is only the second to involve NERF guns, so that's got to be worth something.

Bit.Trip Void

Another in the retro-tastic WiiWare shooter series, this one involves navigating a black hole to suck in enemies.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition

10/11/2009

The massive FPS hit comes to Wii two years after the original versions. Better late than never, we suppose, but the spotty controls and frame rate barely make it worth the wait.

Bit.Trip Core

21/10/2009

The second entry in the trippy mix of shooter and rhythm has come to WiiWare, though it isn't as charming the second time.

Water Warfare

26/06/2009

Like first-person shooters, but hate all the blood? Well, this WiiWare game puts a water pistol in your hand for some good, clean fun - at least in multiplayer, as single player sucks.

Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair

Downloadable via Virtual Console on Wii.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

With amazing bang for your buck, Metroid Prime Trilogy puts there great games in one. Sure, it may have the some minor issues present in all three games, but the first two entries have received Wii controls that are an improvement, not tacked on. Practically a must-buy.

Nerf N-Strike

20/02/2009

A bland, inoffensive shooting gallery, defanged by the use of Nerf guns. On the plus side, you get a Nerf gun with it that doubles as a Wii Zapper.

Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre

27/02/2009

Rogue Trooper's outing on the Wii is hard to put down despite that it's not particularly original.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

27/11/2009

A more than competent on-rails shooter with fun co-op, but it does very little new with the genre and is better suited to longtime RE fans.

Onslaught

13/02/2009

WiiWare's debut first-person shooter packs plenty of bug-blasting action, but smart controls and online play are weighed down by mediocre presentation and a lack of interesting missions.

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster - Wii Software

15/06/2009

While Eduardo may have a fantastic art style, it seems like this shoot 'em up's gameplay should have been left to crisp a bit longer.

Brothers in Arms: Double Time

26/09/2008

While taking advantage of the Wii well, this port of the first two BiA is a bit too bland and repetitive for our tastes.

Sin and Punishment 2

Hell has frozen over now that a sequel to an obscure Japanese shooter for the N64 that only got released in the US this year, is in the works. Be afraid.

Wild West Guns - Wii Software

4/08/2008

Not very deep, but it gives the quick fun that light gun games once had when you were a kid.

Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk

This air combat shooter is a port of a two year-old PS2 game, but at least it uses Wii motion controls. Wait, is that a good thing?

The House of the Dead: Overkill

13/02/2009

This immature, Mature rated title is just the gore covered dose of arcade-y fun the Wii needed.

Gyrostarr - WiiWare

Old school sci-fi shooter with one trick but plenty of 'high-score challenge' potential thanks to loads of levels and four-player split-screen support.
