What I want is to be able to shoot a target without an onscreen reticule. I want to use the sights of my gun or wiimote. Let's see if these calibrations that EA has put in place will do the trick.

You want a light gun, not a wiimote. What you wish for is not possible.

Not impossible. If (at the start screen of a game) you were presented with a six-step calibration similar to touch screen calibration, you could mimic a light gun.

Shoot at a target in each of the four corners of the screen (while looking through the "sights" of your Wii remote); then at the center; and then a general test to see if you like the results.

Not too hard.


Your scheme breaks down as soon as the Wiimote is held closer or further away from the screen than it was at calibration. Whenever the player gets excited, he'll start holding the Wiimote closer to the screen and his accuracy will drop as the angle to the sensor bar shifts. That would kill the fun pretty fast.

A true light gun doesn't care how close it gets to the screen.
