Keep in mind that with older lightgun games you actually had to buy the lightgun in addition to the game. With the Wii, you simply use the standard controller, which is why lightgun games have shown far greater success on the Wii than ever before. The Time Crisis series did pretty well on the ps1 and ps2, but that was the only big thing since Duck Hunt. The Wii's success in this regard has little bearing on where the Resident Evil fanbase now lies. |
Actually, the Virtua Cop and HotD games were pretty popular back on Saturn/DC as well. Really, it was mainly last gen where the genre receded. More Famitsu!

...also, the GunSurvivor games were playable on DualShocks, and generally preferred that way since they had analog camera controls. They did "Guided fps" before Dead Space Extraction (lol). I'd also say there's a decent Biohazard base on Wii already too considering how well the crusty old GC ports sold. It's not just the lightgunners that sold better than expected...
