Why are there no lightgun games on the N64 or Gamecube.

[Blood Serpent]

As far back as I can remember, the NES had a Zapper and the SNES had a Super Scope 6. Now how come Nintendo`s later systems didn`t have light guns on them?

[ziggytrix]

i'm gonna guess it has something to do with Nintendo making less than anticipated profits of the light gun games and accessories.

Because light guns kind of suck?

[Guitar Woman]

Because lightgun games are for dollar arcades. >:

They were developing a light gun for the 64, but since there were so few FPS games at the time that could've actually used it they canned it.

And I wonder why Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley were so damn popular.

[ziggytrix]

They only ever made about 4 light gun games for the NES and 9 for the SNES.

Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley were fun enough, but there was nowhere to go from there, really.

[EverythingWillSuck]

There had to more more than 4 for the NES, I'm pretty sure of it. And I doubt there were that many Super Scope games.

good point :(

I think they should have Nintendo Light Guns. The PS2, Xbox, and I believe the Dreamcast had lightguns, and they worked just fine for them.
