It was one of my favorite genres and had an awesome revival last gen due to Wii and Playstation Move (the only good thing that came out of that motion cotrol fad in my opinion) but it doesn't seem like the genre will be a thing in the next gen which makes me sad ( I personally don't mind playing on rail shooters with a gamepad, but don't think developers would make games in the genre now that the motion controls are not a thing since most people won't play on-rail shooters with a gamepad)

There'll still be light gun games just not as many. Time Crisis came with a gun and its own sensors.

I only posted this to get my avatar as the forum's thumbnail.

Sin & Punishment 2 is one of the few Wii games I still play a lot (I use the wiimote + nunchuck).

I LOVE on-rail shooters. I like the Zelda game in Nintendoland, but yea, I don't think we'll be seeing much else.

Well, I'd at least say Wii U has more of a chance of getting new on-rail shooters than PS4 or Xbox One.

I got some on Wii as my brother is not that good with many games but liked these, so we played them co op. Mostly HOTD 2+3 and Overkill. We did not enjoy the Umbrella games that much though.

I will comment in this thread, never being able to find it again.

While there was dead space, I would only miss it if there was some rail shooters with a good story to tell, other then that I'm not to fussy with it.

Speaking of, Dead Space: Extraction, worth the buy or no?

Such an underrated game IMO. Everyone loves Kid Icarus: Uprising SOOOOO much...but IMO Sin and Punishment 2 blows it out of the water in terms of actual gameplay (Dialogue and VA is pretty good in KI though). The controls in KI:U were awful (especially on the ground) the controls in Sin and Punishment were near flawless.

On rail Shooters are awesome. Games like Starfox and Sin&Punishment show, how they should be done.
And yes, i will miss this genre...and then i remember, that there are tons of these out there

I'd really like to play Sin & Punishment 2, but for now the only On-Rails Shooter I can say I've played is Rez...

I don't think rail shooters is the genre to go for if you are looking for a good story. I think house of the dead overkill had the right idea by dropping pretences and going for all out goofyness

They have LA Machineguns on Wiiware I think. And LA Machineguns is an underrated GEM of a game so I need to get that someday...

For all those who are curious:

Sin and Punishment for Wii was a total flop (no promotion) and it can be found in bargain bins and discounted heavily....grab this gem while you can, it's quite possibly one of the most imaginative and intense on rails shooters EVER.

Also, the House of the Dead series are pretty good and can be bought cheap on Wii.

They may be fewer but they will still be there. If they ever do fully disappear i will miss them for sure.
