Topic: On Rails Shooters?

Hi all! One genre I loved on the Wii was the 'On Rails Shooter'.

I used to play Ghost Squad to death

Are there any out on the Wii U? Or any planned for the future? Is there any kind of shooter that utilises the Wii Zapper attachment?

I would like to see them somehow use the Wii U pad as a scope or maybe even a secondary screen you have to refer to for enemy locations etc, whilst using the Wii Zapper as the primary weapon.

I assume if not that I can play my old Wii games in Wii mode? Otherwise the Wii will be coming out of the loft

There are a ton quality ones the Wii. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead: Overkill, House of the Dead 2 & 3, Ghost Squad, Sin & Punishment 2, Link's Crossbow Training, Dead Space: Extraction, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles etc.

I can't think of any big names on the WIiU though.

And yes, you can play them all on the WiiU in Wii-mode.

don't know of any on the Wii U, but glad to know I'm not the only one who likes on rail shooters, I hate motion controls but I thank them for helping revive the genre last gen... I'm one of the few people in the world who enjoys playing on rail shooters with a gamepad (have fond memories of playing lethal enforcers on Sega CD with a gamepad)...... the PS3 had a decent number of on-rail shooters (HD ports of Wii or Arcade games mostly)

I agree with what @19Robb92 except for dark side chronicles that one was terrible.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully someone will put out a few on rails Wii U shooters for us to play!

I want a HotD Overkill sequel, Virtua Cop on the VC and Panzer Dragoon!
