+ | - A shell with nunchuck built-in. Still requires insertion of wiimote. | ||
+ | - A stand-alone gun. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The only ones I've tried are the first type. The form-factor of the official shell is good for some games, like the [[Sega Model 2]] ports. For other stuff I tend to use a little Nyko pistol shell with an uncomfortably wide grip. There are now some clones with the same design. | ||
