+ | There are three different types, I would say. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - A shell with no electronic parts. You put a Wiimote in, and attach a nunchuck if required. | ||
+ | - 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. | ||

+ | === uDraw GameTablet === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A resistive tablet and pressure-sensitive stylus developed by [[THQ]]. You attach and dock the Wiimote inside, and there are some games released for it that take advantage of the tilt functionality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A version was later released for the [[sony_playstation_3|PS3]] and [[microsoft_xbox_360|360]]. It looks a little different, and seems to add some multitouch functionality. | ||
