The official Japanese site confirmed what plenty of people, including me, imagined. Disaster: Day of Crisis’ combat segments feel like a light gun game with a cover system. To fire your gun you point with the remote and pull the trigger with the B button. Don’t break out the Wii Zapper yet. While Disaster: Day of Crisis has arcade style shooting it has events that wouldn’t work right if the remote/nunchuck were encased in a plastic shell.

In one rescue scene you help Raymond save a person from a deadly fall by swinging the remote to grab their hand.

Disaster: Day of Crisis has tilt control driving too.

 

So Disaster: Day of Crisis is like a light gun game of the future? It’s unclear if you are on rails or if you can actively search for survivors. Either way I’m looking forward to picking up Disaster: Day of Crisis this month. I’m a sucker for light gun games and I’m interested to see how Monolith Soft plans to fill the void of original action games developed specifically for the Wii
