Dead Rising Wii controls explained
If you're curious as to how Capcom plans to capitalize on the Wii's motion controls for the Dead Rising port (hint: it involves a lot of waggling), IGN has outlined a handful of ways the developer plans to enhance the port. Unsurprisingly, shooting with a hand gun (as seen above) will be done via pointing at the screen, with the reticle changing to red when you're highlighting a zombie weak point. If you're using a long-zoom weapon like a sniper rifle, however, aiming is done with the nunchuk's analog stick and zooming via the Z and C buttons.
Other weapons will have Wii remote-specific controls, such as shaking the remote to build up charge on your baseball bat to ensure a "home run swing." You can assign weapon shortcuts to the D-pad. And should an overly-affectionate zombie want to give you a hug, shake the monster off by -- you guessed it -- shaking the Wii remote.
