Sometimes I miss the simplicity of games like Time Crisis and Ghost Squad. They were so simple but satisfying.

I meant in terms of for the current/modern consoles... I know arcade games lack the depth which many people crave but they usually were so satisfying to play.

^THIS.
I was playing PS VR last week and replaying Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, which is pretty much the modern equivalent to a light gun game. There are also several other titles on Playstation VR that are the modern day light gun equivalent.

I played 5 a little while back.

It has six levels in it, which is absurd for an arcade game. It was ok. The most fun about it is how damn stupid the character designs look.

3 was the only I played the hell out of in high school.

Yes. At least the old ones. I saw a YouTube video of a guy who tried to play Duck Hunt on a non-CRT TV, but it didn't work, because CRT scanlines are drawn one after the other, but modern LCD and LED displays are instantaneous. He had to rig up some adapter for the screen and the gun, and make some software to delay the signal into real scanlines (not just a scanline-looking filter).

I think the closest I've seen is using Wiimotes in a gun-like accessory on Ghost Squad but that still worked well and I enjoyed it. I'd gladly do that again with a newer title.

There was one that released on Xbox digital, and it was a light game only title. They released the game and pissed a lot of people off because not only can you not use a controller, the light gun wasn't even available for sale for over 2 months later. So they sold the game with no way to play it whatsoever. When the gun did finally drop, it was a small light pistol and it was $100.

I think that kind of failure alone has all but killed the genre.

It is but they've been so mum about it there's nothing to get excited about.

Unless they confirm they've cracked the HDTV light gun puzzle, there's nothing to it.

it's already been cracked, though
the mars light con and the sinden lightgun both use more or less the same technique to work with modern tvs, which is cameras

I thought that was a proprietary platform with no integration with a full console.
