Ha! Yeah, me too.
This old thread on Hudson's Shooting Watch for iOS (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=7255.0) (and other web-based iOS games Hudson shoved Bonk into) might be amusing to you.
Read it whilst you wait for someone to locate a shooting watch for you :pcgs:.
They also make it for DSi, which, while not as good as the real deal, is going to be a lot better than banging on a non-moving iPhone screen.

I remember trying to inch my way up the leaderboard in the iOS version...it was impossible for me to even touch the top 100 (200?) scores. I don't know how folks did it, touch screen or not. It was uncanny.
I can imagine a lot of iPhones dying that way!
Incidentally, I was playing Samurai Kirby yesterday, and found it very hard to get below a 9 (reaction times lol), so I tested online and my response time shows as being lower than average! Then I played my ex at Kirby, and she kicked my ass. She even managed to get a 00 time!
I can only hope button speed and timing (already proven with megaton punch) will validate my self worth.

A theory: They put their hands on the window of a washing machine at full speed and then place the iPhone/Pod so the finger juuuust reaches it.

Seriously. I was imagining some scores were 100% legit and some scores were generated by slices of salami strapped to a power sander. (https://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgb.gif)

Not in Japan, but they're hard to find outside of Japan :(
Well I got one, but I'm finding it really hard! I can only get 78 so far :/ and it doesn't seem to matter if I use one finger or two, that's all I can do!

You can do it. You can break 100. :pcgs:
I've broken 100 now :) It has two other things marked ? That you can unlock, one of them is a bit like a random number generator, the other one is still locked. I imagine you have to get a certain score to unlock them.

Congrats. Yes, to unlock more stuff, you have to perform certain feats. :pcgs:
I've had this alarm for years:
(https://web.archive.org/web/20111114234843im_/http://gaygamer.net/images/famicom-controller-alarm-clock.jpg)
It has a built-in mini game thats the exact same thing as on these other "Shooting Watches" (Except they never labeled it that; I never knew that it actually had a "name"). When you get a score above like 125 or something, it unlocks a second alarm sound. Pretty cool. :)
Plus, the start and select buttons are rubber like a real Famicom.
If anyone is interested in a shooting watch, I think this would be a pretty cool choice if you can still buy this model somewhere (I got mine from ThinkGeek.com but apparently they don't have them anymore). Just my two cents.
