Deadstorm Pirates is a pirate-themed arcade light gun shooter developed and published by Namco. Released in 2009, it features a two-player cooperative campaign where players navigate on-rails environments using large, motion-controlled cannon controllers. A mechanical knob on the controller allows players to physically steer their view and guide their path through the levels. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 3 as part of a compilation.
