Game system, game device, storage medium storing game program, and game process method

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for use with a game system that includes at least one processor comprising hardware and a controller device, the controller device including (1) a first input control manipulable by at least one finger of a user, (2) a second input control manipulable by at least one finger of the user, and (3) an inertia sensor for detecting at least one of movement and attitude of the controller device, the stored instructions comprising instructions that cause the processing system to:

• control an orientation of an aiming direction for shooting in a virtual game space based on a first signal outputted from the first input control and a second signal outputted from the inertia sensor;
• in response to reception of a user input to the second input control, perform a shooting process in the virtual game space in accordance with the controlled orientation of the aiming direction;
• generate, based on a virtual camera positioned in the virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space;
• and
• cause the generated game images to be outputted for display.

A computer game method that operates on a game system that includes at least one processor comprising hardware and a controller device, the controller device including (1) a first input control manipulable by at least one finger of a user, (2) a second input control manipulable by at least one finger of the user, and (3) an inertia sensor for detecting at least one of movement and attitude of the controller device, the computer game method comprising:

• controlling an orientation of an aiming direction for shooting in a virtual game space based on a first signal outputted from the first input control and a second signal outputted from the inertia sensor;
• in response to reception of a user input to the second input control, performing a shooting process in the virtual game space in accordance with the controlled orientation of the aiming direction;
• generating, based on a virtual camera positioned in the virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space;
• and
• causing the generated game images to be outputted for display.

A game system comprising:

• a first input control manipulable by at least one finger of a user;
• a second input control manipulable by at least one finger of the user;
• an inertia sensor for detecting at least one of movement and attitude of a controller device that includes the first input control;
• and
• at least one hardware processor configured to:
• generate, based on a virtual camera positioned in a virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space, wherein the generated game images include a targeting marker that indicates a position within the virtual game space,
• change an aiming direction for shooting in a virtual game space based on a first signal outputted from the first input control and a second signal outputted from the inertia sensor, wherein how the aiming direction is changed correspondingly changes the position(s) within the virtual game space that are indicated by the targeting marker,
• in response to reception of a user input to the second input control of the controller device, perform a shooting process in the virtual game space based on the aiming direction, and
• cause the generated game images, which include the targeting marker, to be outputted for display.

A game system comprising:

• a first input control manipulable by at least one finger of a user;
• a second input control manipulable by at least one finger of the user;
• an inertia sensor for detecting at least one of movement and attitude of a controller device that includes the first input control;
• and
• at least one hardware processor comprising hardware configured to:
• generate, based on a virtual camera positioned in the virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space,
• change an attitude of the virtual camera based on a first signal outputted from the first input control and a second signal outputted from the inertia sensor,
• control an aiming direction for shooting in a virtual game space based on the first signal outputted from the first input control and the second signal outputted from the inertia sensor,
• in response to reception of a user input to the second input control of the controller device, perform a shooting action in the virtual game space in accordance with the controlled aiming direction, and
• cause the generated game images to be outputted for display.
