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

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions of a computer game program for use with a game system that includes a processing system and a controller device, the processing system including at least one hardware processor, the controller device including (1) a first input control that is manipulable by at least one finger of a user and (2) an inertial sensor configured to obtain a physical quantity related to movement of the controller, the stored instructions of the computer game program further comprising instructions that cause the processing system to:

• position a virtual game object in a virtual game space;
• calculate a first value as a function of the physical quantity obtained by the inertial sensor;
• calculate a second value as a function of accepted input provided via the first input control;
• control a targeting direction for the virtual game object based on the calculated first value and the calculated second value;
• responsive to reception of a user input, perform a shooting process within the virtual game space in accordance with the controlled targeting direction for the virtual game object;
• generate, based on a virtual camera that is positioned in the virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space;
• and
• cause the generated images to be outputted to a display screen for display thereon.

A computer game method that operates on a game system that includes a processing system and a controller device, the processing system including at least one hardware processor and the controller device including (1) a first input control manipulable by at least one digit of a user, and (2) an inertial sensor configured to determine a physical quantity related to movement of the first controller, the computer game method comprising:

• locating a virtual game object in a virtual game space;
• calculating a first value as a function of the physical quantity obtained by the inertial sensor;
• calculating a second value as a function of accepted input provided via the first input control;
• controlling a targeting direction for the virtual game object based on the calculated first value and the calculated second value;
• responsive to reception of a user input, performing a shooting process within the virtual game space in accordance with the controlled targeting direction for the virtual game object;
• generating, based on a virtual camera that is positioned in the virtual game space, game images of the virtual game space;
• and
• causing the generated images to be outputted to a display screen for display thereon.
