Nintendo Releases the Wii Zapper

Wii Zapper

By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews

One of the best elements of the Nintendo Wii is the unique set of controllers. Not only that, there have been aftermarket attachments that turn the controller into a more-realistic racket, for example. Today Nintendo released the Zapper, a controller shell for both the Nunchuk and Wii Remote that looks like, well, what do you think it looks like?

The Zapper ($20) ships with a game, Link’s Crossbow Training, which is really a training ground for use of the Zapper, though it is derived from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. You play as Link in 27 mini-games which fall into two genres: target practice and protecting Link from enemies.

Nintendo plans to come out with more controller shells, but the one I (and other people looking for more exercise with their Wii) am looking forward to is the Wii Fit along with the Wii Balance Board.

    i wonder how well the controler will fit into that device with the new rubber packs.

    i can foresee it being a pain to which between games.
