Nintendo Unleashes Wii Zapper

nintendo wii zapper

In today’s E3 conference, Nintendo announced a much anticipated accessory for their Wii console. Reminiscent of the Duck Hunt gun of yesteryear, the Wii Zapper is designed for modern day FPS games.

In the plastic housing, the Wiimote will act as the pointer, or barrel of the gun. All the while, the Nunchuck is readily accessible, sitting at an angle facing you. This means that you may use the analog stick on the Nunchuck to move your character around.

It will ship later this year, with a retail price of $20.

Mysteriously, Nintendo said it will ship free with a “far-off” FPS game, without giving any insight as to what it might be.

    It looks quite clumsy. Putting the wiimote and nunchuck in one enclosure is a bad idea, it seriously limits your freedom of movement. There’s already a gun that just holds the wiimote; the nunchuck remains in your other hand.
