    Sweet!

    Just some more info about the "Wii Zapper"
    It took them a while, but Nintendo is finally busting out its Wii Zapper accessory for housing the Wiimote and Nunchaku in a FPS-friendly shell. It'll be out this year, shipping for free with a "far along" unannounced title from Nintendo, and selling stand alone at retail for $20. Other games with announced compatibility include "Ghost Squad," "Medal of Honor" with 32 person online matches, and "Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles." More pics after the break.

    Intriguing.. not sure if I'd prefer it over the standard system just yet, could end up being a mere novelty. But I'll definitely give it a shot :D

    Actually, come to think of it.....

    Imagine if you could use this with the Wii balance board in a new version of Time Crisis.....now that would rock my world :)

    Was all jazzed up at the video of it but when the brought up Medal of Honor and said those fated words "storm the beaches of Normandy" i nearly got sick... seriously, what the F*CK!

    Can't wait for Ghost Squad and this 'untitled' new title.

    Is that the 32 player online MoH that was apparently designed specifically with the Zapper in mind?

    mmmmmm, itchy, tasty ;)

    It's their horrible shameless milking of World War II (is it more than a deade now?). There are only so many Germans that i can shoot before i stop caring, marginally upgraded graphics do not equal a new and fresh gaming experience... worse than the Fifa series in my opinion.

    I know Nintendo have been getting flak about porting games to the Wii to bump up their catalogue but i would be very happy if they brought all of the old Time Crisis games (in a package) to the Wii with the zapper.

    i already seen the wii zapper coming anyway after the old model was shown like a year back i liked the old one better than the new one because it was silver and had no nunchuck involved with a built in analouge:D

    No analogue built in to new version=cheaper costs. I'm salivating when I think of the new options that this bring to FPS...reload, "simply do a John McClean reloading a shotgun" action :D

    This looks pretty interesting i have to say. If it comes free with a game I'd pick it up but I dunno if I'd pay out for it on it's own otherwise.

    Movement and light gunning, all in one! If it works, and I really hope it does, it could be really, really excellent. Really. To think I was bored of first person shooting!
