This is awful, awful news. This is nintendo's thinking:
"Let's release things similar to other companies' 3rd party peripherals! People are bound to buy ours, even though they serve no purpose!"
"But we need TITLES to go with those games, dammit! A nintendo wheel and zapper with 3rd party games won't work."
"I've got it! Let's do a shoddy re-make of mario kart and package that with a piece of plastic we can call the "nintendo wheel". It'll be a plastic case, adding nothing to gameplay, but let's advertise that it has a hole to press the b-button!"
"Don't all the other wheels have that already?"
"Yes, but shhhh! Mario kart!"
"What about some other piece of plastic like a gun? I hear there's an on-rails shooter of resident evil coming out and uh... nothing else."
"Excellent! Quick, sloppily design it to have no extra features!"
"Done! But uh-oh... it's getting bad reviews, people are realising it's not adding but TAKING AWAY features!"
"It's okay... we're nintendo... uh... mario... metroid... ZELDA!! ZELDA!! Make a zelda game that we can package with it, and HURRY!"
"Done!"
"Excellent... now people will have no choice but to buy the wii zapper unless they want to miss out on Link's Crossbow Training..."
"Don't people already KNOW how to use the wii-remote, and by extension the wii-zapper-plastic thingy?"
"SILENCE!!!"
Also this is going to be at least $49.95 here. You can quote me on that.
