I can just imagine the headlines now....

Ok, those of you who just want to get the Zapper and not really care about the bundled game (Link's Crossbow Training), then maybe this accessory is for you:

It's the Wii Perfect Shot Gun, from NYKO. A pistol type accessory, leaving the other hand free for the nunchuck. Think you prefer this over the Wii Zapper? At the moment Amazon is selling this beauty for US12.99. BARGAIN!!
www.amazon.com/

All i can say is....SEXY!!!

Admins, can someone add this to the accessories section? I just love this plastic gun.

The problem I have with these housings is "how do you press the damn A button?"

Yeah i know. They should re-route the A function to a button on the side of the gun.

i don't get why the A button is the shoot button for so many shooter games on the wii... like metroid

isn't it ideal for B (the trigger) to be the shoot button (the trigger)?

is it a classification thing? like is the trigger too realistically like a gun? you know how nintendo are

LostDjinn says:

In some games (Red Steel) you can choose.
In games where you have to enter an aiming mode before you can shoot so you have to use both (Resi Evil 4). If this is the case with the game your playing then these damn guns mite look great but they're not worth %#&@.

You can change the shoot button in Metroid Prime 3 from A to B... Personally, I prefer A. Dunno why, guess it is because its the default.. *sigh*

Djank says:

yeah, i know that, i always use the default too

but i always wonder why A is(italics

) the default, when there's a perfectly good trigger

when shooting rapidly, it may be easier to press A button rather than the B trigger. I think using the thumb is more effective when you're holding the Wii-Mote in your hand.

when you get home, try to squeeze the B trigger in rapid succession, and see if that's more comfortable than using the thumb on A. i think using B to shoot may actually affect your aiming.

Djank says:

yeah, you're right

i was thinking that as well, like when you pull the trigger, it pulls the wiimote upwards

Yeah it would have to do with tests they had tried out they would have had a person do a level using the a button then the same using the b button which ever the tester found easiest was the one which was used.

Omi says:

Can you even plug the nunchuck into the back of that thing? I'm just thinking about the nunchuck cord, do you think it would restrain you at all?

It does look pretty sweet though, and would be awesome for games that don't need a nunchuck. It's just that with something that nifty looking I'd want to be flailing my hand all over the place pulling off neat little tough guy gun moves, the cord would get in the way of that!

Yep....using that for MP3 would be sweet....oh wait, you have to use the A button. Or for MOH:2 you have to use the A button to look down the sight....so not much good there either. Doh!

This gun looks great. But maybe this highlights a bigger issue. There is only so much a designer can do when coming up with an accessory if the games themselves aren't flexible enough. With a bit more control customisation available in games, accessories like this would shine.

Though as mentioned, there's limited use for most games. And being wii games you dont really "aim" with the gun anyway, though i've read ghost squad gives you the option to calibrate it like a traditional light gun

It does look a lot better, they should just release a Wiimote that is in the shape of a gun, that'd be and look so much cooler

. Too bad conservatives would chuck a hissy.
