Product Description

With the Wii Zapper, your game shooting experience is guarenteed to take on a whole other dimension. Your Wii remote and nunchuck fit snugly into the Zapper, still working as well as before, only now in a shape that, when simulating the use of a weapon such as a gun or bow, allows for a steadier hand that is much less likely to get tired. Included with the Zapper is Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii, a clever and engaging shooting game set in the world of Twilight Princess that includes 27 different levels, several different game modes and multiplayer capability up to four people. Link's Crossbow Training is ESRB Rated T for Teen.

The Wii Zapper is a gun peripheral that allows the user to insert a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, both sold separately, into either end and play a compatible game. The control stick on the Nunchuk controls player movement (on stages that allow player movement), while aiming the Wii Zapper moves the targeting reticule on the screen. The Zapper comes with Link's Crossbow Training, which helps to familiarize the player with the Zapper in a shooting gallery style game. Link's Crossbow Training contains three game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger.

Features:

• Target Shooting: In target-shooting rounds, players shoot bull's-eyes as they pop up on the screen. In early stages, targets are stationary. As the game difficulty increases in later levels, the targets move. Hitting the center of the bull's-eye nets more points, and hitting targets in succession without missing earns combo multipliers. Link can aim anywhere on the screen.
• Defender: In defender rounds, players remain stationary but can look and aim in all directions by aiming off screen. Hordes of enemies assault Link, and he must fight them off. These battles have a great deal of variety, from fighting off skeletons in a desert to defending a wagon from boar-riding Bokoblins.
• Ranger: In ranger rounds, players can move throughout the level using the control stick and aim anywhere they want by aiming the Wii Zapper wherever they want to look. In these missions, Link storms enemy encampments, fights his way through a forest and seeks out his foes while exploring the environments.
• The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are sold separately

Customer Reviews

Good
The Zapper is somewhat short in length, so I wish it were adjustable to allow the player to expand his/her arm distance. The one other downside I find with the Zapper is that it requires a very steady hand. Link's Crossbow Training often requires the player to point at a target with precise aim, but it is made difficult because the line of sight between the Zapper and on-screen crosshairs has a slight delay and tends to drift outside of the desired focal point.

Despite the Zapper's limitations, Link's Crossbow Training is a thrill. Each stage provides a different type of play and all are fun to explore by using the Zapper for various functions like shifting character point of view.

I'm very pleased with this Wii package, mostly because of the entertainment value of the included game. Overall, I think it's a good buy!

Good gear, good game
The zapper has good design for holding the controlers, the game is also fun. It's worth the price.

Zapper takes it to another level...
Just purchased the Zapper and have been playing Ghost Squad and man, what a blast it's been.

It makes for a much more satisfying and immersive gamining experience than using control pads (which have always prevented me from really enjoying any shooting games).

I'm lookin forward to other games that the Zapper enhances and also plan on buying the new pistol.

FYI: You can change the control set-up (at least for GP) so that you fire with the Z trigger (like a real gun) and perform actions w/ the B trigger which makes it even better; Nintendo really got this one right!
