Wii Zapper: There Has to Be a Better Way to Do This
Electroma \| 2:15 PM on 07.12.2007	9 comments

When I look at that picture, I can't help but get the feeling that there is a much more efficient way of going about the design of a gun peripheral. Why not design an add-on with the same functionality of the nunchuck that allows for WiiMote attachment instead of this monstrosity? And do I really have to pay $20 US (to buy it separately) for a piece of plastic that basically acts as a WiiMote holder?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

What real gun has three handles?

Justice

He's talking about the gun not a game

I agree with Justice about the gun.. Also they said at E3 that this was going to change FPS games, I know metroid is not a FPS but, why are they using this instead of sticking with the basic Wiimote and Nunchuck if that was supposed to be the Killer of Mouse and KeyBoard..

Plus I like the zapper they showed at last years E3..

This won't, or shouldn't be used for Metroid. This doesn't allow access to everything you need for Metroid, namely motion control over the nunchuck. This is more for a game like Umbrella Chronicles, where it's a more mindless run and gun (or rail and gun).

Don't think of it as a THIRD HANDLE but as a clip like this gun.

Handle, trigger handle thingy, and clip = 3!

PS: Not all FPS will use this attachment, Metroid Prime 3 won't be able to since both controllers act as independent hand.
