Don't zap me bro!

Can't sleep, so what better to do that get on dtoid. My question to all of you is this, how many of you actually got a zapper for your Wii? It came out on November 19th for 20 bucks, but how many even got it? Better yet, how many actually even considered getting it? The regular wiimote + nunchuck set costs plenty already ($60 I think?) so why drop another $20 on top of that? And for what, four or five games? Maybe I'm just the odd man out, but I'm definently getting 4 wiimotes and nunchucks before I even consider getting one of these. Anyone else feel this way or am I just going crazy?

It does come with Link's Crossbow Training, so it's not like you're paying $20 for only the Zapper. I'd rather think of it as "Buy Link's Crossbow Training, get a free Wii Zapper!"

Even so, I'm not a big Zelda fan, so I probably won't be picking this up anytime soon. I like the idea, though. Maybe when House of the Dead 2&3 come out. :D

I thought about getting a "Zapper" for the Wii for Umbrella Chronicles, because believe me it start to make your wrist ache from having to keep it angled all the time. However, as I hinted at with the quotations, it wasn't the Nintendo's piece of crap Zapper I was thinking about getting. It was this one:


Wii Light Gun

I just like how it looks better, it seems like it'd feel more natural and I like having the Nunchuck separate without having a butt on the end of it. But, then again, if I really needed that end to combine the two I could get this one instead which is still infinitely better looking than Nintendo's Zapper.


Wii 2 in 1 Combined Light Gun

I've thought about these two, but not the actual Zapper itself. It just looks too goofy and seems like it wouldn't feel natural enough.

Alright, you're new, so I'm going to go easy on you (that, and I'm tired). If you're trying to start a discussion, you should go to the forums. The cblogs are a place for you to make your own statement, your own articles, not to ask other people to make content happen. If people make comments, it will be to respond to the thoughts that you have (hopefully) elaborated on in detail. What you have here would be a great closing paragraph in a story about...something substantial.

That said, I'll be getting one of these just to say "I have it" so I can make fun of it. I'll eventually get that first light gun that Trevor McGee posted.

I would have said the same thing as NeXcros

Thanks for the suggestions, I will take them to heart. I went ahead and wandered on over to the forums like you suggested, made a post on the forums to introduce myself (and seemed to make less of a fool of myself this time), so here's to not looking like an ass. :)

At $20 bucks, I'll probably pick it up eventually just for the novelty. I've already got a complete set of Wii controllers anyway.

 about me

Me, hmm. A toughy, but nonetheless I shall take this task and carry it with pride. I like long walks on the beach, moonlight dinners, and have a passion for everything video games. It all started when I stumbled upon a NES and snowballed from there. As far as what I own from the present, I have a Wii (fanboy requirement) and play many pc games, including the soul-eater wow, but thats it (being broke sucks). So just sit back and enjoy the classical stylings of me.


What Am I Playing?

For the PC I'm playing wow on my 70 mage or one of my many alts.
I'm also playing some Team Fortress 2, with some Fear and Crysis on the side.

For the Wii? What else, Super Mario Galaxy of course.
