Who got there first this time Sterling!!! Hah! Sucker. I'm doin' a happy dance, a happy dance of getting there first.
Glad this annoyed you as much at it agravated me. People need to learn them some gaming before they make comments like this.

Sterling, you're an idiot. Convicted criminals have every right to play video games as a reward for all the stress they go through thinking about how they're injustly imprisoned because all laws are fake...
Whoa, sorry. I think I was possessed by the spirit of a moron for a sec there.

Well written and well thought out article. I agree that these people are complete and utter morons. Putting the blame on societies problems on anything other than the parent. Americans can be so stupid.
OMG! Nintendo invented shooting games?! They are teh winzorz! Seriously though as Cowzilla said the question was a bit slanted, though some of the responses were stupid.
CLEARLY these people don't know what they are talking about. The thing doesn't shoot bullets. It shoots crossbow bolts. Nintendo invented them, too.
My favorite was the "gun should be pink with a flag coming out of the barrel" bit. I don't know about you, but I never had a red or blue toy gun when I was a kid.
Maybe if american parents realize that oh i don't know... wars lead to much more violence than games, maybe they would vote for better presidents, but hey it's America, there's no logic.
I just want one of the zappers to carry around. Screw the rest of the wii. I feel sorry for the kids who dont get the joy of fake shooting their buddies with fake toy guns while understanding the whole time its all fake. Kind of like wrestling but with guns.
That thing really does look ridiculous. I think I'll stick with the much more realistic looking Glock bundled with Cocoto Magic Circus, a Wii game marketed towards 3 year olds. That way when the cops break in they'll have a good excuse to shoot me in the face, and I'll be famous!
The Magnavox Odyssey had a light gun. It's actually a shorter list of systems that didn't have one (I think, I should probably look into that).
The vast majority of recent, successful consoles have had them, then (with the exception of the Guncon & Guncon 2) suppory almost immediately died off. I guess that doesn't have anything to do with violence or whatever, I just though it was interesting (and kind of sad, because there have been alot of really, really good lightgun games over the years).

For decades now kids have played games were they pretend to kill each other either with imaginary guns or with laser tag.
Hell, even water pistols have the same basic effect.
Should we ban them?
I bet if we could link those to video games then they would be.
Nothing like jumping on an ill-informed, ill-educated band wagon eh?

i had a light gun for my Spectrum, it was wicked, im no killer, then again i do live in England. Maybe if i was american i would have been...
I get the feeling alot of parents are dumb these days, if they stayed at home and looked after thier spawn properly life would be better, plus add punishment in skools, oh and let my hit pikey chavs without any retort!
plus cocks!
dumb fuks!

This Wii Zapper is so deadly, latest U.S. Intel confirm Iran might be sending scores of these into Iraq!
Viva La Resistance! *pew* *pew* You Pigs!

In halfcocked defense of the blathering idiots, they were asked a pretty stupid question, as GamePolitics highlights:
" Wii announced over the summer that it’s coming out the a gun-like remote, so kids can play shooter games, with, well, a shooter.
What do you think about making a wand in the shape of a weapon so play is more realistic? …Is it harmful? …Will you buy one for your kids?"
Watchout guys. Wii is not a company able of releasing things.

Fake guns don't kill people. Retarded parents kill people.
In other news, super soakers, cap guns, BB guns, laser tag, and other 'shooting' related activities are under investigation.

Why is everyone so uptight nowdays? I had loads of toy guns when I was younger. Water pistols, toy guns with sound effects, Action Man figures with guns that weren't multicoloured they were proper looking guns. I had Laser Tag too. Not to forget Time Crisis, House of the Dead 3 and 4 (Shotgun and Uzi, Point Blank and hundreds of other shooters I've played. I think I played Time Crisis when I was about 10 and Duck Hunt a few years after it came out.
The other day we were all playing Gears system link and this kid came in the room. He is about 4 I think and I said I didn't know whether he should be watching this. But anyway I asked him if he thought the game was real and he said no and made it clear you should never do anything like that in real life. Four years old and he knows the difference between reality and fantasy and violence and appropriate behaviour.

Another reader commented, "I think it's irresponsible for Wii to come out with a controller that looks like a gun so kids can play games simulating shooting. What kind of message are we sending as parents when we buy these things for our kids?"
In this case, maybe they aught to not buy it in the first place for their kids. A part of good parenting is knowing when to say "no."
In my case, I'll paint mine flat black and see if I can rob a bank with it.
That'll make some Real-life video game violence headlines
He had a futuristic laser gun. Like something from James Bond: Moonraker. I just gave him all the money.
pewpewpew!

christ, i mean the Wii Zapper looks nothing like a real gun, its, not the same colour or shape, it doesnt even have the trigger in the right place. I hate reactionary OPC fucktards. *grumpy rant ends*
1 problem is what vandamguy said, part of parenting is saying "no." Attention parents: its ok to not get your kid this toy/game if you don't want him/her playing it. The problem is lots of parents don't have the backbone to do this, the kid will throw a fit and rather than sticking to their decision they cave and buy it, I see it all the fn time when I'm out and about. Saying no prepares your child for something called "life" where you don't always get what you want. If your boss fires you and you throw a fit will he hire you back? Hell no.
"The Wii Zapper will lead to murder, chaos, and utterly retarded parents."
I hate to break it to you Jim, but utterly retarded parents have existed since the birth of humankind. Murder? Chaos? What are these things that you speak of?
Anyway, thanks for the article. It was beautifully written as usual.

Now an even closer look (Capitalized the important words)
"when WE buy these things FOR OUR kids?"

This is just more evidence that New Jersey is the armpit of America — not only for the stink, but for its retarded residents. Then again, I’m sure there are many soccer moms out there in middle America who share these morons’ opinions, so I dunno...
“What we have here is a nice collection of some of the most insane blathering I’ve ever seen with regards to the Wii Zapper.”
Insane...or inane? I say both.
“Mommy, I want a Wii Zapper for Christmas!!!”
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”

I live in NJ. The Star Ledger is about as ridiculous as the NY Times can be. It's a non-technical writer who doesn't game at all besides Pinochle. They need to hire more technologically-sound people to write objective pieces instead of this blather.
