Wii Blaster available June 27th: PEW! PEW! PEW!

70 DOLLAS FOR SIGMA??? GOOOOD LAWD!!

You notice what it says in there? It's compatible with "Nintendo Duck Hunt." Woot!

@DinnertimeNinja

It looks like the nunchuck becomes the handle if you ask me. So the trigger is probably going to be one of the nunchuck buttons, like Z.

Am I blind or is that what it looks like in the picture? It also says "Wii Controller and Nunchuck not included."

If this is indeed the case, then what about games that don't use Z to shoot?

Wiitarded.

That sooooo frickin' sweet. I'm there. I love the way it just incorporates the WiiMote and nunchuck. The tech is already there, this just makes it more gunlike. And you can't go wrong with making things more gunlike.

Well it's not official but dealextreme has had them for a while

I like THIS one myself... a lot BETTER. I just can't seem to find the website I found it at earlier today...

To RainbowBlack:

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl
Mario Party 8
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Mario Galaxy
Project H.A.M.M.E.R. (Which is not cancelled, despite rumors.)

If those reasons don't get you exited for a Wii, then we fail at our jobs. :)

Love, Nintendo.

You can use the wiimote like a lightgun, I had the bow and arrow working like a lightgun in LOZ:TP after calibrating the wiimote.

I particularly like the way Sony and Nintendo are pricing their remakes. Nintedo has the Resident Evil 4 port for $30. I am going to buy that. I stopped playing the GC version when I heard it was coming out on the Wii, and I've been in the middle of that fucking game for six months. $30 is fair as hell, considering that plus the $20 I spent on the pre-played GC version, it's STILL $20 cheaper than Ninja Gaiden: Remak- I mean, Sigma. Wow, Sony finally comes up with a game that's a system seller (for Sony fanboys who didn't play either xbox version) that's not really going to sell systems (because Sony fanboys already have a PS3) and they price it to the absolute, pound-you-in-the-ass limit. Sony is not making good decisions.

As far as the wii blaster, it looks to me to be more third party bullshit to be avoided, like almost every single controller peripheral ever produced by a third party, with the acception of the guitar hero controllers and dance pads. I have the best luck aiming with the wimote with my wrist rested firmly on my knee, twitching my wrist while using the onscreen cursor to aim relatively, rather than sighting down the remote. The relative technique works no matter where your sitting or how your box is configured. Spending an extra twenty bucks for a more cumbersom piece of plastic (which is probably going to greatly complicate the cinematic action sequences that have you waving around the remote or nunchuck in RE4) that then requires me to calibrate my set and sit in the same spot every time seems like a waste of fucking time that's perfect for the not-so-hardcore crowd to use for a day or two then ignore. This crap comes out (and we'll see more of it, rest assured) to capitalize on the wii's unprecedented success, and most of it is going to be utter bullshit, so hang onto those reciepts, and make sure you can return that bogus mess since it doesn't actually include a game.
