I talked about my immense dissatisfaction with the Wiizapper at E3 time, and despite the passionate argument of Dyson Grigsby, my mind remains unchanged. A lot of my disappointment stemmed from my desire for a gun that would be fun to use with Wii titles, as the system's emphasis on wireless movement seemed to be the perfect setting for it. While Wiizapper earned a big bunch of fail in my book, I got excited at the site of this rifle. Firstly, just based on looks, I'm getting it drunk and taking it home. Everywhere that Wiizapper is awkward and bumpy, the rifle is all sleek and smooth and naked and white and....um. Phew. Anyway, at a wallet melting $16.98, I think it could be a must add to your collection. Hell, even if it didn't work well I think I'd feel good about spending $16.98 to have it as a really sexy costume prop. However, I also am excited at the prospect of a gun that holds like a gun, rather than Wiizapper's strange use-both-hands strategy. I want to forget I'm in the real world while I'm blasting the face off someone's skull, and anything that takes me out of the game is just not going to cut it. The rifle, on the other hand, has lock and load. Now that sounds like sexy time. [Thank you Blindside Dork!]

YES!!
Must.
Have.
Now.
I agree with this picture DO WANT..
something tells me this is the second coming of the POWER GLOVE.
jizz
This could work. I'm praying to God this works.
hell yes!
If there was a game to play with that, I would be all over it.
but thats a shotgun, not a rile ;-)
Panda...Ghost Squad!
And the review to prove so!
Don't mind me, I just troll this site
(testing comments preview page)
fuck yeah, this looks great
SW33T!
If Nintendo has a game to match the epic win that is that rifle, I will buy a Wii for my girl for her birthday. And play it all the time.
Niero, GTFO you troll.
And that gun is shit hot.
Panda and Gamegoblin, your avatar's confuse me almost as much as Kannon's did.
@ WiiSucks
Big enough to put in your pocket. And by pocket I mean...
Wait, didn't you leave this site already twice? Make up your mind foo!
Keep in mind, this isn't OFFICIAL Nintendo software.
If I look at it more, I will be tempted to buy it...
THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!
Now i want a wii
This is fine for the world market, but c'mon. WTF. This is America.
WE WANT A SUPER SCOPE ... BUT LIKE ... EVEN BIGGER! MAKE A QUADRUPLE BARREL ROCKET LAUNCHER FOR BOTH SHOULDERS!
haha fuck yes niero!!! both shoulder strap quad barrel rocket launcher with super duper scope and laser..with lil pink tassels
haha fuck yes niero!!! both shoulder strap quad barrel rocket launcher with super duper scope and laser..with lil pink tassels
haha fuck yes niero!!! both shoulder strap quad barrel rocket launcher with super duper scope and laser..with lil pink tassels
I will be buying this. And I also agree with Niero, a super scope type gun would be so awesome!
gave me some weird error.telling me it wouldnt post.. then this happened.. sorry
What are we supposed to do with the cord hanging out of the bottom of the nunchuck? Why can't a gun be made that replaces the nunchuck entirely? Sure it would be more expensive to include the electronics but it would certainly be more comfortable and sturdy and not cost as much as Nunchuck + Plastic Gun seperately...
Agreed. Total lame. Its even using the old NES color scheme pretty much. Wow I love nintendo's ability to re-create crap they have already done and people still flock to it like gold.
First re-hashes of mario games and metroid..and smash bros...and now re hashes of hardware (wii fit-power pad,Wii shotgun-blaster)
But who cares its gonna sell billions!
Boy, if this had been what Nintendo had shown at E3, then Colette and I would've been in NRA heaven together. Actually, I wish they had shown this at E3 because it's way fucking cooler than the Wii Zapper!
Are you guys all serious, or is this some sort of joke? This thing looks like a piece of shit. With the Zapper you have the numbchuck attached so you can use the joystick and 2 extra buttons. Plus there will be no support for this one, the zapper already has 3 games that support it. The tommy gun style of the zapper is just way too bad ass to pass up, this on the other hand looks like my best attempted at making a 50¢ worthless add-on that people think they will need.
Someone just had to stop the insanity.
...The community is going wild over a piece of plastic. I love it.
Psssst Reallynotnick...
This one holds the Nunchuck too, look at the second picture where the Wiimote and Nunchuck are locked in.
This "version" would actually allow for more use of the top of the Wiimote buttons, while still allowing all the same functionality as the Zapper...
GG whoever made it
Holy shit, a 3rd party periphrial that actually looks better than one made by Nintendo? Did Jerry O'Connell slide me into a paralell universe?
Wait, he got married to Rebecca Romijn here? How the fuck do I get back to my Earth?
as happy as I am about it, how fun it is to use a shot gun for RE and zombie killing games; I am just profound to see that the Wii will be the multi-peripheral of ontology products.
coming soon: Wii-toilet, Wii-rocket, Wii-babysitter, Wii-jetlee personal trainer, Wii-virtualboy body suit, Wii-enema.
Now I havent said it is bad, just that I see where the wii is headed with the casual gamers...
cough* Wii-slave doll cough*
Omg Sliders reference!!
I love that show!!
Time for a Wii Shotgun Wedding!
I don't like either this of the one they showed at E3. I'd personally go with the one below, it just looks better and seems like it'd be more comfortable to use since you can have the Nunchuck separate from the gun part.
NEEDS!
This, is my WIISTICK! Single sensored remote. Nintendo's top of the line. You can find this in the video game accessories department. This baby was made in a factory in China or Taiwan. Retails for about $16.98. It's got a plastic casing, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop extreme. Shop dealextreme. YOU GOT THAT?
Ahem... Mine's bigger
Sorry, I had too, I was bored.
I'm not seeing where the trigger is supposed to be for the Wiimote, assuming you want to do a single grip instead of a barrel grip. Do you have to put your hand near the barrel of the gun in order to press the B button? If so, that is lame with a capital L. I'd rather have something that actually puts a trigger where the trigger should be, like the peripheral Trevor McGee posted.
Don't worry RevAnt, 3rd party developers will be all over that single hand gun, if Ninty doesn't. There's obviously going to be a market for the single gun like that, for us "advanced users" that can use both hands separately.
That is one fucked up looking shotgun.
Does it shoot Nerf sucker darts?
MINE!
Ohhh Nyteshade... I definately want one of those! And an RPG-7 version. Oh and why not an IWiiD for motion controlled roadside-bombing?
I like Trevor McGee's version best. It looks like it would feel... right. The Wii Shotgun looks like one of those $1 shop toy guns, already have enough of those.
I was really hoping for a pair of shoulder mounted Wii short range surface to air missile batteries, but whatever...
@Trevor McGee: That is awesome. DO WANT!
@NightDehumidifier: You win the internets. All of them. The only reason I'm a little bitter is 'cause I didn't think of it first. Good show!
yawn, gimmick.
I praise Nintendo for trying new stuff but i just can't care for the wii at all. No mather how i try.
It doesn't pump? See if it pumped then they could give my wii something fun to play like big buck hunter or carnevil.
Anyone who speaks French can also appreciate the hilarious translations on the product's packaging picture.
Jay, you are not alone. I love innovation but the fact that most of nintendos "creative ideas" stem from things that have been around for 30-40 years, simply bothers me.
Stop acting like they are trying stuff that has never been done before and calling them innovators, when they are releasing the 5 millionth version of mario because they know people will bow to it.
I have been playing gun games in arcades since I was a kid, and those have force feedback and gun movement (chambers move when fired)
I'm waiting for little jack thompson here
What dumbass decided in Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition to put the shoot button on A and the hold button on B?
this looks alot cooler than the zapper and i would get in in a heatbeat but then blindsidedork informs me its not nintendos. eh im always cautious about bying non nintendo merch (cause they suck)
nice
If only you could pump it.
@xtofuconsumerx
3rd party peripheral. Not Nintendo.
"A lot of my disappointment stemmed from my desire for a gun that would be fun to use with Wii titles,"
What the hell else would you desire from a Wii accesory? One that's fun with Dreamcast titles?
Anyway, I guess this one is for both fighting and fun.
