Since the official unveiling, Nintendo has been coy about the mystery title that would ship with the forthcoming Wii Zapper. Destructoid's mole on the inside of this week's GameStop Manager's Conference (which is currently taking place in Las Vegas) has revealed that the title in question will be Link's Crossbow Training. While no more information on the game is available at this time, one can only assume that it will star Link of Legend of Zelda fame and quite possibly, he will have a crossbow. Also, there will be training involved. The MSRP on this bad boy still stands at $19.99. More information as it comes in. [Update: Unfortunately, this update is not "Just kidding!" Our source tells us that the game has a similar look to Twilight Princess, and will ship in October (or at least before Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles). No word on whether or not the title was -- or will be -- playable at the GameStop Manager's Conference this week.]

Wow, that's a"I am so getting laid tonight" smile. Also zero.
[sarcasm]Sound fucking fantastic! Just as fantastic as the Zapper itself![/sarcasm]
Everyone knows that games with "Crossbow" in the title rarely have crossbows.
destructiod is so stoopid
I want Celda Link, not the stupid OOT/TP lil' bitch.
First law of physics = anything that's fun costs at least 8 dollars.
19.99>8
There's a chance the game will be fun, but I'm not counting on it.
Wait a minute... Kirby's Adventure costs 5 dollars on VC, and it's fun. 5<8. PHYSICS HAS LIED TO ME!
Kirby's adventure is the best game I downloaded on the VC.
Though I still don't have Super Metroid yet.
Dear Nintendo,
Fucking Duck Fucking Hunt.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
DUCK HUNT.
Will it be compatible with BioStorm?
I guess it was easier to have the zapper emulate a crossbow rather than a short/longbow, still, it doesn't seem right for Link to be using one (won't someone please think of the canon?).
ZOMG, how did you get that picture of me?
You know, this sort of rampant speculation is not why I come to Destructoid. Besides, you're totally wrong. Link's Crossbow Training is going to be a sequel to Battleclash, my cousin's dad's brother's son told me so.
@dvddesign
I've always wondered why there has never been another Duck Hunt game, since the SNES had the Super Scope (although that was the last "gun" peripheral that Nintendo has made, until the Wii Zapper). I'm pretty sure a Duck Hunt sequel could sell well, what with the original Zapper almost always being connected to Duck Hunt, so this peripheral could ride that association, I guess. Plus, it'd be awesome to see a 3D version of that damned dog, unless Nintendo has to casualize every one of their games.
Wait for it...wait for it.
WTF?!
as previously mentioned before DUCK HUNT! That, or some kind of Resident evil: Umbrella chronicles episodic style game, that would kick ass. but Ive still got my good ol' duck hunt on my NES, so I guess I can survive....
@Mxy: Hey, a new Battleclash would be pretty sweet. I still remember playing it and Metal Combat. I just wish my Super Scope still worked, Maybe I'll go hunting for one on the eBays.
When has link ever used a crossbow? Plus, you usually hold those things like a shotgun.
What the fuck is up with that Brian Peppers cosplayer in the back? And is he straddling some dude?
I wish I was president of Nintendo so I could say "Stop production on Zelda Crossbow Training and get to work on Metroid Dread" and then all of the Metroid fans would be like "I love you Collin" And not only would I get to play a new 2-D Metroid...I might also get laid.
Link´s Crossbow training?
Yes, because that makes so much sense. You're buying a gun attachment, so...throw in a crossbow!
:l Don't care, Umbrella Chronicles will make up for this doodoo.
i guess this is nintendo's response to "bioshock"
Cosplay = Fail at life and afterlife. Jesus' book says so on page 1.
wait wait wait....we are using a device shapped like a tommy gun to fire...A CROSSBOW?! How in the Christ does that match up in any bloody way?
Oh sweet... a crossbow game! That'll make the Wii Zapper worth buying!
Haha, very funny. I don't buy it, not for a second. Nice try.
Haha I hope you're just trying to be funny by mixing Zelda with Brain Training , Nick!
You know, I enjoy the original Zelda, and I have a soft spot for much of the franchise, but...
Don't over-do it, and give me my fucking Duck Hunt.
Hang on... Why is the zapper coming with a Crossbow game?
Surly the WiiBow would be better?
Nintendo, just do what everyone wants you to do: Finish Mario Galaxy, finish Smash Bros, and get rid of friend codes. That's it, that's all you need to do.
I guess Nintendo is saving Duck Hunt for when they have a profit slump.
Which should be... never?
Whatever, Wii Zapper Play will suck and everyone will get one once there is a good non-Duck Hunt shooting game for it :P
To hell with Duck Hunt, this is quite obviously paving the way for a glorious return to...
YOSHI'S SAFARI!
This is the first completely bad move Nintendo has made with the Wii so far. Say what you will about the Wii being weak and having crappy online. It hasn't hurt the system's sales any.
This worthless peice of plastic wont sell with out the Duck Hunts.
I wnats teh duck hunts.
You would think the game would be more gun-related, since the zapper would be better at simulating that.
What if you hunt ducks in the game? Maybe it can be Zelda and Duck Hunt?
GameStop employees NEVER LIE!
zzzzzaaaap
If they stick the duck hunt dog in this game, then I will love it.
If not, then not.
They should ship the Zapper with Duck Hunt: St. Valentine's Day Edition and you could murder countless ducks (and that damn dog) in the back of an alley in Chicago all Tommy Gun style. THAT would make this thing worth it. Stupid ass crossbow training will not. They should be trained to make rational decisions when it comes to shit like this. For reals.
Damn it, they're only supposed to whore out Mario to this extent.
LOL, good jo- wait you're not kidding? Wow, Link is a becoming like Mario, a complete whore. Can't wait to see Link Party (sounds catchy don't it?) and Zelda Tennis.
I fucking hate you Nintendo.
wtf omg lol...seriously where is my hunting of the ducks...of course nintendo could be waiting for this peripheral release and then put up Duck Hunt on the VC finally for 500 points.
I dont see what all the Nintendo hate is, For 20 dollars you was not going to get the classic light gun game to define a generation. It's just a small game to get people to buy the wii zapper peripharal. Umbrella Chronicles and many many more will showcase the zapper
Ok I can't get the BB code business to work I'll stop posting sorry
God damn you Nintendo and your whored out IPs! Gimme Duck Hunt and the skeet-skeet shooting!
How about all the ninty haters just get one Login, and then they can make one post, and then those of us interesting in discussing a device/game/announcement can freely do so, without, "nintendo = whore" every other post. FOr fuck's sake, are all of your 360's redringed? DId you finally realize that there's nothing to play on your PS3? No? Go play games, stupid dicks.
