Nintendo Releases the Wii Zapper

One of the best elements of the Nintendo Wii is the unique set of controllers. Not only that, there have been aftermarket attachments that turn the controller into a more-realistic racket, for example. Today Nintendo released the Zapper, a controller shell for both the Nunchuk and Wii Remote that looks like, well, what do you think it looks like?

The Zapper ($20) ships with a game, Link's Crossbow Training, which is really a training ground for use of the Zapper, though it is derived from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. You play as Link in 27 mini-games which fall into two genres: target practice and protecting Link from enemies.

Nintendo plans to come out with more controller shells, but the one I (and other people looking for more exercise with their Wii) am looking forward to is the Wii Fit along with the Wii Balance Board.

well, yeah, it´s cool. I just hope that the games can use it well, cause "Umbrella Chronicles" and "Medal of Honor Heroes 2" didn´t make so well.
And abou others plastic ctuffs for my Wii, i hope i don´t have to build a new storage room....
