So I'm moving on to the Wii and Link's Crossbow Training as my next game. Link's Crossbow Training comes with the Wii Zapper. The Wii Zapper being a piece of molded plastic that attaches to the Wii Remote and nunchuck to essentially form the standard light gun of old. The obvious question here is if the Wii Zapper actually improves the performance of the Wii Remote by providing more stability and therefore better control. I can say that the Wii Zapper is rather easy to attach to the Wii Remote and nunchuck. And the Wii Zapper provides a compartment hidden under a sliding clasp that hides the wiring for the nunchuck. You're able to wrap the cord around two hooks and then hide it all away. It's a very cool little system actually. The Wii Remote itself is held snugly in place. It's not going to come loose even under the wildest of movement. The Wii Zapper is made from a nice solid plastic that feels very durable. It also has a nice weight to it with the Wii Remote and nunchuck in place. The trigger seems solid and so far has been responsive. It doesn't have the snap to it I was expecting. That nice resistance. As for Link's Crossbow Training, is there something to the game or is it merely a distraction made to sell a peripheral? That'll have to wait until next time. I hope the Wii Zapper proves itself worthy especially that the Wii is going to see a flood of light gun type games over the next few months. I already have Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Ghost Squad and SEGA is bringing House of the Dead 2 & 3 Returns and hopefully some Virtua Cop down the line. It's like it's 1986 again and light gun games are common. It would seem what's old is new again as far as the Wii is concerned. And of course the whole quick and easy thing...
