The long-awaited Wii light gun ships on 11/19 for $19.99, and will include Zelda Crossbow Training. Finally a reason to blow the dust off the Wii and plug it back in. I'm really eager to get my hands on Umbrella Chronicles and Ghost Squad.
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Nintendo announced today that
the Wii Zapper(TM) interface for the hit Wii(TM) home video game system
will come packed with Link's Crossbow Training(TM). The software is based
on the hugely popular Legend of Zelda(R) series and provides a perfect
demonstration of the way the Wii Zapper could be used in other games. The
Wii Zapper casing houses both the motion-sensitive Wii Remote(TM) and
Nunchuk(TM) controllers in a single unit for precision targeting. It goes
on sale Nov. 19 at an MSRP of just $19.99.
"The Wii Zapper combines our remarkable controllers into one housing
with a classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games," says George
Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and
corporate communications. "Both veteran and first-time players will find it
brings a whole new dimension to games where targeting is key and provides
even more exciting game-play experiences."
Link's Crossbow Training drops players into a world in the style of The
Legend of Zelda(R): Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero
Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow
marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving
targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies.
Third-party publishers have lined up to support the Wii Zapper. EA's
Medal of Honor Heroes(TM) 2 lets players take World War II into their hands
with the Wii Zapper. The game features an all-new Wii-exclusive Arcade Mode
that offers accessibility to gamers of all skill levels, a full
single-player campaign and support for up to 32 players in multiplayer.
Capcom's Resident Evil(R): The Umbrella Chronicles reveals the back story
behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from
Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3, as well as new never-before-seen locations
like Umbrella's stronghold. One or two players use the Wii Zapper to take
aim against a horde of zombies in first-person perspective. SEGA's Ghost
Squad(TM) lets players replicate the arcade light-gun experience at home
with the Wii Zapper.
