Link's Crossbow Training to come with every $20 Wii Zapper
The Wii’s controller scheme allows for various ways to play. Instead of needing to purchase separate peripherals, such as a steering wheel or lightgun, the Wii Remote replicates those functions with plastic shell accessories.
Nintendo revealed at this past E3 its Wii Zapper, which integrates both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk into a lightgun accessory, and has now announced that it will be available at retailers starting November 19 for $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.â€
In addition to the accessory, a Link's Crossbow Training game, based off the Legend of Zelda series, will come packaged with every Wii Zapper. The pack-in title is described in the press release:
“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.â€
Other announced titles that support the Wii Zapper are EA's Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Capcom's Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and SEGA's Ghost Squad.
