Insane Ruling: Plastic Wii Zapper Gun Toy Gets PEGI 18 Rating

Playing cowboys and native American indigenous peoples with plastic pretend guns was about the best fun you could have as a six-year old growing up in the wilds of South Yorkshire, SPOnG fondly remembers (perhaps with slightly rose-tinted specs).

Alas, with the modern fear and moral panic over everything and anything to do with guns, it seems that children will not be allowed to play with Nintendo's new Wii Zapper, which is to be slapped with a PEGI 18-rating when it comes out next month.

Perhaps the ban makes a little more sense when you realize that one of the main Wii games to make full use of the gun is the genuinely scary, on-rails survival shooter Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles which Capcom has announced will be hitting shelves on November 30.

Hilarious. Stores can sell authentic looking gun controllers for shootem'ups, without an 18 rating, but this? Gah. Idiocy running rampant.

Capt CHAOS6075d ago

It's the included game (I guess)

How can toy stores sell toy guns?

Wii60PS3DSPSP6075d ago

Im gonna cap sum punks with my Zapper yo! Also is this for the Zapper with the Zelda game that comes with it or is it for the Resident Evil game?

pilotpistolpete6075d ago

Eum right. Will they ban those stupid wiimote "sword" accessories too?

DethWish6075d ago

Ehh lewl..
There have been light guns for years and I don't think any of them has been rated like this?

Behind AC: New Horizons, this is my 2nd most wanted game this year.
Until Capcom remade RE2, RE3: Nemesis on PS1 was my favourite RE game.

Tross1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

I do think it's easily one of the most underrated RE games. I'm looking forward to fending off REmake Nemesis, especially since I heard his appearances throughout the game will now be somewhat randomized.

AK911554d ago

Umbrella chronicles is still my favourite it was really cool going back and playing the classics with updated graphics.

Nerdmaster1554d ago

I would say I thought Darkside Chronicles was better mainly because 2, Code Veronica and 4 (kind of represented in the game by Leon and Krauser) are my favorite games. But the super shaky camera in Darkside really bothered me...

Code veronica
the most difficult RE ever

2pacalypsenow1954d ago

Hell yeah it is.

That tyrant on the plane bit is a pain.

ButchKween1954d ago

That was my 1st entry into the series and yes it's very hard but so rewarding. If you don't play it right you can't actually progress If you're low on ammo 4 boss fight on plane or final boss. or if u don't leave ammo for the 2nd character later in the game in item box. I found that out the hard way. Just FYI even though Claire's the main character you play Chris for the final boss fight you better make sure there's enough items for him in the Box or you are fu@#$d

2pacalypsenow1954d ago

Fun fact, Code Veronica is actually the sequel to 2 and RE3 is a spin-off

IRetrouk1954d ago

Originally yes, it was going to be a spin off with a different lead, they changed it to Jill to tie it into the series and made it a companion title to 2 instead, cv is a sequel to both lol

Are we ever gonna see psnow in Europe territories such as france, Italy, Germany...
Why are we always getting the same shitty treatment from Sony. Especially considering we are their leading territory.

Junebug3067d ago (Edited 3067d ago )

I would hope so... Japan is going to get ni no kuni as a PS Now as far as I can tell.

Rob72743067d ago

Well if you all spoke English it would make things easier lol.

Just messing I hope they fix this soon as your right the countries you mentioned have been the most loyal to Sony over the last 5-10 years.
I'm sure there working on it.
