Wii Zapper Saps the Fun From Shooting Games

Wired's Chris Kohler reviews the Wii Zapper and writes that "the Zapper actually makes Wii's shooting games less fun." Here's the conclusion in his review:

"The problem is that while Nintendo promises the Zapper will 'steady your hand and improve your aim,' it actually has the opposite effect. The Wiimote's basic pointer technology lends itself especially well to shooting games, and the Wii Zapper improves nothing. In fact, hauling a heavier, gun-shaped plastic contraption around with both hands only weighs you down and makes it harder to hold your aim steady.

There's really no compelling reason to turn the Wiimote into a light gun -- the standard remote works better without the accessory. Held in one hand, the Wiimote lets you blow away targets with pinpoint accuracy using very subtle, small wrist movements."

Well yes and no. Wii Zapper for Ghost Squad awesome. Wii Zapper for RE:UC bad. Wii Zapper for Links Crossbow Training good. Umm that's it so far right 3 light gun games. Not bad 2/3 work great with the Wii Zapper. Haven't tried it yet with MOH2 though.

how do people aim with it? its too sensitive

Prismo_Fillusion5984d ago

I anchor it on my left hand or on my knee. Learned that technique from Trauma Center, where I needed the precision.

KidMakeshift5984d ago

There's only one real way to play wii games and that's having the wiimote sticking out of your pants while you pretend to ejaculate on the the tv. I'll leave the nunchuk up to your imagination.

KeiZka5984d ago

Very mature. Howabout you quit these lousy jokes, hmm?

wiizy5984d ago

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.

Tross1514d ago (Edited 1514d 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.

AK911514d ago

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

Nerdmaster1514d 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

2pacalypsenow1914d ago

Hell yeah it is.

That tyrant on the plane bit is a pain.

ButchKween1914d 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

2pacalypsenow1914d ago

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

IRetrouk1914d 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
