I was hoping for hard drive support, better online gaming capabilities, media streaming, or something... anything... sheesh. They had better have something more up their sleeve, or nintendo will be the joke of E3.

I love my wii, but come on...]]>Jul 11th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/Jul 12th 2007 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/Media streaming on your Wii?

It's ALREADY here - just use ORB - stream music, TV, video etc from a PC to yer Wii - super simple!!!

1- Nintendo launch a new gadget (for a price)
2- Nintendo launch a game (or a couple of games) for this new gadget.
3- Then nintendo will not launch any more games that support this gadget.
4- Nintendo launch another new gadget (and you must paid again).

The important thing is to have the hardware controller to develop on as soon as possible.]]>Jul 11th 2007 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/Jul 11th 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/Jul 11th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/
Where's the cheering?

As for the Wii Zapper (I was hoping for a type of force feedback addon when I heard the name), I think this is a great solution as opposed to a completely separate gun controller. Sure you can't access the Wiimote buttons easily, but how many light guns have more than even one button? This one has easy access to 2 buttons and an analog stick, plus the Wiimote top side buttons within reach (which could be handy for things like weapons switch, firing mode, etc)

Seems like it could be the best light gun yet, as long as you don't look at it :P]]>Jul 11th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-announced/so only certain games will be able to use it, either this, or gesture based numchuck contolls, not both,

The reason for this is Is so that the A and B buttons can be accessible trough the Zapper by using the port on the Wii controller.
