DIY Wii Zapper exemplifies tawdry, gets the job done

Oh sure, we've seen homegrown Wii Zappers before, but nothing screams janky like an iteration crafted from spare plastic acrylate sheets, or better yet, your recently finished box of Corn Flakes. That's right kids, you can save yourself quite a few buckaroos by simply swallowing your pride, heading down to the read link and printing out a template to create your very own Wii Zapper accessory. 'Course, the sky's really the limit with this one, but may we be the first to ask that you not use colorful sheets of cardboard if at all possible? Thanks.

Mod brought to you by Kellogg's.

As a Kellogg employee and gadget geek, I can say that there is an odd sense of pride at seeing this marriage of work and play. Anyone working on a guitar hero mod with Snap, Crackle and Pop lining the fretboard??

mmmmm corn flakes!!!

[Paul @ Jan 29th 2008 2:47AM]

it doesn't come with links crossbow training though, which makes the $15 more than worth it.

You'd' think this was an opportunity to apply the fingerpaint lessons too, schools these days eh.. they just don't give the complete package.

Oh no! Nobody can be that cheap...
hum, maybe Al Bundy, but he won't have Corn Flakes on his home...

Duh...what's a Wii Zapper?

Looks like a Wii Wrapper.

[CanCar @ Jan 29th 2008 9:38AM]

Yeah... Wii Zapper is a control with gun form and this control you will use in shooter games, for example.

[Wwhat @ Jan 29th 2008 9:19AM]

An emulation of a handgun obviously, or should I say phaser?

[macona @ Jan 29th 2008 4:28PM]

Ahh.. A gun... Here I though a Wii Zapper was when you peed on a electric fence.
