Wii Blaster isn't Nintendo product
At the beginning of the month we were quite excited to see on Gamestop's website what we thought would be Nintendo's 21st century answer to the Zapper -- the Wii Blaster. Well, apparently GameSpot spent the last month hitting the refresh button on that page and discovered that the Wii Blaster is actually another third-party peripheral in the same vein as Joytech's Sharp Shooter. So, back to wanting, wishing, hoping and praying for our first-party Nintendo Zapper to come.
It looks like when Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley are finally unleashed on the Virtual Console we'll have to use a third-party gun to play them. That just sounds thoroughly unappealing. If Nintendo is coming out with a gun, it still hasn't popped up on our radar and there are plenty of Zapper and Super Scope titles it could be used on, which we expect to see on the VC sometime in the future.
