New Wii gun accessory goes two piece
Everybody wants to get into the act ... at least when it comes to turning the Wii remote into a gun. First it was the Joytech Sharp Shooter then Core Gamer's Wii Blaster, and, of course, Nintendo's own soon-to-be-released Wii Zapper.
Well, get ready to add another competitor to the list. Brando's 2-in-1Combined Light Gun has a leg up on rivals in its ability to be used as a pistol-like remote holder or a bazooka-style combination for the remote and Nunchuk together. The $18 accessory is sure to increase the ire of some people who think holding a plastic video game controller will turn our children into cold-blooded killers, but more sensible gamers should enjoy it.
With all these gun-like designs being bandied about, we can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the original Wii Zapper prototype shown at E3 2006. It had an economy of design that hasn't been matched by any of these bloated, white plastic accessories. R.I.P., little prototype.
