Nintendo Wii Zapper Reviews

So the Wii Zapper is one of the many, many peripherals you can purchase to enhance your experience of the great Nintendo Wii. The particular version I got contained the rather nifty Zelda game, 'Link's Crossbow Training', which I'll come to in a bit. The Zapper itself for those that don't know, is a 'gun' accessory (although it could be ...  Read the complete review

I must say that the wii is not my favourite console for many reasons, but chiefly due to the catalogue of games there are out there does not really suit my tastes and many of the decent games play better on the more powerful consoles on the market. However with the wii having a pretty much established 'light gun' controller I ...  Read the complete review

The Wii Zapper is Nintendos answer to the age old question of how to play shoot em up games on its popular wii console. Available for £9.99 on Amazon or cheaper on some other retailers it allows you to easily place your nunchuck and wii controller within it and aim at the screen shooting baddies, goodies, whomever your heart ...  Read the complete review

Most of the Wii games have their own accessories - all the fitness games will be able to use the Wii Balance Board, the driving games with be able to use the steering wheel, boxing games will be able to use the nunchuck and shooting games can use the Nintendo Wii Zapper. We got the Wii Zapper free with the House Of The Dead 3 ...  Read the complete review

Time to zap everything in sight! If you use a Nintendo Wii (we have one in our house) then you might well have one of these. They do not come with the Wii when you buy the Wii initially, so you need to buy this as an extra. Ours was somewhere around the fifteen pound mark, which I think is a pretty good price for the toy. You ...  Read the complete review

I bought a wii zapper a couple of years back as it came with a game I wanted - Link's Crossbow Training. The zapper is a light plastic gun which holds both Wii controllers (the wii remote and nunchuk) and adds an element of realness to shooting games. Whilst not an essential buy, it does provide a more arcade-type feel for shooting games ...  Read the complete review

This Wii gun is one of the better models that are on the market. Insert your wii remote and you're good to go, as well as this, the nunchuk is very easy to use. The actual look of it is fairly poor, it looks quite cheap, but this is perhaps reflected in the price, where they can be picked up for under ten pounds. As nintendo ...  Read the complete review

The Nintendo Wii is an interesting concept that sadly over the past few years has moved away from traditional gaming formats into family orientated (so Wii say) home exercising games/ products. It obviously makes money for Nintendo that way, but has let gamers down by doing so. Its been quite some time since anything that was ...  Read the complete review

As I mentioned in a previous review, i'm really enjoying my Wii and the revitalised lightgun genre of games at the moment and this is thanks in no small part part to the Wii Zapper. Unlike the 'Zapper' lightgun which was also released by Nintendo for its NES console back in the 1980s this isn't a controller in itself but rather a housing ...  Read the complete review

The Nintendo Wii Zapper is the most popular light gun for the Nintendo Wii, and only because its official. First up, it doesn't look or feel anything like an actualy gun, which cannot be said of its competitition - Models like the Nyko Perfect Shot Logic3 and Bigben actually resemble guns, but this just looks like some kind of weird ...  Read the complete review

The driving games have their driving wheel accessory, the fitness games have their training boards and now the shoot em ups have their accessory! May seem like just another gimmicky add on that is just made by Nintendo to bring in even more money but this one can actually enhance your playing experience! I never found the Wii ...  Read the complete review

The nintendo wii zapper came as a "freebie" when we bought the Legend of Zelda game and is another "added fun" accessory from nintendo for the wii. The zapper is very easy to use but you do need to have a nunchuck as well as the controller to be able to use this. The remote fits into the end of the ...  Read the complete review

Nintendo are just the top dogs when it comes to gaming innovation. It is not just the new fresh ideas that they come up with but also the mass appeal most products have on not just gaming fans but casual players too. The Wee Zapper is a perfect example of this and is just so simple it is brilliant. When I first bought the ...  Read the complete review

The 'Wii Zapper' is an attachment which houses the Wii remote and transforms it into a Crossbow style peripheral. The Zapper isn't an essential device for playing shooting games on the Wii, as you can use the Wiimote without it in just as an effective manner. The main aim of the product is to add realism and fun to the shooting genre, ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the Nintendo Wii and love getting new, different games for it so was quite excited when I got a Wii Zapper to play certain games with. I actually bought the game Link's Crossbow Training and got a zapper with the game which was great and a really good bargain and I'm glad I did because it's a fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Since the launch of the Wii promised a new way of interacting with games, I was unbelivably excited after hearing Nintendo would be launching their own gun-like peripheral. However the reality of how useful it is is absolutely dire. The Wii Zapper is a essentially a plastic casing for your Wii Remote and Nunchuck and comes ...  Read the complete review

There are a few gun holders for the Wii (I call them holders because the Zapper only holds the Wiimote rather than being a self-contained controller like you find for other platforms). And of all the choices the Wii Zapper is definitely the oddest looking. It reminds me more of something out of a Space 1999 episode than anything ...  Read the complete review

This game is amazing, and its like getting a free gun for the price aswell. The Zapper is also compatible with Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, EA's Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 and SEGA's Ghost Squad - is essentially a plastic housing that will turn your Wii Remote into a lightgun, complete with a housing for the Nunchuck to ...  Read the complete review

The nintendo Wii zapper comes with the Links training and you can get it in the region of £20. This zapper makes it so much easier to actually shoot at the target using the wii remote and the wii nun chuck. Unfortunately it took a while longer but they finally released the zapper to purchase it on its own so it enables you to ...  Read the complete review
