You've gotta admire it ... this thing is a
gun. A real sawed-off shotgun feel to it, isn't there? As you might expect, such a beast of firepower is not a first-party product, but nevertheless, it's the first Zapper-like Wiimote attachment to hit shelves come June 27th. Not just any shelves, mind you ... it's a Gamestop exclusive.
An interesting note is the
Nintendo Duck Hunt comment. We've seen
ESRB confirmation of the NES classic, but as of yet, there has been absolutely no additional functionality in any
Virtual Console game thus far. Hmmm ... it's enough to get those rumor-wheels a-spinnin' ....

I'm sure including Duck Hunt was just a stab in the dark and an attempt to boost sales. I'm not sure what the plastic bits are on top, and it doesn't seem to have any way to pull the B trigger from underneath the handhold. That makes this a useless piece of junk plastic like the Wii Sports add-ons in my eyes... I mean, you'd have to hold it with two hands just to get to the remote buttons.

Where have you guys been? A new version of Duck Hunt has been on Wii preorder lists at most online stores for months now.

That's not Nintendo Duck Hunt. That's a port of a PC Duck Hunting game.

What I don't get is how they can get off and say that this works with Resident Evil 4, as far as I can see the nunchuck is stuck in the handle so how can you use it to play?

Question re: the nunchuck in RE4 -- do you use the tilt sensor on the 'chuck for anything, or just the analog stick and buttons? I think it looks like you can access all the buttons/sticks/pads while your controllers are encased in this housing, so I think you'd just have to have your thumb where the hammer on a real gun would be, and use that to walk around.
I think this would rock for CoD (if they hadn't crippled the game by removing online play).

It looks like a nice accessory for a more authentic House of the Dead 3 experience.
