Nintendo Wii Fanboy

No, I don't have one unfortunately. I wouldn't mine having one, but I just don't have many games to use it for, and I don't I will in the future. It looks sweet though, I may get it for my friend for Christmas. I think it's be a cool thing for a friend to have, that way you could just go to their house to play it if you'd ever want to.

But yeah, now that I think about it, Zappers would be good Christmas gifts for your friends who have a Wii. Only $20, and it comes with a game.

I'm hoping to get one Christmas morning along with Heroes and Ghost Squad.

I bought a Zapper. I don't like the design, nor do I like that way I have to hold it. It hurts my wrist. If I hold it aiming straight to the television (like I would with a real crossbow) the cursor is nowhere to be found no matter how much I try to adjust it. So I have to hold almost like I was shooting from my hip. I don't currently have any games that would use the Zapper except Link's Crossbow Training. When Christmas is over and done with I am sure I'll be looking forward to buying BWii and RE: UC.

Who can afford to buy new games every week, seriously?

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. Mostly online.

If I can I'll sneak in some Rabbids 2.

I got the Zapper™ and find it to be extremely awesome. Link's Training is great, but short. I'm very excited to play RE:UC. Right now, I'm spending alot of hours with Galaxy. 88 stars so far...

I've had the best weekend! I've had so much fun, and we have definitely been rocking the zapper when appropriate. We have been playing smarty pants, super mario galaxy, link's crossbow training, and resident evil umbrella chronicles inbetween bouts of watching the 'director's cut' of the beatles anthology, sitting about, and eating food and cake. Lovely! But I have been holding the zapper a lot of the time that I wasn't playing a video game, ha ha I really like the feel of it and it makes me feel cool ha ha. I don't know if everyone likes the Zapper, and I can see how some people prefer the control of their wrists, but I am in love with pointing that damn thing at stuff and it is well worth it to me. I put 20 points on my wii shop channel bringing me up to 26: I'm getting 'Yoshi's Story,' (a longtime fav of my gf) 'Super Metroid' and 'Super Mario World.' In two weeks: 'Donkey Kong Country 2' and a 2nd classic controller! Co-op baby! I want to check out Mario and Sonic and Soul Calibur Legends too, diggin this multiplayer stuff. My gf and I love it.

The Zapper? Hell no.

I played through ghost squad's arcade mode 3 times unlocking things. its fun when u get new guns and keeps it fresh, but u kind've have to go it in short bursts. links xbow training more or less sucks... its like a showoff demo hat gets old immediately, and going back to get gold medals is pointless. im waiting for UC to get shipped to maximize my zapper time, and also waiting for sonic/mario olympics.

Love the Zapper! I really like the way it feels in your hands. I think the people who are complaining about the way it feels may be trying to hold it like a light gun, you know, in front of the eyes, but it's not meant to be held like that. Try holding it down and slightly toward whichever hand you favor, like the way Rambo holds a machine gun. It feels very good, and I find that my hand is steadier on the shooting games than not using it at all.

So far I only have 2 games for it. Links Xbow Training, which is a surprisingly robust game for the cost, and I've sinked a couple hours into it, I really like striving to get platinum medals on all the challenges, and the Ranger levels are the closest youre ever going to get to a FPS staring link, it kinda reminded me of RE4 the way the shooting worked.

Then there is Ghost Squad. I never played this much in the arcades, but man it's a blast. The game is short, but the replay value is very high and I love the party mode, me and two family members played it at length today. We had a great time with it. Every time we finished it, Jake (my ten year old Brother) wanted to play through it again and take a different route.

I have Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles on hold, but I haven't picked it up yet. I'm really looking forward to that one as well!
