We felt extra motivated to throw this Zapper clone up here after seeing some of you complain in our Ninja Reflex post that we never talk about the boxart that we actually like. Well, here's an awesome packshot for you from Pebble Entertainment. Accessory manufacturers take note -- this is how you should be designing your boxes. Wacky packaging with kooky bulleted lists and random video game characters dropped in aren't going to sell your product. It's all in the presentation (and, uh, quality and price)!
You probably already guessed this from the watermark, but import shop Play Asia has these Wii remote shells available for preorder for $19.90. As far as we can tell, the only advantages it has over Nintendo's official Zapper are its badass box and magazine-molded handle.

Glad to see you dig deep for those boxarts. I guess the right answer to the "What box art does Nintendo Wii Fanboy ever like?" question is "Quirky, odd, Japanese boxarts" ;)
Just to show you where I sit though, the only one that semi-interests me is the No More Hereos box, and that GUN box SCREAMS cheap 3rd party accessory to me. I see that and I'm frantically looking for the Nintendo logo on their official shell.

Aye, it would be media hell if this came out in America
But those nuts in the NRA would eat it up, just because of the name
