IGN has the first look at Nerf N-Strike, EA's Wii game that comes with a hybrid Zapper/Nerf dart gun. It's going to be marketed as a hybrid as well, apparently, being sold in both the Nerf and video game sections of retailers. We gawked at the awesome gun a few months back when it was first revealed, but this is the first info about the actual game.
As expected, N-Strike is a shooting game in which you use Nerf weapons in-game -- against Nerf-susceptible robots, as seen in the above screen. The guns apparently behave like real Nerf guns, which means that the projectiles move much more slowly than actual bullets.
The game also contains multiplayer modes, one of which sounds quite similar to a current EA favorite. In Blox, players shoot one dart at a time into a structure of cubes until one uncovers a target block. It's a shooting-game take on Boom Blox, and it sounds like a pretty clever tie-in to the other game.

Nerf-susceptible...robots. Bit redundant, yeah? Remind me not to leave the future of mankind in your hands, JC.

I'm really only intrested in the gun and was hoping they would keep it dirt cheap.
Atleast the game looks good enough for a higher price.
The main thing that interests me in the nerf wii gun is that not only does it shoot actual darts, but it has a traditional aiming sight.
Nyko's perfect shot has one on the back but nothing on the front to complete it. Making it rather useless and keeping me from purchasing it. As fun as the shape alone is and considering I could just file away at the center of the front piece and glue in my own aiming sight.
Just for the aiming sight alone do I consider buying this thing.
Its just such an annoyance to not be able to use the "no cursor" feature without a real aiming sight to use.
I can't wait to see this completed.

I wondered what happened to that gun shell/dart gun! Glad it's not dead, and it comes with a game.
