NINTENDO'S NEW WII ZAPPER TARGETS FUN

First Wii Game-Play Accessory Comes Packaged with Zelda Software

REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 10, 2007 - Nintendo announced today that the Wii Zapper™ interface for the hit Wii™ home video game system will come packed with Link's Crossbow Training™. The software is based on the hugely popular Legend of Zelda® series and provides a perfect demonstration of the way the Wii Zapper could be used in other games. The Wii Zapper casing houses both the motion-sensitive Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers in a single unit for precision targeting. It goes on sale Nov. 19 at an MSRP of just $19.99.

"The Wii Zapper combines our remarkable controllers into one housing with a classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Both veteran and first-time players will find it brings a whole new dimension to games where targeting is key and provides even more exciting game-play experiences."

Link's Crossbow Training drops players into a world in the style of The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies.

Third-party publishers have lined up to support the Wii Zapper. EA's Medal of Honor Heroes™ 2 lets players take World War II into their hands with the Wii Zapper. The game features an all-new Wii-exclusive Arcade Mode that offers accessibility to gamers of all skill levels, a full single-player campaign and support for up to 32 players in multiplayer. Capcom's Resident Evil®: The Umbrella Chronicles reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3, as well as new never-before-seen locations like Umbrella's stronghold. One or two players use the Wii Zapper to take aim against a horde of zombies in first-person perspective. SEGA's Ghost Squad™ lets players replicate the arcade light-gun experience at home with the Wii Zapper.

And so it begins. The spin-offs of the Zelda series that will milk it dry (not including the ones that were released in Japan already). . .

Great news about the Wii Zapper though (although I was never really interested anyways).

I'm looking forward to the future Zelda Party and Zelda Kart games now...

Dude, it is just a litte extra as a suprise.
No reason to start shouting: "Wolves!".

There never really has Zelda been spinned-off to this pitiful level. Yes FS and FSA were short novelties more than anything else, but this is complete crap. It will probably be the starting point for milking Zelda badly...
 
Did you ever think, you know, maybe it's just a game to help get used to the Zapper?

In exactly the same way WiiPlay was released bundled with a controller? ¬¬

In that case they could've used something that didn't involve Zelda in anyway. Either way I don't want to see the Zelda name being degraged into something stupid.
 
I think Jack Thompson is going to go nut-so over this game: thinking it's teaching kids how to use a deadly weapon. :-p

I personally don't care, I just wish they added that recoil rumble to the Zapper..

Great job judging a game based on nothing more than a name. You should be commended for that.

It's obviously going to be a gimmick game. And no "smart-one" I didn't base my conclusion solely on name alone, there's also a huge article explaining what the concept is.
 
They could have just put the game on the Shop Channel.

At least there it wouldn't be considered a spinoff, and if it was crap, you wouldn't be wasting too much of anything.
 
when has zelda ever been bad?

and dont you dare post that CDi shit.
 
the CD-i shit shouldn't count regardless. Nintendo had absolutely no direct involvement in them... they were just an accident that arose when Nintendo canceled their plans for a CD system but Phillips was still left with the license. In other words, from what I understand, those games were all just an attempt by Phillips to take advantage of a legal mishap and cash in on popular franchises.
 
Seriously, though. You can't decide a game's bad based on three sentances describing it. I don't see how they could go wrong, since it's basically just a free game. I'm more concerned about the likelihood of more spinoffs being released than about this one in particular.

Tingle Tingle Kooloo Limpah?

Yes, if the option to shoot Tingle and his red balloon isn't in there, there is only one word to describe what I will feel. Disappointment.
