Things to get in place before starting:

So far here at Digit Geek we’ve reviewed a number of game consoles like the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii and also a few accessories like the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit and Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. As of yet we have not reviewed anything for the Wii but that’s about the change.

The Wii Zapper is pretty much a light gun-ish bracket for the Wiimote and Nunchuck. Along with the the Zapper you also get Link’s Crossbow Training which has a number of mini missions and is enormously fun. My big complaint with the Wii Zapper is the fact that Nintendo pursued the tommy gun layout, which is the cause of every one of the Zapper’s problems.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the Wii Zapper:

• Street price: $19.99
• Plastic holder for Wiimote and Nunchuck
• Link’s Crossbow Training game
