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.

the first zelda spin-off ever :o (i think), but it would be sweet to shoot arrows with the wii zapper
 
Well, what do you expect? It's free. :lol The gun would be $20 without any software; they are just trying to show it off a little. :)

I know, and it is better than nothing, I suppose.

I kinda wish they left Zelda out of this one, though. It really doesn't need a spin-off like this. :-\

I still wanna see a new Duck Hunt game come out for the Wii, (and no i'm not joking) but I guess this is the closest thing to it.

Nintendo does good tech demos though. Their E3 tech demos for the DS were engaging and fun.

Conversely, I rememberbeing unimpressed with the PSP tech demos. They showed FFVII: Advent Children trailers on it, in an environment where you COULDN'T HEAR THE V/O, and teased Mai with a Tales of Eternia demo and then never brought the game stateside. Mean Sony.
 
One of my favorite things about Twilight Princess was how easy the Wii-mote made it to shoot accurately with the bow, so I'm sure I will enjoy Link's Crossbow Training. And as I mentioned earlier, even if I don't, I will still be using the Zapper for other games, most notably Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. :)

On a :lol note, I just noticed that I spelled crossbow wrong in my original post. Crossbrow! ROTFL.

To be fair to Sony, I think Tales of Eternia not coming over here is Namco Bandai's fault, not Sony's.
