I've been staring at that picture for 20 minutes now and I just can't figure out where you put the weed at.

edit: oh.. oh it's a gun kinda thing. damn, I was way off.

edit 2: it looks dumb.

Is it just me or does it look like the 007 logo a little? Perhaps a new Goldeneye? ;)

Wow it does... I noticed that right off. I thought it was just me. :p

I actually noticed it quicker. But I give you points for being ALMOST as fast and good as me.

I would rather buy a 3rd party Wii remote gun than this.

Why on earth did they put the analog control stick on the back of the gun?

So... you.... can... move...?

Seriously, all you are buying is the mold that holds your controller and nunchuck. It actually is a good idea at $19 this will allow younger players to get a Wii gun controller for cheap. I want a actual Wii gun. I can see this one losing its ability to secure the controllers by taking them out and putting them back in over time.

at least they named it appropriately. when you buy something called the "wii zapped," what are you really expecting?

What I meant was why put the analog stick on the back of that zapper? That placement seems like a bad spot for the stick. I'd rather just hold the analog stick in one hand and the zapper in the other. IMO putting the two together like that seems like a bad design choice.

You mean like this?

Worse crap ever! Seriously, its only a peice of plastic... its not a zapper because it does not but hold the Wiimote in its casing. Worse of all they try to pass off the cost of the thing at $20! Come on!

Zapping your wii will make you go blind. And God kills a kitty everytime you zap your wii.

THEN DON'T BUY IT! As a marketing tool it is brilliant. Might cost them 15 cents to make and it opens up the first person shooter market for them because 3rd parties will start making Wii guns.

I won't buy one but it is a good idea. I want a Wii gun that is only a gun. I don't want the fastners wiggling loose after a while.
