Written by Rivithed

Thursday, 05 April 2007

Another GameStop listing confirms yet another un-announced peripheral. GameStop has listed the "Wii Blaster" for $19.99 on it's web site. The Wii Blaster is marked as "coming soon" with an anticipated release date of 5.1.07. The Wii Blaster was shown at last year's E3 (as "Zapper style") and holsters the Wii Remote. See more here at Joystiq.

What is so hard about making a plastic levering mechanism that lets you hit the B button from a trigger near the handle, where a trigger is supposed to be?

The Zapper, Blaster, and SharpShooter all suck because they make you tap a button at the end of the gun, the most sensitive part for aiming.

The Wii's target field is so small the B button being located on the end makes games frustrating to play (they're playable, just not as fun as expected).

me wants one

This perif, is the only thing keeping me from getting a Wii. I've been waiting for Umbrella Chronicles, which looks amazing. However, I simply can't stand using the wiimote as a gun. You don't even hold it the same way. it was this one experence that killed Red Steel for me.
