Can be very well played w/o the zapper.

"considering it hasn't been super hyped"
you mean, after a dozens of video trailers, tons of articles/previews and such, not to mention we're talking about Resident Evil (RE4 did a million on the Wii)...

100 000 is good if true, but not exceptionnal given the install base.

 

Well, it can't, since "zapper" in this case means rail shooter. Considering the genre, the rumored sales were really good. I would have expected something between 30k to 50k max. RE4 did (have done) million on Wii (sold to retail), but not in Japan. In fact, this could outsell RE4 Wii edition WW by the end of the year. Although it have had a lot of trailers etc, it also have had a lot of anti-hype, mostly because of being shadowed by RE5. I would say UC is more like fan service for RE fans, not so much for people, who never have played a single RE. And about the "low" reviews, when have a rail shooter scored high? Anyway, it's better to wait for the offial numbers before saying anything more.

   No, no, no. bdbdbd, the light zapper, the gun Nintendo is releasing. RE:UC can be played with the zapper, yes, it's an option. But I still think just plain using the Wiimote will be best. I've highly enjoyed it so far.  I'm not too interested in the zapper at all. I am getting it next week though, simply because I want Link's Crossbow Training.  But, hey, maybe I'll like the zapper after all.
