The Wii U Zapper costs like 20 bucks with a game.  I don't see why Nintendo's Wii U zapper would be any more expensive than that.  It doesn't have any sort of added functionality, except for some simple mechanism to keep the Wii U gamepad in place.  It's essentially just a plastic shell.

Doesn't this one have built-in controls and motion sensing though? I can't see the Wiimote+nunchuck on the images. Add the fat gamepad to it and you have one ugly, cumbersome, expensive lightgun. 

The GamePad has tilt and gyro sensors built into it already, so yeah, this version of the Zapper would pretty much just be a shell.
