Wii Zapper is a $1.50 piece of plastic that Nintendo sells to Wiitards who then can't stop talking about how fucking amazing it is.

Guardian would you hurry up and get banned already?

the problem with the blaster is the position of the b trigger, which would be used for "fire" by most games, yet it's not where the trigger of a gun would be.

I imagine all those light guns are just plastic shells, so how do they work? do they just physically press the B button? Would it be that much work to make something that actually plugs into the wiimote and has more than one button?

The reticle is there for people with differently-sized TVs.  Optimally, a shooter should have screen size calibration and no reticle.  And I've spent my share of quarters on Area 51, Police Trainer, etc., so quit the patronizing, OK?  I would still like to see a better gun accessory than the Zapper just for the feel, but the naked remote works pretty damn well.

 English is such an imprecise language. What's so amazing, Nintendo or the Wii Zapper?

it's not a light gun game if there is a cursor on screen, I mean the whole point of a light gun game is that you physically aim at the target and shoot just as you would with a real gun.

 Lot of them just have some (not so) fancy merchansims that use the trigger to press the B button. The Wii Blaster's button placement did through me off as well, espeically since I wanted to hold the Nunchuck in my right hand sicne that's how I'd hole a rifle, but I normally hold the remote in my Right hand, so I had to switch.

Took a pretty good while to adjust, but afterwards it's pretty good. Rumble feels very nice in the Wii Blaster shell 
since you hold it in both hands, like the Guitar Hero Guitar.
