Forums - Nintendo - Patent Shows Off Wii U Zapper

Regardless of the general positivity here, I have to say that it still looks clunky, heavy, and unfun. The concept of having a second screen before you could be pretty cool in practice, but the implementation here is pretty far away from the sort of thing I think I'd frequently use in my livingroom. It appears to be far too much of a faff for me to care about.

I could be wrong, though. In practice, it could be awesome. I'm willing to wait until its in my own hands before I pass judgement. But, looking at it there, it really does look a bit cumbersome and likely to give you a fair bit of armstrain with prolonged play.

That actually looks really cool. The only problem I have with these gun peripherals is that they're only suited to one or two types of gun, in this case an assault rifle or SMG, and shooters have a wide variety of weapons.



That just looks silly and you all know it.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Another worthless peripheral like the Wii Wheel, Zapper, Balance Board, and Nunchuck.

Almost every peripheral looks silly.

I think what was meant was: 'That just looks silly, even for a games peripheral, and you all know it.' I.e.: it looks even dafter and sillier than the normal slew of gaming tat that we get thrown at us in the hope that something sticks. And I pretty much agree with that. Just look at the thing! It appears to be a cumbersome nightmare.

Still, in practice, it may work. I'll keep an open mind. I'm going to need a lot of convincing, though. That thing is no Balance Board.



Look very fun

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

And they will release no more than 3 titles that make use of the zapper.



WTF is that? Wow that is ugly!!
