I think most people are forgetting that Wiiware is just around the corner. Even if we don't see big budget games using this device, we will most definitely see Wiiware games using it. I'm thinking of picking it up just for LCT. I doubt I'll ever use it for anything else, but if there are some Wiiware games that use this control scheme then I will most likely use it for those as well.

ah yes, but what game will have you using the zapper while standing on the balance board... that way they can sell you even more **** you don't need... *sigh*

the guncon looks cooler anyways =p

I think you all completely wrong, topic starter. COMPLETELY wrong. Now...I dont think its the best thing nintendo has come up with or that it is a MUST have, but its a neat little toy. And another hunk of plastic? I have no Wii periphs. Just my Wiimotes. Just because there are tons of options on the market doesnt mean we buy them all.

I think it's pretty accurate to say that the Wii Zapper will do well at first but it will be forgotten by 2009. The only part I didn't agree with in Montana's post is that the Zapper will be discontinued. I betcha they will continue to make those with Link's Crossbow Training until Nintendo makes their next home console. Zelda games will always sell.

bit off topic but im so annoyed. zapper + zelda in Aus is $50! FFS!!!!!!! thats 2.5x US and our dollar is buying 90 *** cents

!!!

I actually think WiiWare is a perfect match for this device. Many of the people who get it aren't expecting top of the line games, so cheap downloads will do the trick for them if they know they exist and can get them.

Austrailians: If you want to buy things at the same cost as Americans, increase your country's population by tenfold.

That can shooting in Hogans Alley Rules though~

That soudns like an awesome Silver Surfer game.  Though really, you wouldn't need a Zapper there.  Eh there was that crappy Eureka 7 Anime with the flying surfboard mechs.

Really any FPS would be real interesting like that... Lean foward, or be on the foward part of the board to move foward, lean left adn right to make the screen lean left and right etc...  Movement via Balance board+Zapper could be the most realistic FPS expierence yet.

Though also be way harder then the noraml FPS.
