Link’s Crossbow Training + Wii Zapper / Eurogamer

“If you’d feel better playing gun games with a controller that’s more like a gun (as some players like to play golf games with a controller that’s ‘more like a golf club’, though we still think they’re mental) Link’s Crossbow Training is a nice little extra but, whatever you do, don’t pick up a Zapper just for the game - but with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead II & III, and Ghost Squad just around the corner, there are a few good reasons to pick it up anyway.”

A judgment on the Wii Zapper and Link’s Crossbow Training as a bundle. I quite like the Wii Zapper, stupid bit of plastic that it is, as it does just feel more like shooting a gun than using the Wii Remote on its own. Link’s Crossbow Training is a waste of a pack-in, though. I’d rather they’d just knocked $5 off the price.

Nintendo could get up off their arse and release Duck Hunt for the Virtual Console now, I think. I’m well aware it would require some pretty major new code to get it to work with the Wii Remote, but frankly, a brief glimpse of the ducks in Wii Play Shooting Range just isn’t good enough.
