(Review) - Nintendo's success with Wii thus far has been amazing, especially considering its underdog status and a stigma that was attached to it before Wii. However, the company has recouped that image, stuck with its brand and its meaning, and gained a lot of respect from consumers. And for right reasons. The Wii is a super product that deserves praise. Not to mention, Nintendo is insanely innovative to release appropriate accessories that just make sense, one of which is the newly announced Zapper.

Zapper is a hollow shell for the Wii controllers that, once integrated, works to transform the simple controller into an interesting looking gun. Or at least that's the premise behind it. While Zapper matches well with the controller and the rest of the system, it's not quite gun-like. Allow us to explain. Although the structure is relatively realistic, the round edges and oversized controls don't have an emotional impact with First Person Shooter games. That's fine, though.

Integrating the two pieces was very straightforward. Once you slide in the controller and lock it in place, Zapper is all set to go for a more realistic experience. It's lightweight, and makes playing with it a breeze. It's designed to not interrupt the signal between the controller and the receiving unit, which keeps the signal strong despite the new attachment.

As it's apparent, there's nothing particularly exciting about Zapper other than it's realistic approach to action gaming. However, it does come with Link's Crossbow Training, a mini Zelda-themed game to help you practice with the Zapper. Did we mention the game is included in the package and is priced for in the final price? And surprisingly enough, the game is very good for all intents and purposes. Not only is it good to get your Zapper workout on, but it's interesting enough to play even when you are a Zapper pro. There are nine levels in total with three different stages to help you move, move, move. It's simple, it's fun and it's enjoyable. What more could we ask for?

All in all, Nintendo's Zapper is a great looking product that works as expected and comes with an interesting little game to keep you occupied for a fun-filled evening. All of this for only $20.00; you have no reason not to purchase it.
