PRESS RELEASE: Nintendo's New Wii Zapper Targets Fun
First Wii Game-Play Accessory Comes Packaged with Zelda Software
Nintendo announced today that the Wii Zapper(TM) interface for the hit Wii(TM) home video game system will come packed with Link's Crossbow Training(TM). The software is based on the hugely popular Legend of Zelda(R) series and provides a perfect demonstrationof the way the Wii Zapper could be used in other games. The Wii Zapper casing houses both the motion-sensitive Wii Remote(TM) and Nunchuk(TM) controllers in a single unit for precision targeting. It goes on sale Nov. 19 at an MSRP of just $19.99.
"The Wii Zapper combines our remarkable controllers into one housing with a classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Both veteran and first-time players will find it brings a whole new dimension to games where targeting is key and provides even more exciting game-play experiences."
Link's Crossbow Training drops players into a world in the style of The
Legend of Zelda(R): Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies.
Third-party publishers have lined up to support the Wii Zapper. EA's Medal of Honor Heroes(TM) 2 lets players take World War II into their hands with the Wii Zapper. The game features an all-new Wii-exclusive Arcade Mode that offers accessibility to gamers of all skill levels, a full single-player campaign and support for up to 32 players in multiplayer. Capcom's Resident Evil(R): The Umbrella Chronicles reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3, as well as new never-before-seen locations like Umbrella's stronghold. One or two players use the Wii Zapper to take aim against a horde of zombies in first-person perspective. SEGA's Ghost Squad(TM) lets players replicate the arcade light-gun experience at home with the Wii Zapper.
