With the announcement of Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii, coupled with the still unreleased Virtual Console titles Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley, it's time to start asking, "Where's the Wii Zapper?" Gamestop has listed the Wii Blaster for $20 and what I strongly believe to be a placeholder date of May 1. Although, this isn't necessarily the most improbable date with the Resident Evil games expected to have a summer release.

The Gamestop listing has no photo of the what the Zapper Blaster looks like now. The last time someone saw her she was behind glass at E3 with a "work in progress" sign. I'm really looking forward to having a gun, these first-person shooters just don't feel natural with a Wiimote. Now give me a game that allows for dual wielding Blasters and that's a guaranteed 50 Euro going to that publisher!

I won't be calling this a blaster or any other simlilar name til it looks like one.

For now it's "Mechanism for the Wiimote to enable Gunlike Doohickyness" to me.

I think thats a cool idea. Though I guess it won't be as cool for some games like Metroid...

I'm sure they'll come up with something similar to the NES Zapper. This is just a WIP design from E3 2005.

I want it to look....cooler.
If they can make a flashgun game with duel wielding......I would buy it.

Thats just a prototype CM. They probably going to come out with like 3 types of guns for preference of users...

Or maybe something like the Super Scope.

Now all the Wii needs is a good FPS game.

Red Steel is decent, but it's not good.
Call of Duty 3 just sucks.

Metroid, need I say more?
