Here's a closer look at the Wii Zapper as modeled by the lovely Jason of Nintendo. In talking to people I notice they are of two camps when it comes to the Zapper, they either love it or hate it. The only game I really got to try it out on was Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and I'd have to say that once I got used to it I really liked it, but it was a bit awkward at first. I had played RE:UC at a capcom event in NYC before the advent of the Zapper with just the Wii-remote and the nunchuk and I found the Zapper configuration to be much tighter and more satisfying since you get more a sense of actually shooting something rather than pointing and clicking. So the Wii Zapper gets my thumbs up at least as far as Resident Evil goes, for the rest, we'll have to wait and see.
