Penguin Debuting Dedicated Wii Zapper at E3
Whether you prefer the double handed grip of the original Nintendo zapper, the more realistic gun style of Nyko’s Perfect shot or some other Wiimote add-on designed to simulate the lightgun experience, they all have something in common; they’re all just analog devices that utilize simple mechanics to depress the buttons. Unfortunately most zapper controls only utilize a trigger mechanism, leaving the rest of the buttons and the directional pad on top of the zapper. Unfortunately games like Red Steel 2 and the Conduit are going to be utilizing both the wiimote and the nunchuck, meaning that manipulating all the controls could be difficult and cumbersome.
Penguin is creating a new peripheral for the console that hopes to correct this issue, the CrossFire Remote Pistol. It’ll be a smaller, more compact device with the A, B and D-pad buttons are all repositioned for easier access. Of course the B button is located in the trigger position, with the A and D-pad buttons located right next to the thumb. It also features enhanced vibration function and more powerful speakers. Of course since it’s simply just a modified Wiimote with the same buttons it’ll function with normal games. The new peripheral is set to be debuted at E3.
