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.
