Being released on November 19 pre-orders for the Wii Zapper can be placed now!
The Wii Zapper is a gun peripheral that allows the user to insert a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, both sold separately, into either end and play a compatible game.
The control stick on the Nunchuk controls player movement (on stages that allow player movement), while aiming the Wii Zapper moves the targeting reticule on the screen.
The Zapper comes with Link's Crossbow Training, which helps to familiarize the player with the Zapper in a shooting gallery style game.
Link's Crossbow Training contains three game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger.
Features:
- Target Shooting: In target-shooting rounds, players shoot bull's-eyes as they pop up on the screen. In early stages, targets are stationary. As the game difficulty increases in later levels, the targets move. Hitting the center of the bull's-eye nets more points, and hitting targets in succession without missing earns combo multipliers. Link can aim anywhere on the screen.
- Defender: In defender rounds, players remain stationary but can look and aim in all directions by aiming off screen. Hordes of enemies assault Link, and he must fight them off. These battles have a great deal of variety, from fighting off skeletons in a desert to defending a wagon from boar-riding Bokoblins.
- Ranger: In ranger rounds, players can move throughout the level using the control stick and aim anywhere they want by aiming the Wii Zapper wherever they want to look. In these missions, Link storms enemy encampments, fights his way through a forest and seeks out his foes while exploring the environments.
- The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are sold separately
With the Wii Zapper, your game shooting experience is guaranteed to take on a whole other dimension.
Your Wii remote and Nunchuck fit snugly into the Zapper, still working as well as before, only now in a shape that, when simulating the use of a weapon such as a gun or bow, allows for a steadier hand that is much less likely to get tired.
Included with the Zapper is Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii, a clever and engaging shooting game set in the world of Twilight Princess that includes 27 different levels, several different game modes and multiplayer capability up to four people.

The Wii Availability gets shorter and shorter the nearer Christmas comes.
At least it is perceived by most people to be so - sold out stores, announcements of officials that the delivery of Wii consoles will be short, etc.
Where to buy Wii is the one and only question many gamers have.
It's true, the consoles are almost anreachable for people that are located in the wrong area so it really is an option to look around online.
While you could look for Wii Availability on several Wii tracking sites but not always the provided info which retailer actually has the consoles in stock is dependably.
Another option is to look for Wii on Ebay
You can find a lot of auctions for new or used Wiis. Of course you should always concentrate on new units that come together with a guarantee.
The downside is that prices are quite high - it all depends on how important it is for you to have your own console and if you are willing and able to pay maybe more than elsewhere.
In any case don't get into bidding wars.
Define exactly the maximum you want to pay before you enter an auction and stick to it.
Never raise your bid above that maximum amount.
To win an Ebay auction you always have to know the bidding system and how to place the bid just before the auction ends.
(If you are not familiar with how to bid the right way I have added a link at the end of this post that might be useful.)
So give it a try, take a look to Ebay and check out the prices for a day or two.
Add some soon ending Wii auctions to your favorites and check the winning bids.
At least you get a feeling for how much you will have to invest in average to get a Wii.
Again - you might pay more but Wii Availability is quite good at Ebay and you have a realistic chance to own your Wii very soon.
P.S.: If you know how to win an auction fine. If not, this Bidding Service can raise your chances significantly.
As announced by SEGA America Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been shipped to stores in North America.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games the developers managed to bring together the exciting possibilities of the interactive Wii system and the challenges of Olympic events.
Chances are that this will mean an ultimative face-off of two of the most famous gaming legends.
Without doupt Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will be an instant bestseller.
It is long awaited by many players and it will give a intense gaming experience by using the full potential of the Wii control system.
