Official Wii Zapper now available

Third party manufacturers have already jumped the gun (pun intended) when they launched their own Wii Light Gun accessory. Nintendo certainly took their time, and used the slimmed down E3 event to unveil the Wii Zapper. The Wii Zapper does not only hold the Wiimote, but there is also a cradle that holds the Nunchuk controller as well. In all probability, the controls are set up in such a way where the Wiimote is used to zap stuff on the screen while the Nunchuck is used to manipulate the camera. The Wii Zapper will be released later this year along with a new title, taking the route of Wii Play that features an additional controller. It will retail for $20 a pop.
