Wii’s nunchuk is great, but light sabers aren’t needed

NewsFactor Network reports that the Wii is going to have more attachments like one called the nunchuk, obviously named after that famous weapon from Japan.
The remote control for Nintendo’s Wii game console, and the add-on attachment known as the Nunchuk, are having their first offspring. It is named the Wii Zapper. On Monday, the games company announced that the Zapper will launch on November 19, bundled with Link’s Crossbow Adventure for $19.99.
Both controllers — the Wii controller, or Wiimote, and the Nunchuk — will be combined into one housing to create the Zapper. The Nunchuk, initially demonstrated at the 2005 Tokyo Game show, was the first attachment that Nintendo released for the Wiimote.
The Zapper connects to the Wiimote by a long cord, has an analog stick like the Nintendo GameCube controller’s, and sports two buttons. The Zapper has a “classic style reminiscent of arcade-style games,” Nintendo’s senior vice president of marketing George Harrison said in a statement.
On the other hand, I think we could just as well do without the upcoming Star Wars light sabers. Hot Air’s Bryan may be looking forward to them, but I’d say that something else would be more recommended to wait for.
