Kalashnikov AK-47 Converted into Wiimote



Now you can convert your very own AK-47 and feel like a Soviet soldier while killing crazy bunnies and Zelda goblins. It may not be as cool as firing a bazooka in a 360-degree environment, but it definitely beats the Nintendo Wii Zapper. We talked with its creator about all the details: More »

Wii Zapper Hands On (Verdict: Shoot From the Hip)

Nintendo's gun peripheral has a slot for your Wiimote, and comes with Link's Crossbow training. It's no duck hunt, but it's really fun. The Good: High build quality, battery-less design, fairly accurate, Tommy-gun design of the Wii Zapper makes me feel like Wii Capone. Inexpensive, since it doesn't introduce electrics, depending on the Wiimote's exisiting buttons. Fun would be an understatement. More »

Parents Think Wii Zapper Might As Well Come With an NRA Application

NJ.com, your source for "everything Jersey" asked people what they thought of the "gun-like" Wii Zapper in their weekly Question of the, um, Week segment. The responses poured in and they were extremely negative. The catch, though, is that the site had originally posted a picture of a gun other than the Wii Zapper, which let's face it, looks more Star Trek than NRA. Check the outrage after the jump. More »

Hands-on Wii Zapper Assembly Video

Ashcraft and Crecente from Kotaku got a hands-on demonstration with the Wii Zapper. The video shows how you put the thing together—a combination of the Nunchuck and the Wiimote—but it also shows Ashcraft demonstrationg his acting chops. The Zapper is actually kind of uncomfortable, seeing as the two grips that you put your hands on are a bit close. It's like holding a Tommy gun, except possibly even more awkward. What's also weird is that the trigger was in the front, and not the back as you'd expect. [Kotaku]

Wii Zapper Coming May 1st

Nintendo is bringing its Zapper days back. The folks at Gamestop have just added the Wii Blaster to their Wii arsenal, claiming it'll ship on the 1st of May for $20. Couple it with a few Virtual Console games like Hogan's Alley, Gumshoe, or Duck Hunt and it's 8-bit nirvana all over again. Now all I have to do is, er, find a Wii. – Louis Ramirez More »
