The Wii Zapper is a plastic shell with a design reminiscent of a sub machine gun. The Wii Remote clips into the top of the shell, acting as the "barrel" of the gun. The Nunchuck clips into the shells rear handle, with the wire between the two controllers held securely in the body of the Zapper. A trigger built into the shell depresses the B button when squeezed, giving the Zapper its "trigger".

I've been seriously addicted to Link's Crossbow. Trying to build up huge scores and multipliers in competition with friends is great fun. I'd like to see a good full-fledged shooter make use of the Wii Zapper.

My brother got it for Christmas (from me of course) and it's a hit.

Does anyone have a general list of what games *would* be compatible with the Zapper? I know that Resident Evil 4 won't work due to the button config, for instance. I am really interested in getting both the Zapper and another of the lightguns made for the Wii but have hesitated due to the lack of such info on the net. :\
