So it’s no secret that the Wii has been weak on top titles since it’s release. Always seems like everything worth getting excited about is also something we are expected to wait for. Don’t get me wrong some promising titles have come out, but the reviews always end up with a 6/10 or 7/10, which is tough to justify for $50. So with Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii coming out at the end of October, and the Wii Zapper coming out sometime after that probably, the Wii might get a much needed priming before Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are released in November and December. But these games with hardware add-ons are a bit risky for developers and even more so for consumers who are having to shell out the extra cash for the hardware that normally only works on the game it comes with. With the Wii Zapper slated to work with several titles, I would say it looks promising indeed. And who doesn’t want to shoot their television with a large gun?

Kotaku has posted the complete Nintendo press release on the Wii Zapper.
