well its official, nintendo announced this weekend at E3 that they are releasing the wii zapper. nintendo promises that this offspring of the wiimote and nunchuk is going to revolutionize the first person shooter experience... honestly, i hope this is true. since doom i have been a first person shooter fan, and have always had a soft spot for gun-con games like time crisis. in their E3 conference nintendo announced that they have 3 wii zapper games coming out this year. first is resident evil: the umbrella chronicles, next is sega's online ghost squad, and a secret nintendo release, which i'm hoping is a reenvisioning of duckhunt :D

i just found this zip on wiinintendo.net. some one made a flawless wiimote in 3D studio max. grab a copy and throw it into papervision3d!

as i have been checking out the new features of actionscript 3 and flex, i stumbled upon fwiidom.org. this site is run by joa ebert + thibault imbert, and their mission is full flash wiimote integration.

currently wiiflash supports multiple wiimotes and nunchuks, the classic controller, as well as pc sensor bars. all you need is a bluetooth enabled pc (or adaptor) and a wiimote.

the newest version is available from wiiflash or googlecode or you could get on the mailing list

i found this bad dude over at http://videogame.brando.com.hk. this one piece plastic wiimote attachement allows you to immerse yerself in first person shooter games. the gun also allows yew to use the nun-chuk, by plugging it into the butt of the gun. at $20, this might just be another fun wii peripheral!


here's another kewl lightgun mod for the wiimote. this one utilizes the nun-chuk a bit more, placing into the handle of the gun, for a double handed grip style. This ones is also from videogame.brando.com.hk , the difference is that is one is only $17.
