Wii Zapper

"[1] A staff member of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's development team later created a makeshift gun-like frame using rubber bands and wires, which held the Wii Remote and Nunchuk together.

The Wii Zapper underwent an extensive development period involving many design phases, including one that produced a rumble whenever the player hit a target.

A "Zapper" prototype was shown at E3 2006 featuring a shotgun-like design with a "trigger hole", as well as an analog stick built into the top of the handle.

[5] Third-party titles designed to support the Wii Zapper include Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2,[6] The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, The House of the Dead: Overkill, Call of Duty: World at War, Wild West Guns, Quantum of Solace, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition, Dead Space: Extraction, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Heavy Fire: Special Operations, Heavy Fire: Black Arms, Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack, Gunblade NY (with its sequel L.A. Machineguns: Rage of the Machines included), Target: Terror, GoldenEye 007, Brothers in Arms: Double Time and Call of Duty: Black Ops, while Nintendo has supported it with the first-party WiiWare game, Eco Shooter: Plant 530, as well as with Sin and Punishment: Star Successor.

The Wii Zapper was first released in Japan on October 25, 2007, as a pack-in with Ghost Squad, with standalone units also made available for purchase on Nintendo's Japanese online store.

The first of these appeared in early April 2007, when video game retailer GameStop listed a "Wii Blaster" peripheral on its website, with a release date of May 1, 2007.

[12] Nyko also released the Pistol Grip, a gun shell of similar design but only compatible with their Wand Wii Remote alternative, due to its digital inputs using their proprietary expansion port.

To coincide with the release of the Nerf N-Strike video game, an arcade-style light gun shooter, Hasbro released the N-Strike Switch Shot EX-3, a functional Nerf dart shooter that can be modified by removing the dart shooting mechanism and replacing it with a Wii Remote to allow it to be used as a light gun shell.

[14] A handcannon shell was also released in PAL regions with The House of the Dead: Overkill, modeled after the AMS pistols used by the main characters in the game.
