Nyko’s Wii Zapper Alternative Supposedly Awesome, but Worth $544.44?
Nyko is releasing a “zapper” of their own, and according to IGN it is better than Nintendo’s Wii Zapper. Nyko’s Perfect Shot is “Better than the Zapper in every respect. Trigger is tighter, more tactile. Easier to aim thanks to one-handed design”. Even though I haven’t had my hands on the Nyko Perfect Shot myself I would have to say that I would much rather play with a pistol than a shotgun like two-handed zapper. It is strange and unfortunate that Nintendo would be shown up by a 3rd party accessory maker. Especially when they already have the perfect design for a zapper.

I am very excited for this new product and will be getting one as soon as I can but must share my disappointment with Nintendo for not providing the best option. I have a feeling that this is going to be the must have accessory of the post holiday season. Apparently some idiot has already got a hold of one and promises that he can get it to someone before Christmas. The only problem is that they are asking a cool $544.44 for it.

The Nyko Perfect Shot does not costs 544.44. It costs 14.99.

We know it doesn’t actually cost $544.44, read the excerpt from the post below:

I prefer my Zapper to this. In Medal of Honor, i have my middle finger on the trigger to allow my hand to reach the directional pad and switch guns. It looks like that would be more difficult with this gun. I think the Zapper looks better too.
