This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Wii Gun Controller Holder
This white Wii Gun is a pistol-shaped holder for a Wii Remote. The photo shows the plastic accessory with grip, trigger and controller opening. The holder changes how you hold the remote; the Wii Remote itself handles wireless connection, button input and aiming. It is not a standalone light gun or an original Nintendo Wii Zapper. A Wii Remote, Nunchuk, console, sensor bar and games are not included.
A working Wii setup with sensor bar remains necessary for pointing. The holder adds no camera, MotionPlus sensor or wireless receiver. Use the game's calibration and controller settings. Some games use other buttons or a Nunchuk alongside the trigger. Those controls must remain accessible; the holder does not remove such requirements. An additional MotionPlus block or protective jacket does not automatically fit the remote's opening.
The five games below use the Wii Remote pointer for shooting. The holder merely provides a different grip, not new software features or guaranteed accuracy improvements. Keep the infrared camera on the remote's front unobstructed towards the sensor bar. Continue following Nintendo's and the game's safety guidance. A second simultaneous player needs a separate controller setup; this single holder does not double the number of controllers you own.
History
Wii introduced a remote in 2006 that made movement and pointing part of game controls. Shooting games could use a pointer without the older NES Zapper's CRT technology. Sensor bar and Wii Remote formed the system's basis. Plastic holders built on those controls by putting the same controller into a different grip. Game software continued reading the Wii Remote, not a new electronic device in the holder.
Nintendo released the official Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training in Europe on 7 December 2007. It combined a Wii Remote and Nunchuk in one holder, demonstrating a different hand position for pointing games. This white pistol-shaped item has a different design and is not offered as that Nintendo package. The official Zapper's history explains the gameplay format, not an included game, Nunchuk mount or Nintendo manufacture of this Wii Gun.
Developers used pointer controls for different shooting games. Some followed fixed arcade-like routes; others allowed movement with a Nunchuk in certain sections. Resident Evil used the format for horror stories, Ghost Squad offered military missions, and Link shot targets in Hyrule. These differences came from the games. A passive holder mainly preserves a physical grip; it adds no levels, game licence or online features to a Wii setup.
Nintendo Wii Games
Link's Crossbow Training has you hit targets and enemies in Twilight Princess settings. The Wii Remote aims the crossbow and B fires. Free-movement sections also require a Nunchuk. This holder does not replace that second device and is not the original Zapper game bundle. Chain hits and chase higher scores within the time limit; players can take turns competing.
Ghost Squad puts you in military missions, aiming at opponents while trying to spare hostages. Arcade-style action offers brief decisions and varied situations. The holder only changes your grip on the Wii Remote; buttons and game settings still govern other actions. This example concerns the Wii disc. Former online leaderboards are not promised as a current feature of either game or holder.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles follows a largely fixed route through events from the horror series. Aim at enemies and destructible objects, reload and find openings to survive attacks. A holder does not replace other controller actions: quick responses to prompts remain necessary. This concerns the original Wii release and Wii Remote controls. A second player can join locally with separate equipment; extra controllers and the disc are not included with this Wii Gun.
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles again uses pointer controls but tells different parts of Resident Evil history. The camera leads you through events while you shoot enemies and watch ammunition. Local play supports a second controller setup. A plastic pistol holder does not turn the game into a free-roaming action title: routes and required actions come from software. The original Wii version is the reference, not a later release on another platform.
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return bundles two arcade shooters for Wii. Aim from a first-person view at approaching enemies and large bosses while the game advances along the route. Rescue moments and choices can lead through different parts of the environment. The holder is simply a way of gripping the Wii Remote; access to other action buttons remains important. Local cooperation requires a separate controller for the second player.
