Sure, it was already included in Wii Play, but Duck Hunt would work so well with the Zapper that it goes without reason this should be the first game to be included in the line-up. Thankfully, in our best interests the Wii Zapper is retailing for $19.99 with bundled software in the exact opposite move of Wii Play, now that was a game which should have received such a low bargaining price in the first place. The only reason worth buying it in the first place was for the extra Wii remote, as the game selection was rather poor at best outside of Duck Hunt. Luckily, with the Zapper hitting retail at such a low price point, even if the software leaves much to be desired, at the very least, most won't feel as if they were scammed out of their money. Best of all, with the Wii Zapper's potential of ushering in a new wave of light gun shooters from third party developers, this could make for a great investment.

Keep your eyes open for that one Spencer. After 22 years, Duck Hunt 2, now that would be news. Keep your eyes open for that one Spencer.

But still, a gun shaped hand is waaay better than a remote shaped hand if you're shooting the crap out of something on screen.

Ghost Squad and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a good start, but I'd love to see a light gun renaissance on the system.
