Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller add-on (Wii)
Customer Review: needed for some games.Some notes about nunchuks
A nunckuk is a simple atachment to the Wii remote that gives you extra control over a game.So far 4 out of 6 of my games need it.If it has a nunchuk icon in the top-right corner of the box it needs it for all or part of the game.You get one free with the console,but you can get another for multiplayer. Here are some notes:

1.The control stick has a special feature:you can move it a little bit and it does the action a little bit,like a steering wheel!

2.The upper button is called “c” and the lower button is called “z” so if you see c and z mentioned in reviews you`ll know what they`re talking about. Don`t get them the wrong way round!

3.It fits in your hand perfectly-no need to worry about it being uncomfortable.

4.Don`t put the control stick in your mouth (if you do it goes all yellow).

5.The cord length is fine(almost the armspan of a quite tall 9-year-old).

So overall the nunchuk wins 5 stars for its special control stick feature; fitting into your hand nicely; and its cord length, and only has 1 bad point which is being just plain white and even this is hardly a “bad” point because you never look at the nunchuk when you`re playing and even this can be fixed by buying a skincase for it.

Customer Review: A Must have
This is a brilliant assesory/add on, and it is a must have to play most games.

Wii Remote Grip - Nintendo Licensed (Wii)

Remote Gun Holder (Wii)
List Price: ?9.99
Amazon Price: ?9.98
Customer Review: Does the job, and is very fun
Though this is not the official wii zapper, it’s as close as you’ll get without infringing copyright. You can feel why it’s half the price as the trigger feels too thin, and there’s lumps and bump here and there. But seeing as you can’t get a wii zapper without link training, this is what to get. Though I only have one game that works with it (Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) I enjoy using it allot. It is slightly harder for some reason, maybe just because i’m not used to it. Basically it does the job, is quite comfortable, and very fun. It only got 4 overall as the trigger is uncomfortable.
Customer Review: Very disappointing
I prefer the design/look of this versus the official zapper but the problem is that with the Wii remote fully inserted, the trigger simply doesn’t work. You have to open the retaining clip and lift the remote out of the gun slightly to get it to work properly. I’m guessing they don’t all have this issue as other reviewers seem to be happy with theirs. Maybe I was just unlucky! I’ll be returning this to Amazon immediately.

Link’s Crossbow Training (inc. Wii Zapper) (Wii)
List Price: ?19.99
Used Price: ?42.99
Customer Review: Good simple fun!
Picked this up yesterday and have had such a laugh with the game and the zapper. Wanted it to play Resident Evil, but found the crossbow game was not bad. No idea why anyone would pay these prices for it when Tesco’s have it for ?17.71. Makes the Wii that little bit more fun and offers you a little sillyness. Can’t wait to try playing more games with the zapper. The zapper itself is very simple and easy to use. Feels well made and offers a nice way to store your controllers when not in use.
Customer Review: good but not perfect
Construction It’s definitely cool looking and pretty durable, but there are a couple of flaws that I’m sure will be corrected in future versions of this zapper. When holding the zapper, it is a bit awkward to shoot with your forward hand and steer your guy with your back hand. It is cleverly constructed to hide your wire from the wii-mote to the nunchuck. When it is fully put together, it balances well and feels pretty solid. We did however notice that when reloading your gun in Medal of Honor (by quickly jerking your gun upward) there were a few times when the wii-mote came loose from it’s housing. This is frustrating because if the wii-mote slips out, the zapper mechanism won’t hit the trigger (b-button) on the wii-mote. This is extremely frustrating in a battle situation if you’re reloading with someone coming at you. You’ll be toast. About a third of the people who play it at our house have had this issue, but if you’re reasonably gentle, you should get the hang of it. I am going to assume that in the future, Nintendo is either going to make their own, or outsource a Wii Zapper where the trigger is in your back hand and you steer with your front hand. It will be much more intuitive. In fact, as the wii expands, you’ll probably see a lot of sweet designs. The zapper is constructed as it is in order to give you a low cost to having this ability now. Function in games Once you adjust your sensitivity and height, you will be much more comfortable. When I first tried it, without any tweaking, it was much too touchy. I don’t know how it affects things, but on a large TV, it was just too fast and twitchy until we adjusted things. One flaw that we noticed is that if you move your cursor too far to one side, it will come back on the other side of the screen. For instance, if your cursor is near the right side of the screen and you move further right, even though your zapper is still pointed to the right, your cursor will reappear on the left side. You have to do the reverse process to get it back in line. This of course is frustrating in a game. It is probably like this because I have a 56 inch tv and we were standing pretty close. On a smaller tv, it may not have this same effect. With all of that said though. The Wii Zapper is headed in the right direction. Once a couple of killer games come out and some tweaks are done, you’ll see Sony and Xbox copying the idea, and playing Halo, or Call of Duty with a standard remote will be a thing of the past. Once you start marching through Medal of Honor or even the training game, you realize that this is how you’ve always wanted to play first person shooters. I’m guessing that the race is now on. If the Wii can get Call of Duty 4 or some game like it to incorporate the Wii-Zapper, you won’t want to play Halo 3 again until xbox can design a zapper. Mark my words: It’s the future, and in a year all three major systems will be marketing souped up zappers for first person shooters. You’ll be bored with standard controls after trying the zapper. All in all. For ?20, if you have a wii, you should get the zapper. It’s worth it for the Link’s Crossbow. It’s another fun addition to any wii party. Non-gamers will have as much fun as hard core fans, just like almost everything on the wii so far

A complete waste of money, not worth the faffing around to put it together, it’s far easier to just play with a normal remote and nunchuck.
