Wii Zapper To Have Zelda Pack-In Title

The Wii Zapper, announced during Nintendo's keynote at this year's E3 Media event, will be released with a Zelda-themed pack-in title. Called Link's Crossbow Training, it will train up players on skills with the add-on before big-league titles aimed at the device are released. "Nintendo also announced that the Zapper will work with EA's Medal of Honor Heroes, which will feature an 'arcade mode' to make the game accessible to all age groups and skill levels, as well as 32-player multiplayer. Nintendo also dropped a reminder that the upcoming Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles will take advantage of the Zapper, as will Sega's Ghost Squad. The Zapper looks like it will have quite a selection of strong franchises to grab gamer interest when it launches."

Of course the Wii Zapper will "work with" those games. The Wii Zapper is nothing but a molded shell to hold your actual controller(s).

The real question to ask is whether a game will work with the Wii Zapper. Some games may require independent movement of the nunchuck and remote (think: pumping the nunchuck to reload a shotgun while still keeping perfect aim), which would not be possible with the two tied together in the same cradle.
