You don't need the zapper for any games.

I don't know much about chargers. I have rechargeable batteries, though, which work great.

Whew I thought it was another recommendation thread. :)

Do not use any of the Wiimote Charger packs. Just buy some rechargeable Energizer AAs along with a charger. Paid $20 for the charger which came with some batteries. That was a year ago and it's still going.

No game really needs the Wii Zapper since it's just a plastic shell to mount your Wiimote in. But the House of the Dead does use it rather well along with Ghost Squad and Umbrella Chronicles.

As others have said, rechargeable batteries work just fine. Never seen the need for a charger station.

The Zapper is pretty ridiculous, actually. Just an unwieldy plastic shell that makes the gameplay experience less enjoyable in most cases. That said, Umbrella Chronicles a great game and you should definitiely get it - just play with the regular wiimote though.

plastic surgery is never the answer....

No but seriously

Don't get a recharge pack, just get some recharable batteries

and you don't really need the Zapper for any games

Nyko charge station is ok. Sometimes it'll say the wii mote is charged and when you play it'll be half full. But other than that I love it.

I really really did not enjoy Umbrealla Chronicles. Thank god I rented this one. In short, the game is on the boring side. To answer your question about the zapper, you don't need that piece of plastice. Instead of spending $20 on that, I recomend picking up Zack and Wiki.

Don't buy that nyko thing, I got a USB rechargable battery pack that fits on the back on the wiimote for $10 plus it gas a soft grip thing.

The nyko charge station is great. I really do love it.

The zapper is a piece of junk. Pass on it.
