EDIT: title should read GRASP not GRAPS :P

OK so i know this new Zapper thing gives the ability to play on-rail shooters like the new RE5 etc..

but games like MP3, COD3 and the older MoH games, i keep seeing these Wii Light Gun adapters floating around, designed to 'enhance your experience'.

i've never used one, so how do they work? i know its still like pointing and moving a cursor around, not like a real light gun, but i think it would definitely help with aiming and keeping a steady shot. but most games have A as the fire button. So i assume, when you plug the remote into the gun, the trigger of the lightgun then becomes the replacement A button, is that how it works? or is the gun purely cosmetic, and we still need two hands to use it, one to hold, one to press all the buttons on top..

lol..Just overclock the Wiimote's internal processor, I hear it has GO stepping. Make sure you slap a turniq heatsink cus it will over heat...:P then you will have a stable wiimote, Oh run Orthos for 3 hours just to be sure.

All Inside jokes aside , I think the Wii blaster is just comestic, but playing lightgun games on it would prolly be more immersive than just a Wiimote and numchuk alone.

hahaha you tool ;) you know only you, myself and maybe a couple others will get that.

yeah. so i mean, the trigger functions as the A button though, doesnt it? its not a pretend trigger that just looks nice, and we still need to move our hand to the top of the gun to press A to fire?

I know playing without the zapper makes my hand cramp up, and I think it will make a difference. I have not had the chance to buy it yet, hopefully its at stores tomorrow.

:P I knew that only a few would get it ...Anyways from What I've seen its just a piece of plastic with a triggger extender. The extender pushes the "B" button of th wii mote, Which most shooters have the option of using A or B as the fire button. Hope that helps.

i find it pointless, but a one handed gun(pistol) peripheral would be cool

i saw some people using the nunchuck in their left hand and holding the wii zapper in their right, but that looks so uncomfortable

hehe.

yeah thats the answer im looking for mate, cheers. so the trigger extends to activate the B button. ok cool, well im pretty sure im gonna give the Zapper a miss, thats for sure. looks so...uncomfortable. but im gonna grab a regular light gun adapter. will surely help in games like COD and mainly Metroid Prime 3, since i kinda struggle on that.
