Ghost Squad, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and Link's Crossbow Training. House of the Dead 2 and 3 Returns will also support it, but that doesn't come out until next year.

As the Zapper is just a shell, you can technically use it for any Wii game, but it would just make everything more difficult.

On a related note, from the IGN review, Nyko's Perfect Shot is a much better alternative to the Zapper. Looks a lot cooler, too!

Yeah, that's pretty much the sole reason why anyone would want to buy a gun shell. Besides immersion, it typically doesn't improve performance. In fact, the Zapper's been said to hender it.

like an ugly gun. the zapper is a waste of money. if they made it possible to sperate the butt and the front of the gun and they added a spring it would be good.

I agree. If I wanted a gun shell, I would like it to look like a gun.

Only problem with using a 3rd-party knockoff with games in "Zapper" mode is that they may rely on the motion/gesture controls of both the peripherals together, as is the case with the Zapper; the remote and nunchuk are both aligned and locked in place together.

(which isn't the case with Nyko's take on a light-gun shell)

Also, another Zapper centric game no one has mentioned yet is Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. Seems to work well in the Arcade mode, but like I said before, the Zapper's not worth it and is known to make your gaming experience worst. Better alternatives are to either use the Wiimote or Nyko's Perfect Shot.

Since they are both shells, I'm going to say "yes", though I'm not sure. Maybe it would be easier to play normally with the Perfect Shot since the Zapper was constructed to hold both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk while the Perfect Shot only holds the Wiimote. At $15, though, I don't think it would be a waste of money to buy one and try it out. I'm getting MOHH2 soon, and I'll eventually get a Perfect Shot, so I'll see how well things go then.

Yeah,lol.I think the Zapper price is 10% for the shell and 90% for the "bonus" game XD

I will never get the Zapper or Nyko's gun...I rather go with the simply use of the WiiMote and Nunchuck ALONE.

I actually have the zapper and to me it does make the game better. Most people who use it don't go into the options and put it to zapper mode.
