In the tradition of the Multiplayer contributors thinking a little bit out side the box with the way they use video game controllers I have conducted an experiment.I have followed in the steps of our fearless leader, Mr. Totilo, (playing "Wii Fit" while sitting) as well as our resident rocker-chick, Tracey, (taking on "Rock Band" all by her lonesome) and gone ahead and tried to explore "Zapper Compatibility."The Zapper's been catching a little bit of (well-deserved) flack since it was released a few weeks ago, mainly because it is simply a piece of plastic that houses your Wii controller. That's it.
As a consumer (as well as a Nintendo fanboy), I find it slightly offensive that games are being marketed as Zapper compatible, implying that games needs the Zapper to work. They don't. Some games may play a little bit better inside of the little plastic shell, but it's not a necessity. To test my theory, I tried to find out if a game that we have all come to know and love, "Wii Sports" is actually "Zapper Compatible." (Watch the results above).
