We've heard this from a couple of sources independently now, and we feel relatively confident about passing it along. Apparently Gamestop managers meeting for their annual conference have been told that the Wii Zapper will launch with pack-in game Zelda Crossbow Training. As Ars Technica's source told them, "The game looked beautiful. I'm pretty sure it was running on the Twilight Princess engine. It's a third-person game, and you had some control over Link."
The best part? Reportedly, the Wii gun will still retail for $20, which just promoted the Zapper from "likely purchase " to "foregone conclusion." Hopefully we'll hear official word from Nintendo on this soon.

Although I thought Resident Evil: UC was going to be the pack in?

I guess if you need two of them for co-op play at least your getting a little bonus with the standalone. $20 was way overpriced for a piece of plastic considering the nunchuk also sells for $20 (and is overpriced as it is).
If you're into gun games though you're going to end up with 3 or 4 of the things laying around.

traditional wiimote and nunchuck would work better for that.
which is why zelda is an odd choice of pack-in game

BUT, what difference does it make where great games are coming from. The Wii has a TON of outstanding titles in just over a year of existance. The games that are coming this fall are only going to add to that list.
I hated Sony, so I didn't buy a playstation until near the end of the generation. I missed out on good games, but I got to keep my fanboy cred, and so will you.

I think this being the package would be grand:
zelda crossbow game
dunk hunt
demo of Medal of Honor Heroes 2
video of Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
demo of ghost squad
for $20 bucks I think this will be fair and good STOCKING STUFFER type of thing. When you consider that a nunchuck is $20 and can't be used by itself, or Classic controller that can't be used in gamecube games this is a better deal.

Meh, for me it's more like "I'll pass" to "We'll see".
