Isn't this piece of crap keyboard going to be black and white now ? and wtf is up with the price... I'd bend over and take one for free before I did the same buying this keyboard. PFFFT!
*sigh* The zapper is NOT a lightgun, the wiimote works off of signals sent back and forth via the sensor you sit above the television, enabling a 3d space motion sensor.
Lightguns work off of light being reflected back at the television from the gun and back. IT IS NOT A LIGHTGUN.
It's quite obvious this thing is a shell that will connect to the wiimote and just extend the button presses via wires into the zapper. Personally I think this thing is going to kick major arse in FPS's. Especially with the analogue stick above the handle.
The ball design is ludicrous. Playing for extended hours would do all sorts of damage to your hands. Not to mention actually using the buttons or analogue sticks would be a never ceasing source of frustration as the ball moves around in your hands.
As for the D-pad/Analogue swap pad, gamecube did it, turns out it's an awesome idea, and I've been using it for the last few years.
Geez Rob, maybe I'm not seeing the sarcasm in your post, maybe it's a little too subtle... But just in case you're serious, Kirby is a nintendo character.
