Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
At E3 this year , Nintendo announced the Wii Zapper, a housing for the Wii-mote and Nunchuck controller, turning them into a nifty light gun. There was criticism however; the Wii Zapper was merely overpriced plastic. Could a new Zelda game packed with the Zapper belay those fears?
At the Electronic Entertainment Expo: Media and Business summit this year Nintendo announced a number of peripherals.
The most promising being the balance board, with a packaged Wii-Fit game/exercise program. The balance board holds potential to expand, yet again, the controller interfaces and game developer options.
The other two devices, the new steering wheel housing and Wii-Zapper were criticized for simply being over-priced pieces of plastic.
At US$19.99 the Wii-Zapper turns the original Wii controllers – the Wii-mote and Nunchuck – Into a zombie blasting light gun.
Fans will no doubt be encouraged to hear of plans to include a game with the Wii-Zapper pack. They will be further delighted to hear that said game may well be a Zelda title.
Apparently, in Las Vegas this week, GameStop store franchise managers were given a world-exclusive look at Zelda Crossbow Training.
A source from the GameStop show told Ars Technica; "The game looked beautiful," my source said. "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. While the video was way too short to get a good idea of the gameplay, it looks like a light-gun inspired Zelda title."
Hopefully there will be more substance to follow; potentially this can make the new peripheral more or less enticing depending on which side of the fence you fall.
A) “Great, now the US$20.00 doesn’t seem so bad, and I get a Zelda title” or
B) “Why didn’t they just make it cheaper? I want to get two guns to play other games, and don’t care about Zelda”
