Nintendo Zapper Revolution
super zapper
Nintendo zapper is an electronic light gun accessory for Nintendo console. The first released of this accessory is for Nintendo Entertainment System. It’s known as Beam Gun in Japan, released on February 18, 1984.
Nintendo zapper for NES allows player to aim like using a gun or a bow gun at the monitor and shoot the object appear on the game. I remember that i’d used it before on my NES console when I was a child. On that time, the most compatible game using this accessory was Duck Hunt. You need to aim for all ducks and shoot time by the zapper. Each duck has three chances to shot them. And there’s a dog appear on the game, which you can see the dog is patrolling around the field (don’t know what it’s doing) and also the dog will laugh at you when you’re miss shooting the duck. It’ll make you embarrassing. So whenever the dog laugh at you, just shoot it, ask it to stop laughing (that’s what I always do).
After several years, Nintendo upgrades its video game console and so does with this accessory. Now the Nintendo zapper for Nintendo Wii, unites with Wii Remote and Nunchuk to use. It’s very easy to use, just slide the Wii Remote in above the trigger and slip your Nunchuk onto the back of the zapper. So the shape of the zapper looks like a crossbow. And you’ll be like a zapping pro within minutes while playing the games.
You can use your both hand to look like a zapping pro or use a single hand to looks like a police aiming the thief. This revolution sure is a simple but very wonderful idea. With Nintendo zapper you can use it to play shooting games such as Ghost Squad, The House of the Dead, Link’s Crossbow training, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace and Call of Duty: World of War.
From the originally resembled a shotgun, into the latest version changed look more like a sub machine gun. All shooting games should be enhanced by the zapper add on, including the mini games. Just imagine you’re playing the Resident Evil, aiming those zombies with the zapper, sure is wonderful experience. Who knows it can be useful, when there’s a real zombie in this world, doesn’t it? (but hope there’s no real zombie >.<).
If you’re wondering how to use this zapper, you can visit Nintendo.com to view the short videos demonstration of how to use Nintendo zapper.
I suggest you to read my other guide on: Buy Nintendo and Nintendo Hardware.
My aunt has one and at 55 she is really having fun with it. she said not only is she having the time of her life but she is also doing exercise. Well done Nintendo!
It looks great ! I currently don’t have a nintendo,but I’m planning to get one as soon as possible. The zapper is simply amazing ! I’ll probably buy it , with the nintendo.
I bought an oringal nintendo, came with a zapper gun. How do i use it with duck hunt/super mario game. do i use the controller to start the game then plug in the gun? please explain!
it’s very simple to use Nintendo Zapper…
First load the Duck Hunt game on your console. Choose which mode you want to play. When the game started, plug in the Zapper into your console and you can start shooting those duck already. There’s no installation needed.
It looks great i have to get one for myself.
Cool
It’s gonna be a lot of fun using this gun.
good sence of …..
I swear to god! the they one of those get to the PC i’m going to quit my job!
That’s a dream instead of using the mouse with one hand, the keyboard with the other hand… and using your nose to trough grenades … lucky wii users!
Haha, I remember the original Zapper. You could get it in orange or grey, and it worked great for duck hunt! I also remember the Super Scope, which was essentially the Super NES version of the Zapper. I actually have an original Japanese Super Scope, complete with the box and the Super Scope 6 game! Sometimes I wonder if I’m too much of a collector…
YUPPII IM GIRL BUT I LOVE YAAAAAAAA

I like the design of this thing. It looks light and probably easy to handle.

I too remember using this on the original NES! We have a Wii but haven’t purchased any game yet that requires the zapper, but I’ll definitely have to look into it.
Nintendo zapper is s nice playing accessory. I have one light beam gun like N.Z and I love to play with it.
Hi Friends, am a game lover and it is funny
this is really very nice ate……….
I’m so glad they came out with a wicked zapper for the Wii. Does anybody remember the Super Scope for SNES? That thing was so awful. I’m glad Nintendo finally got it right again!
i am big game interest guy and its interesting here
Seeing this really takes me back to the early 1980′s. Mario in my opinion was the best Nintendo game to ever hit the market!
What a nice. I think this a great thing for game lover.
Looks like fun.
I’ve played most of the motion sensitive games for the Wii, the racing games was the most fun, i’d like to try this out and see how it compares.
Wow, I’m so surprised I havn’t even seen this in stores yet or even something remotely similar. I’m a big tech so it’s exactly what I needed. If you want you can visit my tech blog at Computer to HDTV.
Thanks for this article!
This is great, my friend has one and he loves it, well worth the purchase.
wow….I’ve got the two handed one, but I love the retro look of the one handed zapper…gonna have to keep and eye out for it!
