I'm not sure how hard the Wii Zapper is to find but I sent some ladies off to find one yesterday. They were looking at some god awful 3rd party shotgun looking zapper and I heard them saying it must be the right thing cause it was the price they were told. I couldn't stand by and keep my mouth shut. I ended up talking them out of it and an arcade stick. I'm sure the clerk, staring at me off and on the whole time I was talking to them, was thrilled that I spoke up.

Have any of you bought the Nyko Perfect Shot yet? IGN really, really likes it:

About an hour ago, they opened a couple of cases of Wii's at the Super Target in the Vineyard (1604 and Blanco).
I just happened to be walking by the aisle when they did it.
Score!
I was able to purchase 2 (that was the limit) for my sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. Right after I bought them, the manager said only one per person, but I would have just had my wife by the other one.
There were about 7 or 8 left when I left.

Can somebody tell me what the control scheme is for Umbrella Chronicles? Would the Nyko gun work with it, or does the game use the face buttons?

And no, you don't need the face buttons at all if you have set up the Wii Zapper as your control scheme.

Does any of you ever experience nunchuck problem? i.e. you can't control the character and the character pretty much running around w/o a single touch to the nunchuck. When i unplug and replug the nunchuck into the wiimote, the problem seems to go away. However, it's quite annoying during games...

Ocelot, that happens if the control stick isn't in the center when the wiimote connects to the console. Make sure you aren't touching it or sitting on it when you boot up.

What's odd is that a few weeks ago, when TRU had their big WII promotion (b2g1free on wii games) each store I went to had the Wii in stock for several days in a row. That was before the Xmas rush, though.

I know what he's talking about with the nunchuk problem, and it isn't that. I will be playing fine, and then all of a sudden my character won't listen to my commands. It happened to me every now and then during Strikers especially. I would unplug and replug it and then it would be fine though.

Yeah, that's pretty much the problem i was describing... However, some times i think the stick on the nunchuck got "jammed" right before i turn on the Wii. Yeah, the other day playing Galaxy, Mario just ran off the platform and committed suicide
it's quite rare, but it does happen... however, it could be battery problems as well. That brings up another question, the battery status is not really that accurate is it? Some times i have three bars, and the Wiimote is not so responsive until i change the batteries.

this one kicks ass when playing Resident Evil UC... The laser sight is functional, but it's useless (the cross hair and the laser pointer are way off). However, it does give you something to hold on to when shooting (picture Solid Snake's way of holding the SOCOM). It's quite comfy and you can easily press the A and the directional buttons. I didn't use the Nunchuck, which is quite clumsy regardless which shell you use...
The nunchuck portion is detachable, a bit loose, but you can pad with tissues/papers to make it sturdier. I find it better than the Zapper for Link's CT. The Zapper is not so great for target shooting (at least for me), but the gun shell i got offers better control (score way more points than the Zapper).
Oh, did i mention that the Zapper is not good for wiimotes with Nyko battery covers? not exactly a perfect fit...
The one from above fits fat and regular wiimote battery covers...
