Since we're in the same area could you specify which Target you found Ghost Squad at and whether or not there were any other copies? Thanks

I meant that I hold the front part of the zapper (with the B trigger) in my right hand, and the rear portion with the nunchuk in my left (i.e., I hold the zapper with 2 hands). Some right-handed people reverse the hands, but I don't see why. I have tried just the zapper in my right (with nunchuk removed and in my left hand) but I also like holding the zapper with 2 hands. I am expecting a Nyko Perfect Shot to show up every day now. And I have been playing the hell out of MOH:H2.

I found it at the one off Barranca and Culver but didn't see any others laying around.

I don't know why either, but with a two handed grip, I find putting the left hand in front much more comfortable than the other way around. Maybe I'm used to the trigger being in the back?

Thanks for the heads up. That's the one closest to me so you saved me a trip. Maybe I'll swing by the Tustin Marketplace Target sometime this weekend if I'm in that area.

None that I know of.... You should just order it from Buy.com or Amazon.

I have the Nyko Perfect Shot and I like it better than the Zapper. It is a bit heavy, but it works as advertised.

My major complaint with both products is their handling of the wrist strap. For the zapper, it just awkwardly hangs there. On the Nyko gun you have to remove it completely. I prefer the much more elegant solution of a small space to tuck it into (as seen on the GH3 guitar).

You don't have to remove the strap on the perfect shot, you just have to make sure it doesn't block the nunchuk port when you put it in the gun. It just hangs off the side, but it fits.

Hmm...I wasn't able to get it to work. I'll try again next time I put a Wii Remote in there.

I may actually take to just removing the strap for both accessories, since it drives me nuts.

I just played Link's Crossbow Training with the Zapper for the first time last night. A lot of fun, but I didn't find the Zapper very comfortable. I am going to try picking up the Perfect Shot when it's back in stock.

I'll wait til I get the Perfect Shot to try out Ghost Squad.

I saw Ghost Squad at Target last week mixed in with other $29.99 Wii games, but didn't get it. After reading this thread, I went back and they let me have it for $12.46.

I actually enjoyed the Link Zapper game so I'll have to try out a couple more of the shooting ones.

Why can't I seem to find the Nyko Perfect Shot anywhere?! I want two of them, but I don't want to resort to a markup on ebay. I figure, shipped, it'd be about $60 for two!

Any ideas?

It's been tought to find, I have a Ghost Squad and HOTD 2/3 waiting to be played because I haven't got a Perfect Shot yet. It seems like people have been seeing them more in stores over at cheapassgamer, but no online sites have them.

General consensus from CAG is that KMart and Circuit City are the best bets for finding them in store.
