So while Wii fans wait around for the promised "Zapper Style" Wiimote shell (a.k.a. "The Blaster"), peripherals big shot Joytechhas snuck onto the scene with a similar product called the Sharp Shooter. The lack of details on Joytech's site means all we know is that "the Sharp Shooter brings Wii shooting games to life with amazing realism," though how the contraption actually pulls this off is still somewhat of a mystery. No word on price or release dates either, but we can comfort ourselves in knowing that when the Shooter does hit shelves, it will work on "ALL TV's and displays" (emphasis theirs, not ours).

How are you supposed to hold up a store with one of those?

If the store is run by Miis you could pick them up with it.

It's a nice looking design but I suspect it'd need games developed specifically with it in mind.

Isn't it just a bit of plastic that your nunchuck slots into to make a gun shape? That's what it looks like to me, although that's not a bad thing. Quite clever in fact. Now do a shotgun one.
