Nintendo's Wii Zapper controller housing, which was first revealed in July, just got all official. You'll be able to itch that gaming trigger finger on November 19, with a little title Nintendo's calling Link's Crossbow Training. Not bad for $20, but I still hope they revive Duck Hunt, and let me shoot that mocking dog this time around.

The Wii Zapper isn't a controller itself, but a housing for the Wiimote and Nunchuck that turns the two into a gun controller that promises to bring even more gaming innovation to the white-hot Wii. Aside from the included Zelda game, the Zapper will be supported by third party titles like Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and Sega's Ghost Squad. Lest you think that was all the controller contraptions Nintendo had up its sleeve, a Wheel controller housing will be bundled with the Wii Mario Kart game, to be released sometime early next year.
