Can’t wait for Nintendo’s official Wii Zapper peripheral? We have a quaint little piece from the 1980s. It’s called an NES Zapper.

AcidMods’ cyberpyrot has brought the NES Zapper back to life! By wiring the Wii remote’s IR sensors to the front of the Zapper and the Wii remote’s B-button to the Zapper’s trigger, the Zapper can be used in any game that uses the Wii remote’s pointer as a gun. Nifty!
