Sounds awesome, especially at that price! And it will definitely come in handy for FPS games.
Some of the comments on that page are completely terrible though. Sometimes people disappoint me.

I think the guy speaking in spanish was the most intelligent commenter there...not really I just like to think that he was a lot more articulate than the guy who summed it up as "f***ing retarded". Course this is probably going to be the same guy who gets the GunCon Mk. Whatever for the console version of Time Crisis 4 which is the same damn thing really only a lot more expensive and not going to be incorporated in more than one game.

To him, Wii is probably "OMG 4 KIDIDES LOL" and all that. Ugh, fanboys. Also, any use of the word "retarded" immediately discounts whatever you just said in my book. I hate that word.

That and calling things "gay". I didn't realize inanimate objects had gender. Well they might according to foreign languages but this is America where we don't have such rules... ...in any event yeah I'm definetely getting this, though I hope they announce titles that'll take advantage of this schematic in the coming months, mostly cause i wouldn't want to wait for a year just to hear news of a coming game.

Yeah..."gay" is an even bigger pet peeve of mine. It's just absolutely ridiculous. In any case, once I eventually get a Wii, I will definitely be getting the Zapper. I really do need to get around to getting a Wii at some point.

I'll probably get it. That sort of game is exactly what I bought the Wii for.

As long as it`s well made. If it the Wii mote doesn`t fit exactly into that thing it`ll rattle and move about pretty much ruining the whole thing.

Short of the Power Glove, when's the last time Nintendo released a shoddy game device? They're typically known for a high standard of quality.

I'll be all over this the minute it hits the shelves.

I like that Shigeru's saying that special controllers would be cheap and would come bundled with games for the most part wasn't BS.
(I'm referencing an interview he did with GI a while back.)

I have my Credit Card in the Ready Position!
I'm praying for a game where player 1 drives a vehicle, and player two takes the zapper and shoots. Like that Jurassic Park Arcade game, and a couple other arcade only games.

It sounds mildly interesting. At that price they had to bundle a game with the zapper, since on its own it's not even worth $5, never mind $20.
In any event, I doubt I'll be buying the thing. Metroid Prime 3 proves that the Wiimote works well enough for shooters on its own, so a plastic shell that provides no additional functionality is worthless.

You, uh, see how much this sort of thing runs for? Yes, far more than its worth. But usually crap like this comes from third parties and it doesn't sell well. My point is that this thing is nothing but a hunk of plastic. It doesn't actually do anything. Nintendo has to package a game with it to justify its $20 price tag, otherwise nobody will buy it.

You severely underestimate Nintendo's selling power.
