Game News - Wii has a new controller

Since its launch in last November, the Wii has easily surpassed all challengers in the console sales race. Still, Nintendo's success could be attributed to Wii Sports, (a compilation of different sports) that comes packed in with the console and plays heavily to the system's motion-sensing capabilities.

GameSpot stated that for its latest peripheral, Nintendo is looking to re-create that success in a similar fashion. Nintendo announced today that Link's Crossbow Training will accompany the Wii Zapper when it targets retail shelves on November 19. The game will graphically resemble Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and players will assume the role of Link as he progresses through a series of skill-based shooting tests.

Looks like Nintendo has attracted several developers to the Wii Zapper. The peripheral was initially announced during this year's E3 Media and Business Summit, and Nintendo noted then that Electronic Arts' Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Capcom's Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Sega's Ghost Squad would all be custom-made for the Zapper.

Link's Crossbow Training will come with the Wii Zapper controller, which will be sold for $19.99.
