Here in North America I guess you could say that paying $20 for what generally seems to be a disliked peripheral and for a game that is nothing but a demo to show off the thing seems reasonable. In the same way that Wii Play's full price is reasonable since it comes with a remote and one decent game (Tanks).
But how will our friends across the pond feel about paying more than twice that amount for it? Nintendo of Europe has announced that the Wii Zapper and
Link's Crossbow Training bundle will set would be owners back €30 (about $43). And just to add insult to injury, the bundle won't make it to Europe until December 8th, compared to the North American date of November 19th. Are there any Europeans out there still willing to buy this now that you know how much you'll be paying?

ouch... that's lame on an unprecedented scale
Lol, MP3's delay is still pretty lame haha.
That's a complete rip-off. I'm doubting I would get the game for $20. I guess it boils down to the currency there.
Oh Get In There!
Watch it, us British will end up paying $50, we dont go by euro, we go by sterling
I am like the person looking forward to all these zapper games and they do this to me, I have lost a lot of respect for Nintendo, we have yet more delays on a plastic peripheral.
I know you're super excited for all of the zapper games, Capt., but do you really want the Nintendo one? the other ones being made look much more comfortable/useful/aesthetically pleasing...
Welcome to the world of UK prices
You must be new
Ha im not buying some plastic peice of crap and a very basic game that doesnt even look fun!

Joytech sharpshooter (horrible reviews)
Brando gun looks pretty fun, I might pick it up in time for the zapper games
The zapper games were all scheduled around 9th or november, zapper date got released so they were delayed till 19th now they will get delayed to december in europe
Well, they can hardly region lock a piece of plastic.
I love importing from American sites ^^
Meh, it was naturally going to be €30. That's the price of budget games here. But the dollar is cripplingly weak at the moment so exchange rates don't come into play here
€1 = $1.35
£ > all
except the maltese lira. but they are essentially england anyway
Australians will be charged $49AU for the Zapper + Crossbow Training pack.
I'd be annoyed if I was going to buy it. But I'm steering clear of this trash anyway, so its no big deal to me.

If we do import it then we would have to wait a while to play the actual compatible games since they are the region locked things.
Why does everything I love crash and burn get delayed.
Because your in the PAL region.
Imma' just going to cling on the fact that My Country > everywhere else
during industrial revolution...
At least I know that I can buy everything on its release day
Wow, that's a lot for a piece of plastic. And $50? I don't think so. That's ridiculous.

The Zapper looks pretty cool and I am a fanboy for it so yeah...
But all these delays and prices going up I am considering the brando light gun.
If Nintendo redesigned the Zapper I'd consider paying the price, but that current form is an eyesore.

I thought the original proto. shown at E3 06 was an eye sore, the new one looks actually usable and neat.
maybe not as badass as a PS2 chainsaw controller (Capcom, I love you!) but the appearance doesnt matter all that much, if it is comfortable and usable is the main factors.
