Wii Zapper running out at Wal-Mart and Amazon - Image 1 It's only been a couple of days since its launch, and it's already running dry. News is coming in that following the Wii Zapper's introduction to North America last November 19, online stocks from retailer Wal-Mart have already sold out.

We reiterate this is only confirmed for purchases via the Wal-Mart site - there's still a chance it's available in their physical outlets.

Other online stores are beginning to report the same shortage as well. A quick visit to Amazon indicates that their own supplies have run short. The site further reports that they'll update as soon as they receive word of more shipments via retailer Target.

As a recap, Nintendo's Wii Zapper comes packaged with Link's Crossbow Training. The accessory is further recommended for use with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, and House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return.

This is a poorly designed product

And yet it still sells. I think people are so Wii crazy right now that they'll buy anything that goes with it. The reviews on this product are negative and it adds almost nothing to the gaming experience. In fact it makes it HARDER to play some games! I thought Nintendo was stupid to bring out this kind of zapper but it's probably brilliant to keep it a low cost high profit item rather than something of value that makes a smaller margin. I hope some 3rd party company will take the time to make a quality gun attachment for the Wii.

3rd party companies already make gun attachments for the Wii
