Parents are outraged over the Wii's new gun shell add-on.

Since the launch of our waggly wonder, the Wii has received next to no negative press from critics and anti-videogaming groups. Jack Thompson even stooped so low as to try and have an offer at an American restaurant removed that promoted the Wii, simply because Manhunt 2 was going to be released on it.

Angered parents have finally found something to pick at however. The upcoming Wii Zapper shell for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, compatible with games such as Link's Crossbow Training and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, has been under fire from 'concerned' parents and grandparents who apparently don't see the logic in not having to buy this new add-on for their children.

"Great, this is what we need," wrote one furious parent. "Children with guns learning how to aim and shoot. Then we can sit back and wonder what is happening to our country with kids killing kids......what's next? Could we make it squirt blood, too?" Oh dear. That was quite clearly Peter Kay, everybody.

One grandparent had an interesting proposal. "....Why don't they enclose an application to the NRA (National Rifle Association) in every box as well." Because that would just be silly. "The marketing person who came up with this brain child of an idea should be fired."

"I think it's irresponsible for Wii to come out with a controller that looks like a gun so kids can play games simulating shooting." After all, carrying crossbows about is what all the cool kids are up to nowadays. "What kind of message are we sending as parents when we buy these things for our kids." If you don't want your kids to play it, don't buy the game. Simple as.

A new breed of videogame-hating parents has awoken. And somewhere in Florida, Jack Thompson is laughing...
