Editing NES Zapper (section)

==Legacy==
The [[Wii Zapper]] peripheral for the [[Wii]] console is a plastic casing for the [[Wii Remote]] attached to a Nunchuk that is held like a gun for point-and-shoot gameplay. It is not technically or visually similar to the Zapper. The [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of NES games can use the Wii Remote's pointer as a virtual Zapper.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Olney |first1=Alex |title=Review: Duck Hunt (Wii U eShop / NES) |url=http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/duck_hunt_nes |website=Nintendo Life |access-date=February 8, 2019 |date=December 25, 2014 |archive-date=December 26, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226011836/http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/duck_hunt_nes |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Tom |title=Three more NES Zapper games heading to the North American Wii U eShop |url=https://nintendowire.com/news/2016/01/06/three-more-nes-zapper-games-heading-to-the-wii-u-virtual-console-tomorrow/ |website=Nintendo Wire |access-date=February 8, 2019 |date=January 6, 2016 |archive-date=February 9, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190209134644/https://nintendowire.com/news/2016/01/06/three-more-nes-zapper-games-heading-to-the-wii-u-virtual-console-tomorrow/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
