Wiimote gunshell in the shape of a shark?

Ummmm, look. It’s a gun shell for the Wiimote. And it looks like a shark. What’s that all about then? We’ve taken the bait (*groan*) and posted about it, if only because the company responsible are clearly a few fish short of an aquarium. Here’s the blurb on the packaging:

“During the gun-fighting game, use the Wii remote nunchuk and Shark Gun together, holding the Shark Gun, poking the trigger with your forefinger to shoot, will bring you a ‘you’re there’ feel.”

And how, pray tell, will holding a plastic shark in my hands give me a feeling of authenticity when playing Umbrella Chronicles? Perhaps there is a skewed logic to their madness; with Nintendo’s own Zapper (as yet unreleased) bundled with a Zelda game, third parties will have to go the extra mile to make themselves stand out. Such are the perils of being a small fish in a big pond…
