    Check out what's being bundled with UK and Australian editions of House of the Dead: Overkill.

    Bullet holes the size of matzo balls!
    Bullet holes the size of matzo balls!













    In my book that takes the cake as the coolest Nintendo peripheral for shooting dudes, edging out the Super Scope. I'm not even a huge fan of guns in general, but if I have to take out a horde of zombies I sure as hell would rather have this in my hand than that freaking Wii Zapper. I will not get laughed out of the Zombie Apocalypse!

    I'll drive that tanker.
    I'll drive that tanker.
    Unfortunately this isn't currently available in the US. Additionally, Australian zombie hunters will be able to get twice the firepower with two guns in their "Big Bang Box" bundle. I guess it just goes to show how Australia still has the right idea when dealing with an apocalypse, so stock up on that hair gel now.

    Check it out on Amazon.

    They're alright, though I still prefer using just the remote and nunchuk and imagining some type of awesome, future gun in my hands that morphs shape every time I change gun in the game, still, it does piss in the face of the Wii Zapper.

    Is the Wii region-locked?  Because, if not....I'm probably going to get that Australian bundle...JUST to have the peripherals.  Fuck the game!

    Tomorrows news: OFLC refuses classification of House of the Dead Overkill. Calling it now. The ratings board cannot stand for this, we dont derserve them.

    Totally beats the hell out of the Wii Zapper.

    Well, you win some, you lose some. Australia gets to wait forever to play Rock Band, the HotD Hand Cannons don't get released in North America. Happy now, Australia?

    Ironic since the UK and Australia have some of the most strict laws regarding firearms and firearm replicas.  The use of the word "hand cannon" is carefully worded, since the use of gun or pistol would not be acceptable.

    It reminds me of the old Justifier guns from Konami for Lethal Enforcers.  They just need to come in pink and blue, one for each sex (yes that's why they were those colors).

    Stick with the Nerf one, it can be used as a Nerf gun when you're not playing the game.

    Well since the Australian OFLC doesn't have an 18+ rating, you Aussies often get M-17 games at 15+ with minor or no cuts. For the youngsters, that's a great thing. However at $100+ AUD each, you guys are still getting the shit end of the deal.
