Link's Crossbow Training trailer hits the mark

We have no idea why Nintendo decided to use house music for this Link's Crossbow Training trailer, but if it bothers you that much, you could always just turn down the volume on the Flash video player and make "pew pew" noises, like we did, to go along with the action instead.

The minute-long clip has a lot of scenes recognizable from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but they've been refitted to accomodate the new Wii Zapper and Link's mounted bow. You'll be able to shoot birds flying overhead, Duck Hunt style, and gun down a line of Stalfoses in the pack-in game's three different modes; let's just hope that this synth-heavy song won't be included on the soundtrack when the bundle shows up at stores this November 19th.

Looks like it could be good. For $20 I'll definitely pick it up.

This game is going to be real good and even at twenty dollars it will be decent.

How many people do you think are going to get shot or mistakenly electrocuted with the zapper?

'Hey Honey, we just killed a bunch of zombies!"

I know, let's make out!"

I feel like the advertising team needs to reassess where groups of people laughing and playing a game is relevant to the advertised game.

Yes:
Wii Sports
Wii Play
any of the million mini-games

No:
MP:3
RE:4
real games?

Just my 2 cents...
