EA's Nerf N-Strike is Nerf onscreen and off [update]

by JC Fletcher { Feb 13th 2008 at 9:45AM }

EA's deal with Hasbro is starting to bear fruit, with announcements of Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf N-Strike games on the DS and Wii. The press release revealing these games has something wonderful buried within it that instantly upgrades Nerf N-Strike from "nondescript licensed game" to "please tell us more":

"With the brand new custom Nerf blaster, players can then take the action outside as their controller transforms to fire actual Nerf darts!"

Take that, Wii Zapper (and by that, we mean a barrage of Nerf darts). The Nerf Wiimote shell was nice, but this is how you integrate the squishy weapons with waggling. The new Wii Crotch Missile is the perfect companion piece to the Wii Crotch Bat!

[Update: thanks to Shacknews, we can now gaze upon the Wii Nerf gun. It's amazing.]

Nerf guns are about as interesting to me as an average twig.

Never cared for them...

All I can imagine is the guys sitting around the conference table coming up with this. "You know what would be frickin' sweet? If it was a wiimote gun and, get this, you take out the wiimote and it fires frickin' nerf darts." And then everyone dances.
