Link's Crossbow Training

CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com looks at Link's Crossbow Training's game-play hours reported, number of players reporting data, sale rank, and review score average. CwG says, Does Link practice enough with his crossbow and have enough hours reported, to prove a steady hand? Or is Link's crossbow training more of a hobby, not to be taken seriously?

Earlier in the week we brought you tidings of a listing for Link's Crossbow Training surfacing on Nintendo's website. Yesterday at the launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl we got the scoop on when the game will officially arrive here and how much we can expect to pay.

According to Nintendo's website, South African gamers will soon get the chance to try out the Wii Zapper when Link's Crossbow Training hits our shelves this month.

Link's Crossbow Training may have launched way back in November of last year, but today, an Iwata Asks interview of the game has been posted on the official Wii website. The Iwata Asks interviews typically consist of interviewing key members of a particular first-party title. In this case, only Shigeru Miyamoto was interviewed, but interesting facts were presented. First off, Miyamoto explained that originally, Miyamoto posed the idea of the game being in the third-person perspective. However, once the idea of a young/adult Link concept came into play, a third-person perspective seemed to be the best idea. Also noteworthy is that Link's Crossbow Training was decided instead of the typical The Legend of Zelda:¿ title so that gamers would not be mislead into thinking that the game is an original, grand-scale Zelda title. Link's Crossbow Training was initially going to receive a storyline, but Miyamoto's intention was to create a side-story to Twilight Princess with this game, not an epic game - Thus, the concept of including a storyline was scrapped.

Nov 28, 2007 As you should have noticed by now, the on-screen cursor for the Wii Remote does not appear directly where you're pointing it at the sensor bar. Lift the Remote to your eye and look down the length of it at your TV - like a gun - and you'll see what we mean. This is because there's no calibration screen. How does the Wii know when you're pointing at the edge of your TV? It doesn't, because it doesn't know how big your TV is. So instead it scales your movements roughly, like a 3D

Nintendo's Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training hit retailers this week. The Wii Zapper is Nintendo's answer to the light gun peripheral, by configuring the Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuk with it.

The Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training retails for $24.99.

Oct 15, 2007 Link's getting an unusual airing this November thanks to Link's Crossbow Training, a tie-in game that comes packaged with Nintendo's new gun-imitating Wii Zapper, and we've let loose the first screens in our updated gallery. That's about all there is to say about the game, until we get our digits on it. Ideally, it'll be a Duck Hunt for the MySpace generation, and by the looks of this screen, Link's Crossbow Training at least has a sense of humour. Expect a verdict

Nintendo has released further details on Link's Crossbow Training, confirming that the game is meant as a hand-holding exercise into using the Wii Zapper so that players will be ready for any future Wii titles compatible with the device - exactly the same strategy they used with Wii Play and the Wii Remote. The title will feature three gameplay modes for up to four players: Target Shooter, Defender and Ranger.
