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.

Link’s Crossbow Training should start appearing on South African shelves this October. The game will retail at R349, a fairly reasonable price tag considering it comes bundled with the Wii Zapper.

The Wii Zapper is a gun-like apparatus that the Wii Remote and Nunchuk fit snugly inside (with the Nunchuk’s chord wrapped safely inside a handy compartment). The latest accessory from Nintendo allows you to play arcade style games in your living room.

The Wii Remote slides on top of the gun, the barrel as it were, while the Nunchuk forms the gun handle. There is a grip beneath the barrel for your right hand, while your left hand wraps around the lower handle and the Nunchuk.

Set in the Hyrule realm from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, this shooting-gallery-style game sees players stepping into the shoes of hero Link to guide him through a series of crossbow shooting tasks.

The Wii Zapper is also compatible with various other Wii games including Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Medal of Honour Heroes 2 and House of the Dead 2 & 3 Returns.
