With the Wii Blaster/Zapper attachment still in accessory limbo, a new light gun mod for the Nintendo Wii has surfaced. Piranha Accessories is currently offering the W14 Piranha "Shooting Gun" for the Nintendo Wii.

Piranha has deviated from the shotgun-y flavor of the Joytech light gun and has come up with a more compact handgun design. The light gun has a rubber coating for extra grip and also has a real trigger, which adds to Piranha's whole "realistic design" marketing point. The picture quality's kinda bad, but it looks like a suitable accessory for use in the upcoming Resident Evil games for the Wii.

Oddly enough for a website that's supposed to promote products, the Piranha website doesn't seem to list a price tag for the light gun. Actually, we couldn't find a price for any of their products. A release list from Gameshop Twente lists the W14's price as €19.99 (US $27), though.

Tipster Grannd sends us some sad news from the Netherlands about the Wii launch in The Hague. A less than stellar delivery to Gameshop, one of the game stores there, has prompted the store to not sell any Wii units or accessories, at least for now.

While Gameshop's website is in Dutch, Grannd manage to give us the gist of the issue. Nintendo seems to have promised the Gameshop stores 600 units, and around 400 pre-orders were made by people based on that assumption.

The problem comes when, as Grannd tells us, "a week ahead of the release, Nintendo told Gameshop that they could only deliver 10 (!) Wiis". Since Gameshop has three stores, that means three units per store, and 390 customers feeling very annoyed, not to mention the folks at Gameshop who'll have to work with the customer service nightmare this might entail. As a result of this, Gameshop opted not to sell their units, nor offer any accessories or games for the console.

While some of you might be thinking that something of that sort is unfair for the store to do, you can also see why they're doing this temporary boycott of sorts. Who wouldn't be rather annoyed at only finding out a week before launch of something like this? Perhaps the problems of next-gen launches have taught them the value of sticking to their guns, even if their own customers don't agree with the methods. Waiting for Nintendo to actually send them the goods they asked for seems safer than fans fighting over a console, at least.

If any of you folks know Dutch, we'd appreciate a translation of Gameshop's statement at the source link. Translation sites can only do so much, you know.
