The last couple of years have seen arcade ports make their way almost entirely to the Sony systems, with stuff like Ninja Assault and the Time Crisis series being made for the PS2 and PS3 systems, with the occasional title, like House of the Dead, making its way to the Xbox. At least the GameCube was ignored in this area, but the Nintendo Wii is certainly picking up the slack this generation. This title, Nerf N-Strike Elite, fits the mold of a lightgun shooter that's intended for kids rather than adults. It's also a follow-up to the previous Nerf title on the Wii, and once again, it comes packed in with its own Nerf gun. It's a little gimmicky, but you'd be surprised at how well it functions for a lightgun accessory, especially when compared to Nintendo's Zapper peripheral."
Ex: Toys R Us is hosting a two day sale that includes deals and specials on video games that includes all three versions of Halo: Reach, the Nintendo Wii and some ridiculously low prices on Tony Hawk: Ride and DJ Hero. These deals end on September 25 though so if you better grab them quick if you are interested.

"Ok, let's start by defining our brand."
"Really? Because you know we've been cranking these things out under the Nerf brand for quite a few years. Don't we have a pretty solid understanding of the appeal and target segments for the brand?'"
Amazon had discounted Nerf N-Strike Elite bundle for Nintendo Wii to under $40. This is $20 below retail and the lowest price available at this moment by $10. Bundle includes Nerf N-Strike video game and Nerf Switch Shot EX-3 Blaster that's compatible with this and many other shooting games for Nintendo Wii.
