Famicom Dojo Podcast: Zombi Wii U

by Sean "TheOrange" Corse, filed in Famicom Dojo Podcast, Podcasts on Feb.22, 2013

Rayman Legends is ready to ship for Wii U, but now won’t be released until multi-platform versions are ready. Wii U sales are down, but if games aren’t coming out that people want to buy, who’s to blame? Nintendo is offering a Wii U bundle with Ubisoft’s ZombiU (and Nintendo Land, AND a Pro Controller), but is it too little too late? Vinnk and Sean try and suss out Ubisoft’s strategy, and discuss what Nintendo can do today to get people to buy Wii U without dropping the price. (*COUGH*Wii U Virtual Console!*COUGH*)

In regards to the NES Zapper not working with the A/V Famicom, you are correct in mentioning that it does not work. However, the reason for it not working isn’t due to software changes (such as in 4-player games, as you mentioned). The software for the Zapper games are identical across regions (well, for the “classic” Zapper games, at least).

The reason it doesn’t work is due to wiring differences in the two systems. In the NES, two of the pins for the player 2 control port are wired up to what is essentially the NES’s version of the expansion port (as I understand it). In the A/V Famicom, these two pins are not wired up to the expansion port. Via a simple hardware mod (just two wires), you can have the NES zapper working with the A/V Famicom.
