Former Nintendo staffer explains why NES Zapper changed its name from the light gun

Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

The Nintendo NES Zapper was almost called the light gun. That’s according to Bruce Lowry, former Nintendo of America vice president of sales.

Lowry reflected in a recent interview how “the arcades were getting a very bad reputation” back in the day following some incidents, including one in which a kid pointed an arcade gun at police who thought it was a real weapon.

Breaking news, everyone: Pikachu does in fact poop. This piece of information was big enough for Pikachu to trend in Japan.

That massive lore tidbit comes from the series’ latest game, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. A specific NPC has his own Pikachu who’s apparently dealing with some stomach woes. The trainer essentially says he’s worried since Pikachu is pooping more than usual. The English localization goes a bit softer – the direct quote in that version is “My Pikachu’s been having tummy troubles recently. I’m worried…”
