Komodo Buckshot pics

The other day I posted about Komodo's Buckshot gun shell for the Wii, and they were nice enough to send me some images.  It looks about as I expected--a plastic case that you slide the Wii remote into, that also has the functions, buttons and analog stick of the Nunchuk.  It also looks just like, well, a mini SPAS 12.  Pretty fierce for a Wii peripheral.  I'm more eager than ever to go hands-on with one of these babies, although with all that plastic covering up the remote I wonder how you access the D-pad and other buttons.  The slide and trigger access the B and A buttons respectively, and that will probably work great for rail shooters like House of the Dead, but for something like The Conduit you'll need to use a few more buttons.  I'm also curious to see if it has the Nunchuk's acceleromter.  All the more reason to keep an eye on this intriguing peripheral.
