Hasbro flaunted its full upcoming Nerf line at Toy Fair, including additional information about the legendary Nerf Wii blaster exposed this past week. No more merely a photograph and a lot of casual conjecture, the Nerf-branded Wii peripheral device today bears a name and even more valuable inside information.

The Nerf Wii blaster is officially named the Switch Shot EX-3, and is part of the Nerf N-Strike line of blasters. The Switch Shot EX-3 operates both as a Wii remote control Zapper-like gun computer peripheral and a Nerf dart blaster, thanks to a extractable dart module that snaps into the remote slot. The bottom half of the gun barrel stores two more Nerf darts, and accommodates an Nerf N-Strike accessory rail. Although it does not come with any accessories, the Switch Shot's N-strike rail makes it compatible with the Nerf Recon blaster's red dot sight or the individually distributed N-Strike tactical light. The Nerf Switch Shot EX-3 is scheduled to ship in autumn 2008, and will sell for approximately $13-15. The blaster will also be shipped with the forthcoming Nerf N-Strike game for the Wii, although Hasbro has not declared final pricing or boxing as yet. EA and Hasbro are likewise building a Nerf N-strike game for the Nintendo DS, although it is not even known if it will ship with the Switch Shot blaster.

Hasbro also flaunted the Nerf Vulcan EBF-25. Although it does not double as a Wii accessory, the Vulcan jumped out as one of the most extreme examples of Nerf warfare until now. The Vulcan is a tripod-mounted, motorized Nerf machine gun that utilises an ammunition belt and storage package to shoot up to twenty-five Nerf darts on a single load. It operates on six 'D' batteries, and also boasts an N-strike clip for employing additional tactical lights, scopes, or sights. The Vulcan already appears to be a frightening Nerf gun, but its mechanized system and swiveling tripod practically pray for a few aggressive toy modders to bore, cut, and solder along a few servo motors and construct their very own Nerf sentry turret. The Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 ships in autumn 2008, with a retail price of forty bucks.
