Love NERF? Love shooters? The NERF 2: "N-Strike" Elite is the second game in EA's blaster arsenal following the holiday '08 hit, NERF "N-Strike" in North America, which was EA's second best-selling Wii game and a Top 20 Wii title in 2008 by revenue, according to NPD.

NERF 2: N-Strike Elite game will come bundled with a new and improved NERF Switch Shot EX-3 blaster. Like the previous version, the blaster will house the Wiimote inside to let you use it with the game or use outside. Also, there is an attachable "NERF decoder scope" that'll let you detect enemy weak spots, decode secret messages, and uncover other hidden gameplay elements.

No word on a price yet, but this bundle should drop this Fall.
