Topic: Duck Hunt

The NES classic is returning, does anyone dare to get laughed at while hunting?

I'm actually happy to see this coming to WiiU the NES version's light gun is so inaccurate, not to mention noisy.

I'll be happily upgrading.

Play on a small TV and you'll go far.

I wish this would come out on the 3DS VC but you use a stylus to play...that or possibly tilt the 3DS.

Cool, looking forward to it. Been wanting this since the Wii days.

Whaaat? This wasn't on the European direct. A new game, or via the VC?

man this opens up a few doors. i hope we receive the other light gun games.

Through the VC. Wii Remote required, of course.

EDIT: It's technically VC, but some could argue that it's a sort-of remake because they'll have to add a reticle of some sort for aiming. But Nintendo is calling it VC.

original duck hunt with wiimote

The first Zapper game they release on the VC. Always thought it would be easy to do since the Wii Remote IR pointer works similar to the NES Zapper. And now I want Wild Gunman too.

That's awesome. I still think I have that Wii Zapper thing that came out the same time Link's Crossbow training.

It was announced on the U.S direct, so expect it to come out on their VC first.

Alright guys pick out your gun!

I saw it on the European direct, right after the Smash Bros. trailer with the Dog...

I wonder if Taito will update the Wii VC NES version of Operation Wolf. I was so dissapointed the Wiimote support never happened on the Wii VC.

I didn't see the Direct. Was an on-screen targeting reticule confirmed? Whether they are, or not, they don't have to. The only reason they would, is b/c of the changing in difference in pointing accuracy. It's possible that a Wiimote could easily mis-aim, despite the player aiming in the general direction. The difference is in going from a photoeye that "sees" only black/white, then tells the game, which decides hit/miss, to instead a system of pointer tracking, & the game (itself) deciding hit/miss based on location of pointer @ time of pressing fire, rather than white/black check. It all really depends on how Nintendo chooses to program the emulator, & game; more appropriately, the Zapper functionality. The "Zapper" could be accomplish @ least 2 different ways.

Can we please use the original thread right here to continue this discussion?

I dont feel like repeating myself in two threads about the same thing.
