That would be awesome.

The first computer game I remember playing as a kid.

Still needs an EU release.

I remember playing it at school when I was younger,and it actually made me look forward to the school week :3

@Rukiafan23 Yeah, I also remember this title from my elementary school days. Along with Math Munchers, Duke Nukem and this one educational typing game, which I can't remember the title of. I hope this version has better graphics and is illustrated better though. I can already see the WiiMotion capabilities being applied to the hunting aspect. It would be awesome if it had WFC capabilities, so you and your fellow frontiersman could establish a private caravan together. I wonder how realistic the statistics will be, I hated becoming ill every other hundred miles for some reason or another. I'm eager to see how this franchise has evolved from so far back when, it will definitely take a spot on my wishlist. I'm guessing this will be priced somewhere in the $30-$40 dollar range. Although It'll have to be pretty damn awesome to peel $40 out of my pocket.

So is this really going to happen or just maybe?

Gamefaqs release schedule is quite accurate so I think it's very likely

Is this version being produced by The Learning Company, like the originals were?

I hope they use the hunting mechanics of the PC version, where you have a first-person perspective and point-and-click at your targets (easily replicated with the Wiimote pointer). The interesting part is that the bullets take time to travel from the bottom-center of the screen to where you clicked (similar to Missile Command), so you have to lead your shots accordingly. It's incredibly unrealistic, but it adds a good amount of fun and challenge to the event.

No it's being developed and published by SVG distribution
