"Classic" FMV-based arcade gunslinger Mad Dog McCree is coming to the 3DS eShop in North America on 14th June for $7.99.
The handheld port will include remastered footage, though we very much doubt it's been post-processed into 3D, so expect the heads-up display to be your only taste of stereoscopic glory.
Here's the trailer. Now where's our spittoon?

Listen, Nintendo. When I said I wanted more eshop games I didn't mean this...
Looks very retro
if it had a online showdown,it still wouldnt be worth this much
and i realised that music is from undead storm trailer
So I'm assuming that you poke the screen with your stylus to aim/shoot your gun?
It looks so very ugly...
If it wasn't so badly looking I would think about it but.. nah..
just give me Zombie Panic In Wonderland 3DS
EDIT: @JuLeDos
You do realise Nintendo is not this games publisher?
Well.. Can't say I'm really excited lol
Oh I'm def getting. Just for nostalgia's sake (in my case) as I remember this game when it was first released. Haha - good ole Mad Dog! D:
I'm excited. This looks great! You dont see games of this quality anymore. definately gonna be a great game.
I used to have this on my old 3DO... Day one buy for me... Gotta love nostalgia!
Thissssssss is going to be a strange one. Thats for sure.
Doesn't the Wiiware service already have a game like this?
NEXT
I think I may have played this before sometime in the past, but I'm not sure (I mean it can't be the only arcade light-gun western, right...)
Watch out for.......MAD DOG!!! Dies
I watched some of this streamed on BL. It was hilarious, but not something I'd want to play.
@JuLeDoS Beggers can't be choosers.
I will wait for a review. Hope this doesn't ruin the odds of VC coming that week. I was hoping Cave Story + would be there... Maybe next week instead?
Dahaha, wow. That looks awful, but I want to buy it anyway
@Mickeymac: Same here, except for the bit about not wanting to play it. It just looks like something I'd enjoy a lot, even if it's completely ridiculous. There's no way I'm getting it for the 3DS, though. If I'm getting it, it'll definitely be for the Wii.
This looks awesome. Love FMV games.
I realize Nintendo isn't publishing this, but my God. Why did they have to let this on the eshop?
@JuLeDoS Because some people might buy it? Because, you know, not everyone bases their standards around what JuLeDoS likes?
Wow! This game even brought @Sneaker13 outside the saloon! I haven't seen him post anything on NLife, for what seems like ages. What brings you to these here parts?
I never had the chance to play this game before, but I did have a ton of fun with another old-school FMV PC title. Do any of you guys remember a game from the early 90's titled, "Crime Patrol"?
Actually Looks fun.......
This is what happens when Digital Leisure goes on OUR eShop.
@Shotgunryugan, you're thinking of the WiiWare title, "Fast Draw Showdown". Which I don't believe is the same game.
@G4L i pretty sure they had this on disc
I found the WiiWare game to be a fun diversion in an extremely cheezy sort of way, and this one has a story mode, so it might be worth getting.
God this takes me back. If I had the $ I'd get it for sure.
I'm getting it just for the fun of it. I like Westerns.
Maybe so @dark-insanity, but @Shotgunryugan was referring to Wiiware and not retail. Must somebody always try to contradict everything I mention?
So I assume this is the "the license owner really needs to pay his bills" edition of the game?
@mickeymac I'm just saying the audience for this game is somewhat limited. But I still may get it because I like to try every eshop game.
Those graphics look amazing. They almost look like real people.
Oh dear, I remember this game lol. Wouldn't it be super-easy since you see where you're shooting with the stylus though?
@G4L Yes sir. From American Laser Games I remember Mad Dog I and II, Crime Patrol I and II, Who Shot Johnny Rock? And Space Pirates (a true "gem").
Boy am I glad that FMV games died...
@SquiggleTail, they are real people. lol
@SquiggleTail if those was graphics,i think major devlopers would want help from these guys.
I'm getting this S*** but I'm still not getting Wario Land? Yeah, great move Nintendo.... what were they thinking?!?!!
There is an arcade in yarmouth, where you can still play this!! when I played mad dog as a 10 year old, it would been a wild dream to play on a hand held! all we had back then was games in black and green!
What was good enough to release on the 3DO is good enough to release on the 3DS, apparently.
The Wii retail version was horrible. One of the worst I've played on the system. The wiiware, fast draw game was actually quite good! If it is anything like that, I'll DL it for sure
@G4L, I have been pretty busy (just got my own place). But I always try to visit the site to keep up to date.
Hmmm...I thinking about getting this. Might be kinda fun on the 3DS
Remember watchin Taco Man the Game Master doing a video about this game. Man, it looked awful. xD
I love how they try to make it look epic, and it makes it look even dumber.
This game is muy excellente. You have to understand what it's going for. Ever been to an amusement park or something and they have a Wild West show? It's not meant to be ultra realistic. Just fun and exciting. This game pulls that off
Holy , those graphics are AMAZING!!
I remembered when this first came out. This should have been hit with a lower price tag.
@Rargon It's full motion video, not graphics at all (well other than the various status bar type things).
@BulbasaurusRex That was the joke...
@Rargon,
This joke was funnier the first 5 times on the board and without the expletive.
Fun game. $8 seems a wee bit pricey for a port. Guess FMV is one piece of tech that isn't cheap 20 tears later
I am also old enough to remember when this was first released. For a kid, it was every bit as impressive as Dragon's Lair.
Still, it is better suited to Wii and not 3DS. On duels, you have to point the gun down until prompted, trying to simulate that the gun is in your holster, and I don't see how they are going to convert that to the stylus.
