Post Reply New Topic

Nintendo has finally christened Duck Hunt (NES) for a release on Wii U.
You will be to go on a classic duck shooting spree on Christmas day in North America (EU and Japan get it next week too).

For those who wish to shoot the laughing dog, you must find the arcade version or play the new Smash Bros.

Also to celebrate Mega Man birthday, Capcom has put Mega Man 2-4 (Gameboy) and Mega Man 5 - 7 (NES - Wii U) on sale as well

Other sales are happening too starting today in North America.

For those who have Deluxe Wii Us, the Digital Deluxe Program (DDP) ends with the year.
Those if you plan on buying anything digital, you should get it done to accrue reward certificates.

I always loved that dog, he added alot of personality to that game, and that game was an absolute classic. It and really the NES as a whole wouldnt have been the same without him.

In Smash I havent used him all that much yet... my main is Bowser, and I've only started messing with a few other characters beyond him. Yeah, I've played the series as a whole to death, but this is still a whole new game, so I'm going into each character slowly. Eventually I'll learn to use every character at least decently, but that takes awhile.

The actual Duck Hunt game on that console though.... ehhhhh. I always liked that game alot way back when, and playing it NOW is a monstrous pain in the butt because of TV changes, but... at the same time, I *really* dont want to have to use the Wiimote. For anything. Ever. Heck, the only reason I even have one of the accursed things is because the Classic controller... which I need for a variety of reasons... cant be used without one. The Classic though ends up being the only bit that DOES get used; the Wiimote just sits on the floor while I use that.

Still, I almost may give it a go anyway, because it's friggin' Duck Hunt. Not sure.

Neh, frankly I always found the thing to be hideously inaccurate. Note that I have one of the old ones... I never gave enough of a damn to get one of the "motion plus" ones. Either way though, I get aggravated enough just using it to get through the main Wii menu.

Hm, in the end, probably not a purchase I should actually make. Irritating as it may be I can always just set the damn game up the old fashioned way. Which I might do now that it's on my mind.

Instead, I bought Mario Kart DLC. Which I'll try out later tonight.

Hopefully this means that there will be other games on the Virtual Console from the light-gun accessories that Nintendo has made themselves(Zapper, Super-Scope).
