Ultimate Duck Hunting – Nintendo Wii
January 4, 2008 – 3:11 pmWhen I was a kid, I can clearly remember when my best friend across the street got one of the first Nintendo’s on the block. He got it for his birthday, and it was the first time I had seen it. I can even remember the robot that came with it (many can’t since it disappeared over time since it was useless). But I also remember playing Duck Hunt for the Original Nintendo. From the start you just had to question it’s accuracy. Remember pointing the opposite direction and a duck would fall??? Either it was a perfect bounce off the wall (which isn’t possible by the way) or the game lacked realism….fast forward about 20 years to the Nintendo Wii of today.
Ultimate Duck Hunting for the Nintendo Wii is out. And right away I can’t help but notice how similar it is to the original. I am a duck hunter myself, so I was expecting something a little more real as only the Wii has brought out in gaming today. Needless to say at first watch I was disappointed. But Ultimate Duck Hunting is still what it is, a carnival shoot. The accuracy these days is very close so the chance for a competitive nature is still there. I’m sure the animal rights groups hate the game…so for that reason I will say I give it a thumbs up! (hard to agree on anything with the other extreme)
If I had a 1 out of 10 rating, I would give the Nintendo Wii Ultimate Duck Hunting a 7 out of 10 (giving a bit extra since I support waterfowling). You can play Ultimate Duck Hunting as long as you have what is compatible with the Nintendo Wii. And if you search hard enough, you’ll see the free duck hunting game version out there on the web.
