Because Nintendo was the first gaming company to come up with a viable
hunting game, they were considered not only the innovators of this
genre, but the rulers of it as well. With the original Nintendo system
– pedantic by today’s standards – gamers were excited at the prospect
of using a laser gun to hunt down their prey via a video game console.
We felt it truly necessary that we give you a brief history of the
Nintendo video game console system along with its history in order to
give you a true view of what this company has done for the video game
hunting industry as well. Even though Duck Hunting was the first
commercially popular hunting video game, the truth is that, most of
Nintendo’s first video games were geared toward hunting enthusiasts.
The first hunting video game for the Nintendo gaming console came out
in 1973. It was called Laser Clay Shooting System and was followed in
1976 by Shooting Trainer and Wild Gunman.
1980 saw the release of Radar Scope and then in 1984, Duck Hunt and an
updated version of Wild Gunman came out. The final hunting game
released for the basic Nintendo system was in 1990 and was called
Barker Bill’s Trick Shooting. While it wasn’t exactly a hunting game,
it was a shooting game that hunters absolutely loved!
There were fewer hunting games released with the Super Nintendo. In
fact, we could only find two: Super Scope 6 and Wario’s Woods. However,
the old games for Nintendo could be played on the Super Nintendo system
too.
In 1996, Killer Instinct Gold was released for the Nintendo 64, and
Animal Crossing for the Game Cube came out in 2002. Nintendo expects to
release an updated version of Animal Crossing for the Wii sometimes in
2008.
There is no telling exactly where Nintendo will be able to progress in
the future. Technology is always evolving and their video games will
continue to evolve as well.
One of the best parts of the Nintendo Wii system is that some of the
old Nintendo game disks are able to be played on the Wii system.
However, you don’t get the full Wii experience. That, perhaps, is the
most appealing part of the Nintendo Wii is the ability to be able to
actually be able to be put into the game.
