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.
