Playable at show floor! (why wasn't this shown during the conference?)

*joygasm*

That's awesome. About damn time.

Now where the hell is my SSB?

Awesome! Now get me Wild Gunmen!

This also bodes well for more surprise announcements today, such as my damn Kid Icarus! Perhaps by Namco...their list says 'Action title'.

I believe that the new Duck Hunt and Track and Field will probably be a part of the Nintendo Sports game in the end.

It makes perfect sense. A whole lot of simple party games in one package with a Sports theme.

I think that would be sweet.

That Track & Field clip from the conference was a clip from WarioWare, I believe.

UncleBob · « **Reply #5 on:** May 10, 2006, 06:12:15 AM »

That was my understanding of it.

Awesome. I think Nintendo's (slightly) odd conference yesterday is now explainable: they didn't want to have one. What they really wanted to do was let everyone just get on the floor and play. Their concern is proving the controller, not giving the info. Thus these surprises today!

On topic, yay! I do hope it goes in as a pack in. Awesomeness.

Honestly, I don't understand how ppl expect SSB at launch when they just began work on it recently (remember when the news broke that they had JUST recruited the guy who did SSB:M to come back and do the Revo version? That was not so long ago). I mean, I'm a bit PO'ed that it's not on time either but this was sort of like launching the PS3 in the summer (in other words, not happening).

AHHHHH...anyways Duck Hunt: I feel like it should be part of Wii Sports and that Wii Sports should be packed-in.

isn't hunting ducks illegal thee days

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #9 on:** May 10, 2006, 06:57:26 AM »

Stealing cars and shooting people are illegal. Even if you were right, what would be your point?

ThePerm · « **Reply #10 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:05:49 AM »

they should have Dick Cheney's Duck Hunt

18 Days · « **Reply #11 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:06:33 AM »

It's tasteless and not enjoyable in any way. I can't believe you guys are getting excited over a duck hunting game! Do ducks shoot back? No. Boring.

YOUR SSB?!?

I'm surprised we haven't seen more light gun games out for the Wii. The main barrier for light gun games is the fact that no one wants to spent the money on an additional peripheral.

With the wiimote, every Rev owner already likely has several light guns.

Oh get out, I hear you like to pretend Smash Brothers is street fighter. Smash Bros Wii isn't for you.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:33:08 AM »

Yes, Zelda = Chun Li, DK = Zangief, Link = Ken.

I will WTFPWN you with my Street Fighter skins when this game goes online.

I eat ducks.

..and sometimes I want to eat giggling dogs.

"IGN has learned that Nintendo will be showing a gun peripheral for the Nintendo Wii in conjunction with the "new generation" Duck Hunt sequel. Allegedly, the device will work along with the Wii-mote to create the classic feel of the original NES classic, although there is still a chance of an entire "stand-alone" unit. We have yet to go hands-on with the peripheral, but will be sure to add impressions and media when the chance arrives."

Ummm... why? Isn't that what the Wii-mote is for? Doesn't including that seem to take away some of the point of the controller in the first place?

sparkling innovation

joedick · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:48:31 AM »

I don't really find this news exciting at all. I mean, maybe as a mini game, but on its own? No thanks. If it's part of the sports pack, as somebody suggested, that would be alright.

anubis6789 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:52:44 AM »

I read that too Arbok, and wondered the exact same thing.

It makes me wonder if this isn't some joke brought about by IGN, kind of like their April Fools Day joke a year ago for the GBA where Duck Hunt and Gyromight became part of the NES classics. Each also had a smaller version of thier respective peripherals (the Zapper and R.O.B for those who do not know).

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #21 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:56:19 AM »

Arbok: The controller is only useful as a pointer if there's a cursor on screen, which pretty much destroys all the fun and challenge of a game like Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, or Time Crisis. A gun peripheral would have an actual gunsight on it with which to aim.

actually, Nintendo announced the game one year ago, although I don't really know when actual development started (later than that, june/july maybe?)

18 Days · « **Reply #23 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:01:51 AM »

I recall an interview with HAL Labs where they said they were completely caught off gaurd by Iwata's comments and development started that day. First design feature: online.

Last time Iwata phoned me up I asked him about it and he just said "lol i didn't even know what games we were making so I just said off the first one that came to my head."

RickPowers · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2006, 09:18:14 AM »

I have a feeling (though I'm sure we'll know shortly) that this was a miscommunication. Duck Hunt is probably the NES version running on the Virtual Console, using the Wii controller to emulate the Zapper.

If that's the case, screw that ... I want Hogan's Alley.
