Go on a Great American Bird Hunt with Mastiff
While we think of Mastiff as the publisher of random niche games like La Pucelle and Technic Beat (and the occasional more mainstream game like Moon), the publisher has started to carve out a little empire in Wii outdoor sports games, with Deer Drive, Shimano Xtreme Fishing and now Remington Great American Bird Hunt. You can see some screens in our gallery below, and decide whether you'll be up for a Great American Bird Hunt with up to three friends next month.And now, we get to the real business of this post: the old, hilarious, but sadly unused box art for Ultimate Duck Hunting, which we're always in search of even the flimsiest excuse to post. You'll find it after the break.%Gallery-75330%
Hilarious Ultimate Duck Hunting video
Sure, Detn8's duck hunting game looks less-than-great, and the PC version garnered some very vehement ... well, we're hesitant to even call them reviews. Can videos of people laughing hysterically and mocking (whilst pointing) really be called reviews? Where's the line there?But speaking of wanton hilarity, this new Ultimate Duck Hunting video is somehow mesmerizing. We're pretty sure it's the music and the choppy, shouted commands. We got a kick out of it, and hope you will as well. Check it out after the jump.
How Ultimate is Ultimate Duck Hunting?
We aren't sure if Ultimate Duck Hunting is truly the last duck hunting game we'll need. Our requirements for duck hunting games are stringent, you see, and it would take a truly robust and deep duck hunting game to fill the spot of the decisive duck hunting game in our collection. We wonder if the game will really be the authoritative work the title claims it will be.We're actually kidding about the stringent requirements, and like most people, we consider the duck hunting genre well and truly filled since 1985. Have a look at some screens and decide for yourself if you should update your library of duck hunting video games.
Nintendogs beware: Ultimate Duck Hunting coming to Wii
Hang on! This isn't some modern Wii version of the NES classic, Duck Hunt. You see, this is Ultimate Duck Hunt-ing, which despite featuring ducks in the process of being hunted, is not to be confused with Nintendo's own and entirely dissimilar Duck Hunt. Right, so Ultimate Duck Hunting is a game in which the player presumably hunts ducks, possibly in the presence of an adorable dog that every so often gets in the way of your deadly rifle shotgun. Just so we're clear on that.Pro-G reports that Ultimate Duck Hunting will be the first foray into gaming for new publisher Detn8 (oh, as in detonate!). It's not entirely certain what has prompted the release of the game -- it's either based on a dubious attempt to cash in on a similar, popular brand (is it really?), or the misguided belief that there's an untapped desire among gamers to hunt ducks on their consoles. We'll find out which one it is when the game releases in the US this June and in Europe towards the end of the year.
Ultimate Duck Hunting quacks its way onto the Wii
While most of you have probably been enjoying the Duck Hunt minigame in Wii Play, Detn8 Games is seeking to bring you a more fleshed-out and authentic experience when they release Ultimate Duck Hunting on the Wii. We assume the Ultimate comes from the inclusion of some kind of Xtreme beverage (or perhaps you ride on a snowboard while hunting these ducks?). Co-founder Jeff Hill reveals that players will be able to virtually hunt digital ducks come June this year in the US, with the ducks finally migrating to the UK during Q4 of this year. Nothing more is revealed on this title, but we hope, nay pray, there is a sniveling, giggling dog in the game that we get to shoot in the face.
