Get your hunting rifle, boots and trusty Labrador retriever: It is duck hunting season on the Nintendo Wii. Detn8 Games announces its first title for the Wii called Ultimate Duck Hunting. For those of you who would rather hunt than frag this game might be for you. The game is due out in July, but for now enjoy the screenshots they sent over.

Well, we are up to day 3 here. The format is pretty well established by now. We are taking a look at forty of the most ridiculous covers ever to 'grace' the cover of a video game box. This marks our halfway point in our list. Tune in tomorrow and we will have our last ten.

Out of the two notorious Disney rip-off games to appear on the PS2 - the other being Animal Soccer World - this game is the more Satanic of the two evils. I mean wow, look at the extremely bad character models. Wait, can you EVEN call them "models"? Escaped souls from the River Styx possessing mannequins sounds about right. This is making my head hurt.
These characters were the reason that some games were hard or caused many a controller to be smashed to pieces. They either impeded our progress through their stupidity or laughed at our misfortune. We couldn’t ice them and we were bound by their lack of respect for out gaming experience. While these games wouldn’t have been the same without these memorable characters, they were the cause of incredible irritation and aggravation - most notably in the form of the dreaded escort quests.

Pikachu - oh how I want to strangle that little thing
Mario - shove him down the toilet with a plunger I will
Peach - shove her in a closet for being used so many times I will
Kratos - oh wait you can't kill the god of war
Diddy kong - for feeling like a tacked on sidekick
I'll come up with more later

Massacring through a mall of zombies is hard enough but when some idiot keeps calling you every few seconds you want to start Massacring him instead
or doesn't know that you can blast the dog from Duck Hunt halfway to Hades if you play the arcade version. I have no idea why Nintendo took out the Bonus Rounds of the arcade versions when they put them out on the NES. It was the same hardware. The results screen from Excitebike was made worse for the home version too. (I loved the bonus round on Excitebike too.)
Ultimate Duck Hunting is a terrible game that Diehard GameFAN wouldn't even use for a coaster. In fact, the only way you'll get your money's worth out of this disc is if you use both the disc and the case for target practice. They will grant that the idea of training a hunting dog and using it to recover your kills is a neat idea, but it goes exactly nowhere. Whether you're a hunter in real life or wondering what it would be like to hunt animals, stay away from this game.
the wii sucks.... lol
Now the wii is revealing it's true colors.
eeeeeewwwwww that looks like dog vomit
Yay Duck hunting. I want the laughing dog to pop up so I can shoot him if its realistic!!!!
Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the Duck Hunt sequel I think everyone was/is waiting for, but is instead a duck-hunting simulator. I want the whimsical style of the original Duck Hunt, complete with the laughing dog that makes you want to shoot him too. Realism doesn't always make for a better game.
