There’s a logical excuse why Nintendo doesn’t release certain back catalog titles for Wii VC. We’ve heard everything from lack of public interest in or my favorite: too much effort for too little cash.
I can totally understand those points and they’re valid. But, even the casual Wii VC gamer and slightest bit retro-gaming fan has to agree that there are just some titles that belong on Wii VC. It’s inexcusable that these select few classics haven’t found their way onto Wii VC yet.
Duck Hunt, is one of them.
Forget that it was a friggin’ pack-in game when you bought the popular NES Action set, which included NES, two game-pads, and the Zapper (first grey, then bright orange). Even negate the fact that Nintendo promoted Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros, side-by-side in arcade form all over the country.
All things held aside, there’s just no reason why Duck Hunt doesn’t exist on a console with an IR pointer as it’s primary control method.
No, I’m not talking some cheap knock-off, wanna-be Duck Hunt, but the real McCoy.
Where is it? Nintendo+Pointer equals classic Nintendo light-gun games, no? Nope. Simply put and in codish: “!=”.
Even priced at 800 Wii Points for an NES title, this is a game (along with Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley, and any other fine NES Zapper title I may have missed) that has a natural home on Wii.

Too much logical sense, I guess.
For now, we can only imagine…
