Hi everyone,

Have you noticed that I seem to apologize a lot for how long videos have taken to post, usually followed by something about how said video was the most complex and involved production I've undertaken to date? Well, uh, here we go again. 


Seriously, though, this episode concerns Duck Hunt, but the first half of its 14-plus-minute run time consists of a recap of historical and cultural factors that set the stage for the popularity of such an unassuming little game. Most episodes don't lend themselves to this sort of commentary, but this episode and Wild Gunman definitely represent the ideal of what I hope to accomplish with this series. 


Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. Golf next week!

Good Nintentions #005: Duck Hunt [Nintendo, 1985]

The game that convinced Nintendo that, yeah, bringing the NES to America would be a good idea arrives at last: Duck Hunt, the iconic shooting game. It's simplistic and goofy by today's standards, but Duck Hunt didn't succeed despite those traits... it succeeded BECAUSE of them.
