The Ultimate Duck Hunting Video Games for PC and Gaming Systems

Top 3 Duck Hunting Video Games

Christopher Reed
Duck hunting is a fun pass-time for many Americans across the United States and abroad. Some find interest in training their companion, enjoy the act of using a duck call to attract the game, or simply sitting back in a blind and enjoying some good family friendly fun. To help during the off-season months, many video game systems have readily available games to hone in your duck hunting skills. Depending on your interest, you may find a more realistic duck hunting video game, or simply relax with a classic version which may not offer much in graphics or realistic features. If this sounds like fun to you, read on to see our list of the top 3 duck hunting games for the Wii, Nintendo, and PC.

Ultimate Duck Hunting Game for Nintendo Wii Gaming Console

Ultimate Duck Hunt is the most realistic of the duck hunting games. It offers the chance to train your dog, use duck calls, and is the best choice for the person who enjoys duck hunting as a hobby. The graphics are extremely well thought out and the game play tries to mimic the actual real life duck hunting experience. Duck hunting games may appeal to more than one audience and demographic, so if you prefer realistic scenario's this should be your top choice. Wii also produces the Wii Shotgun and Wii Shotgun Buzz which connects to the nunchuk to provide a more realistic experience.

The Original Duck Hunt For Nintendo (Classic NES)

The ultimate classic for any video game buff, Duck Hunt for NES has been a favorite for the younger audience who may not duck hunt in real life. The graphics are cheesy, and quite simplistic, though this game has been introduced to such a large audience that it can be classified as some as the top duck hunting game of all time. The NES comes with a gun which is used to shoot at the screen to manipulate the act of killing the duck. Don't expect anything fancy if your one of the few who've never played it, and you still need your old NES, but this game will continue on as a popular entertainment item in the video gaming industry.

Ultimate Duck Hunting for PC

There are some differences between Ultimate Duck Hunt for PC versus the Wii version. First, using the PC version allows those with a high-end graphics card to experience a richer graphics environment and enhanced visual manipulation of the scenery. Game play is basically the same, but you don't have access to the Wii Shotgun or Wii Buzzkill Shotgun for added realistic features. Users who have young children or those with less interest in duck hunting in general may find the classic duck hunt for Nintendo to be a cheaper and more enjoyable alternative.
