Sega first: Duck Hunt
Posted by George. Filed under Arcade, George.
Nintendo likes to steal games from Sega, if they could steal Jet Set Radio and Sonic the Hedgehog, they would!
They are jealous that Sega has been in the coin up industry since the mid 60’s (maybe even further back in time, so far that we can’t calculate with our primitive minds!) innovating along the way.
In 1969, Sega made a coin operated game called Duck Hunt. Sega did it 15 years before Nintendo even thought of idea. I expect someone to be editing this very shitty wikipedia entry!
Sega did it first, you remember that Nintendo! Sega if you are reading this, start suing!

Nintendo is teh shit.
Is it possible that Sega had patents of this thing and copyright and stuff that can potentially screw Nintendo but simply forgot they existed or am I just under the effects of acid?

It’s not quite the same thing.
Its like if there was a baseball game called Nintendo Death Lizards where you used a tennis racket to play and Sega released a baseball game just called Death Lizards where you used a tabletennis racket to play.

In real life, when you hunt ducks, you shoot them. On the SEGA game, you do the same. On the Nintendo game, you do the same.
Both of these are video game adaptions to an actual activity. Posting this is stupid.

Lol - I don’t think anyone cares THAT much about it Kogen.
But it is kind of weird how Nintendo does seem to get credit for coming out with a lot of games, when they aren’t the first to do it.

yes Kogen, the point is that Nintendo is often credited for being the first to come up with the idea.

No, you guys did not read what I said.
People have been shooting ducks since they found ducks and had guns. Several hundred years, you know?
No one thinks Nintendo invented that.

I don’t think Kogen got the fact that this post is full of sarcasm.
