Duck Hunt in virtual reality

With VR headsets reaching consumers hands this year, many are excited for what they can experience. From riding a roller coaster in 1st person to having a birds eye view of an abandoned city, the possibilities keep growing. Luckily, some developers have been thinking retrospectively. Though, it wasn’t Nintendo that thought to bring the hallmark of NES light gun shooters to new depths.

Joseph Delgado is an indie developer who recently took to the task of porting the classic to an Oculus Rift headset. Surprisingly, he did all of it in just 24 hours as apart of the annual Global Game Jam.

Delgado recently posted he ported the Duck Hunt VR project using different hardware.

Natsume auctioned sealed copies of retro games

A few games popped up on eBay from Japanese publisher Natsume, most famous for the Harvest Moon series. While it’s too late now to bid on some cool titles from previous generations, it’s not often you see this. Maybe some other companies have some stock they’d like to sell to potential collectors?

Here are some of the titles they auctioned off:

Harvest Moon 64 went for $317

Lufia II sold for $806

Pocky and Rocky was purchased for almost $1,700
