Nintendo Is Reviving Classic 'Duck Hunt' Game For Wii This Christmas Day

Like nothing is open Christmas Day, which means whether you like it or not, you're going to be stuck indoors with the fam all day in your itchy wool sweater and new slippers. Things could be worse, sure, but they could also be way better.

Guess what: things are about to be way better.

Nintendo is resurrecting the classic game Duck Hunt on Christmas Day, available through the Virtual Console.

Instead of the original light gun, you'll now be able to use a Wii remote, but other than that, no other part of the game has changed, which means you can spend your whole holiday pewpewpew-ing virtual mallards, just like in the 80s.

No word on the game's price just yet, but we're hoping that the original 1985 cost rolls over.

Maybe?
