I bought Wild Gunman to honor Gunpei Yokoi.
I have Hogan’s Alley on NES, but not sure if I have the other two. I think I’ll get all three light gun games represented here, as well as Duck Hunt. Obviously it’s a huge plus to be able to play these on modern TV’s with the Wii remote, as the Tube TV’s I still keep around for old school gaming might not last forever.
