Mad Dog McCree Brings 'Live-Action' Shooting to Wii

9
"Every cowboy sings his sad, sad song," according to Poison's beloved ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Now, thanks to publisher Majesco and developer Digital Leisure, modern-day Wii owners will have the chance to experience that truth first-hand.

You see, Majesco today shipped the Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack to North American retailers. Priced at $19.99, the Wii compilation delivers three of American Laser Games' "live-action" light gun classics--Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold and The Last Bounty Hunter--with added support for up to four simultaneous players.

And don't worry UK citizens, you'll soon be able to immerse yourselves in the antics of wicky, wicky, wild Wild West bounty hunting and saloon shootouts, as the compilation is slated to hit your shores on August 28 at a suggested price of 24.99 pounds.

    Poison AND Escape Club in the same news post. I give you full pop culture marks.

    This doesn't look like the Mad Dog McCree I knew, though - what was the Space Ace-type live-action quick-draw game?

      Are you talking about Time Traveler?

      I think there was also reference to Will Smith's song.

      Mad Dog McCree was the very first CD game I ever played, on my uncle's computer. It was a light gun arcade game, with live-action FMV. The PC version used mouse, but same cheap sets, bad acting, cheesy dialogue, etc.

        The first CD-ROM game I ever owned. So bad, but so fun.

      I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Fast Draw Showdown.
