Dog (Duck Hunt)
The ''Duck Hunt'' dog is a fictional character from the 1984 NES video game ''Duck Hunt''. The dog, which is a beagle breed, appears as one of the only visible living creatures within the game, scaring ducks out from hiding. If players miss the duck, the dog will laugh at them. This has resulted in a great deal of resentment for him, with several sources referring to him as the most disliked character in Nintendo history. Several fan media depict the ''Duck Hunt'' dog being shot, a popular concept amongst fan labor works, including a ''CollegeHumor'' video. The dog also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a playable character representing the ''Duck Hunt'' series.

WiiWare

The development kit cost around US$2000 and developers needed to be licensed with and approved by Nintendo. According to Nintendo, the "remarkable motion controls will give birth to fresh tak ...

Motion
In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time. The motion of a body is observed by attaching a frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with change in time. The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to its cause is kinematics; the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is dynamics. If an object is not changing relatively to a given frame of reference, the object is said to be ''at rest'', ''motionless'', ''immobile'', ''stationary'', or to have a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings. As there is no absolute frame of reference, '' absolute motion'' cannot be determined. Thus, everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion. Motion applies to various physical systems: to object ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
