Nintendo have had light gun shooter Wild Gunman rated in Australia. The rating probably pertains to a Virtual Console release of the game, as a follow-up to the release of Duck Hunt.   Wild Gunman was created by Gunpei Yokoi and originally released in 1974 for arcades. The arcade release used full-motion video, but an updated version of the game with sprites was released for the Famicom and NES in the ‘80s.   Nintendo have not yet officially announced Wild Gunman’s re-release.
