Tin Star is a video game released on the SNES in November of 1994. It is one of the few games that use the Super Scope or the SNES Mouse. The game stars Tin Star, a sheriff who wants to destroy all of the robot bandits (which is the main goal of the game). At one point the ESRB website listed Tin Star as a future Virtual Console release. While it is possible that Nintendo had at one point planned on releasing the game for the Wii service, this has yet to happen. If it were true, the game would probably use the Wii Remote in lieu of the Super Scope or SNES Mouse much like the Wii U Virtual Console release of Duck Hunt.
