NES Box Art: Duck Hunt

Duck Hunt was developed by Nintendo R&D1 & published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System(NES). It was first released in Japan in 1984 then brought to the U.S. in 1985. An EU release didn’t happen until 1987. 

Thing you never noticed: No matter what color ducks fly out (red/green/blue) after they are shot, the dog always shows you green/black ducks. 

Thing you won’t believe: If you plug a controller into the extra port along with the Zapper gun, you can control the ducks movement with the controller while a friend shoots them. We promise, it works.
