Duck Hunt[a] is a 1984 light gun shooter video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game console and the Nintendo VS. System arcade hardware. The game was first released in April 1984, in Japan for the Family Computer (Famicom) console and in North America as an arcade game. It became a launch game for the NES in North America in October 1985, and was re-released in Europe two years later.

The game initially received a positive reception in the mid-1980s,[8] but was later given mild praise in retrospective reviews.[9][10] The game was inspired by Nintendo's previous Duck Hunt electro-mechanical arcade game which was based on the Laser Clay Shooting System released in 1976.[11] Upon release as a video game, Duck Hunt became a major commercial success both for arcades and consoles in the 1980s, helping to popularize light gun video games with over 28 million copies sold worldwide.

Duck Hunt is a first-person shooter game with moving on-screen targets, firing the NES Zapper light gun at a CRT television screen.[7] The player selects the game mode, one or two targets appear, and the player has three attempts to hit them before they disappear. Each round totals ten targets.[12]

The player must hit a minimum number of targets to advance to the next round or else get a game over. The difficulty progresses with faster targets of an increasing minimum number. The player receives points per target and bonus points for shooting all ten targets per round. The highest scores are tracked per session.

Duck Hunt has three optional game modes. In Game A and Game B, the targets are flying ducks, and in Game C the targets are clay pigeons that are launched into the distance. In Game A, one duck appears at a time and in Game B two ducks appear.[12] Game A allows a second player to control the flying ducks with a NES controller.[13] Completing Round 99 in Game A advances to Round 0, which is a kill screen where the game behaves erratically, such as haphazard or nonexistent targets, thus ending progress.[14]

Gameplay consists of alternating rounds of Games B and C, with 12 targets per round instead of 10 and sometimes three targets at once instead of two. Every missed target costs one life until the game ends.

Duck Hunt was re-released on Virtual Console for the Wii U console in Japan on December 24, 2014, and internationally on December 25.[23] This version was modified for the Wii Remote controller in place of the NES Zapper.[23][24]

In North America, Vs. Duck Hunt became the third top-grossing arcade game on the RePlay arcade charts in November 1985, below Vs. Hogan's Alley at number one.[27] The two popularized light gun video games by 1985.[8] It was bundled with the Nintendo Entertainment System console in 1985, with 28.3 million copies sold worldwide.[28]

Upon release in arcades, Eddie Adlum of RePlay magazine praised Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley as the "cream on the cake" among Nintendo VS. System and for successfully capturing the experience of older electro-mechanical gun games into video game format. He said that Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley "sported simulated handguns on a wire cable and pop, pop, pop, you do your thing just like in the old days only at video targets".[8]

AllGame called the game an "attractive but repetitive target shooter" and "utterly mindless... the game is fun for a short time, but gets old after a few rounds of play".[9] Several communities have rated the game positively. 1UP.com users gave it an 8.7 out of 10,[29] and the GameSpot community rated the multi-cartridge of Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt at 9.1 out of 10.[10] It was rated the 150th best game on a Nintendo system in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list.[30] IGN placed the game at number 77 on its "Top 100 NES Games of All Time" feature.[31] The game was ranked 24th in GamesRadar's "The best NES games of all time".[32] Jeremy Parish of USgamer stated that Duck Hunt paired with the NES Zapper "made the NES memorable" and was one of the key factors behind the success of the NES. Parish related Duck Hunt to the Wii Remote in that they made their respective consoles more approachable and reach a wider demographic.[33]

Duck Hunt's nameless non-playable hunting dog has been referred to in media as the "Duck Hunt Dog" or the "Laughing Dog", notorious for smugly laughing at the player for missing ducks.[34][35][36] The dog is on GamesRadar's list of "the 12 most annoying sidekicks ever",[37] GameDaily's list of characters "we wish we could kill but can't",[38] GameSpy's "top 10 dogs in gaming",[39] and MTV's award for the greatest video game canine.[40] The dog makes a cameo appearance in the NES Zapper game Barker Bill's Trick Shooting, where he can be shot.[41]

The dog and a duck, collectively referred to as "Duck Hunt", appear as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Masahiro Sakurai, the creator and director of the Super Smash Bros. series, said that Duck Hunt's commercial success as "the most-sold shooting game in the world" was one of the primary reasons for its inclusion.[42] In the games, the Duck Hunt team utilizes multiple attacks inspired by the light gun, including throwing clay pigeons, kicking an explosive version of the can from Hogan's Alley, summoning the cast of Wild Gunman to fire at opponents with their guns, or comically dodging shots fired at opponents from the Zapper.[43][44] The games feature an unlockable Duck Hunt-themed stage. Both the Duck Hunt team and stage return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and the team is featured in the June 2019 trailer announcing Banjo and Kazooie as downloadable content.[45]

Early morning is without question the most popular time to schedule a duck hunt, but not always the most productive. Depending on what the birds are doing and why, a hunt that targets a different hour of the day can be the fast track to web foot success.

Not all ducks go directly from the overnight roost to their feeding grounds and back again. A significant number of birds will leave the roost and feed in a favorite field in the morning, then leave the feeding field and spend varying amounts of time on loafing or resting waters before returning to the roost. Often these resting waters hold birds all day long and the birds frequently pop in and out going to food and returning for a quick drink several times during the day.

It might take an hour or several hours for the birds to return, but when they do, they will have no clue what awaits them. If you shoot your birds and get out quickly, other birds may still continue using the roost. If the hunt drags on, chances are the majority of the birds will become wise to this tactic and relocate to other roosting waters.

The colder it is, the more that mallards, geese and other waterfowl are going to be reluctant to leave their watery roost and set out to feed in the mornings. The classic situation where birds head out to feed in the morning and again in the afternoons morphs into a feeding behavior that starts in late morning and stretches out all afternoon long. The evening flight is just about zero in these conditions as birds return to the roost to keep the water from freezing.

Targeting birds in these freezing conditions is in part about dealing with the elements and also about predicting when the birds will arrive in significant numbers. In this case there is little need to be in the blind at daylight. Instead conserve your energy and shoot for an arrival time of late morning.

Personally I favor setting the decoys after the sun is well up. This helps to keep frosting down on the blocks and insures when birds arrive the decoy spread will look as good as possible. Because the conditions are frigid, chances are these birds have been hunted time and time again. Put extra attention into hiding the blinds so that incoming birds will have no clue hunters are waiting.

Once the shooting begins nearby on popular public marshes, birds like wood ducks are forced into the air and immediately seeking sanctuary anyplace they can. Finding a spot were woodies literally drop out of the sky to get to is not an easy task.

It took me two years to refine the best hunting location for my current wood duck mecca. Watching birds drop to the water out of gun range is frustrating, but I studied the birds and learned from the experience. Over a couple of years I figured out exactly where I needed to be to intercept the birds as they slipped towards what they thought would be sanctuary.

But the process matters, too. It matters a lot. Most duck hunters know this. Especially old duck hunters, the kind who cherish the traditions of the hunt and tend to be persnickety about the details of the process.

In college, I hunted and marveled at the vast reaches of waterfowl-filled marshlands in northeast South Dakota. Then, as journalism jobs took me to Sioux Falls and Pierre, I learned a bit about the ducky places that those regions offered.

It did. A lot. For the better part of 20 years, Keith and I hunted and fished and generally goofed around together in the outdoors. He was an exceptional companion afield, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, a man who rarely began or ended an outdoor adventure without a boyish grin.

I miss him. I miss him a lot. And I said so when, for the first time since his death, I returned to the stream we so often fished and hunted together, set up my decoys, settled in on the bank and began to wait.
