Duck Hunt/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: The game is actually based off of clay pigeon shooting gallery toys Nintendo made in the 60's and 70's. Perhaps one of the most potent instances of this trope - not only do most people not realize this game was based on a toy Nintendo used to produce, most people aren't even aware Nintendo produced toys in the first place.
  • Garfunkel: Aside from the dog, this game is largely remembered for being the other game that came bundled with the NES, with Super Mario Bros being its Simon. Usually in the same cart.
  • Most Annoying Sound: The damn dog's laugh.
  • The Scrappy:
    • The dog in this game has to be Scrappy's father. It's the only explanation.
    • Though he might be a descendant of Muttley, what with the snickering.
    • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Funnily enough, the dog is actually quite well-loved as far as Smash Bros. goes thanks to his unique moveset and absolutely troll-worthy potential. It helps that in this game, he doesn't laugh at you, he laughs with you.
  • Sequel Displacement: While Wild Gunman was the first Zapper game released, most American players tend to associate the peripheral with Duck Hunt due to its inclusion in console bundles alongside Super Mario Bros.
