The NES knows that the target was at pixel B and that after the player pulled the trigger, it took two milliseconds for the Zapper to send the signal to the console. After two milliseconds, pixel B will become white and the light gun will send a positive signal to the NES. If the target is at pixel B and the player is aiming correctly, the screen turns black when the trigger is pulled, and then the screen starts to become white. (Note that the actual time is much faster than the milliseconds used to illustrate.) If a screen has only four pixels, with pixel A on the top right hand corner, B top left hand corner, C in the bottom left hand corner, and D in the bottom right hand corner, the four pixels will become white in the following order A, B, C, and then D.įor the purposes of this explanation, this screen cycles from all black to all white in the following order. Because the entire screen is turned white in this instance, the nature of the gun/screen interface changes. When there is more than one target on the screen, instead of showing a black screen with a white spot, the game will show the light gun a black screen and then a plain white screen. Also, by putting a magnifying lens in front of the barrel, the player can make the Zapper see a larger part of the screen, which lessens the need for correct aiming. For example, by simply pointing the gun at a lamp, the game always registers hits. The nature of the technology involved makes it easy to essentially cheat at Duck Hunt. The player scores a hit if the light sensor in the barrel detects a white square on the screen. When the player presses the trigger, the game screen turns black for a brief moment, save for a small white square that appears on screen in position of a valid target. The Zapper Light Gun, like all light gun peripherals of a similar design, is essentially a light sensor in a barrel.
The duo's special moves and Final Smash reference various light gun games. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, both the dog and a duck are a playable fighter collectively called Duck Hunt. The dog can be seen in Barker Bill’s Trick Shooting, and in Super Smash Brothers Brawl a trophy featuring ducks from the game can be unlocked. References in Other Gamesĭuck Hunt’s characters have since made appearances in other games. Similar to the duck-hunting modes, the player must shoot down a set number of pigeons to advance to subsequent rounds. In the Clay Pigeon mode, the game is set on a shooting range in which clay pigeon targets are launched into the air and fly into the distance. Though it's not possible to shoot the dog in the NES version of the game, it is possible to do so in Vs. The dog will also laugh at the player when a Game Over occurs by failing to shoot enough ducks to proceed to the next round. Should the player fail to shoot down any ducks in a set, the dog will rise out of the marsh and laugh at the player before the next ducks appear on screen. If the player misses with all three shots, the ducks will fly away. Each time a duck (or pair of ducks) flies on screen, the player is given three shots. To progress to the next round, the player must shoot down a set number of ducks, with the number of ducks required to progress increasing as the player proceeds further into the game. Depending on the mode selected, one or two ducks will appear at a time.
#DUCK HUNTING GAMES FOR PS2 SERIES#
Each round tasks the player with shooting a series of ducks out of the air with the Zapper. In 1 Duck and 2 Ducks, the game is set in a wetlands where the player's hunting dog chases ducks out of a marsh. There are three game modes: 1 Duck, 2 Ducks, and Clay Pigeons. The NES version of Duck Hunt was the first game to make use of the Zapper Light Gun NES peripheral.
It was later included in a three-in-one game cartridge that also included Super Mario Bros. The game's original soundtrack was composed by Koji Kondo and Hirokazu Tanaka.Ī home version of Duck Hunt was later included as part of a two-game package with the original Super Mario Bros. The same team were responsible for the creation and development of the light gun used by the game. The game was directed by Takehiro Izushi and produced by Gunpei Yokoi. The game itself was created by Nintendo Research and Development Team 1 in 1973, a time before Nintendo had branched into game development. This system was a light gun simulation made by Nintendo. Duck Hunt was first developed in conjunction with the Laser Clay Shooting System.
