Duck Hunt Famicom review

1984 · Nintendo · Light gun shooter · Updated 2026-10-22

7/10

The light gun classic that shipped with the Famicom's Zapper and taught players to shoot at the screen.

Duck Hunt uses the Zapper light gun to shoot ducks on screen. Each round grows harder, and the famous dog who laughs at a miss became one of the most recognised moments in gaming.

It is best remembered as a launch title that introduced many players to the Famicom peripheral.
