Tips & Tricks
Control the Ducks
Using controller two, have a second player control the ducks. This works only when a single duck is on screen.
Easy Shots
For any easy shot in any mode, press START to pause and unpause the screen. The game will freeze temporarily for about a second, giving you the time needed to properly aim.
Perfect Shots
Adjust the brightness controls on your TV. If you get it to the right setting you will always hit the duck if you aim at the screen and fire.
You can also attach a magnifying glass to the front of the gun and hold it several feet back from the TV, firing whenever you see a duck to guarantee a hit. By aiming directly through the center of the magnifying glass and to the center of the TV, you will have the best chance.
Duck Hunt is a first-person shooter game developed by Nintendo and initially released in 1984 for NES.
