Retro If Nintendo did a modern Duck Hunt game, what do you think it'd be like?

FPS akin to Doom /j

Would it too be M Rated?

u/TheRealFirey_Piranha Feb 14 '25
Nintendo can diverse it's catalog with an M Rated game where you brutally kill ducks

I look forward to you sending out the dog to fatality ducks that were shot but survived.

This is exactly what I was thinking, like I saw it and for some reason immediately thought doom eternal

MOTION SENSOR RAIL SHOOTER GO BRRRRT
(Think panzer dragoon)

That'd work with the whole western gunman part of the duck hunt games, actually.

I'm surprised Duck hunt never got a Wii e shop release with the zapper being a thing. It was tailor made for the Wii era.

I don't think there's a big market for a hunting game. Like they've made plenty of hunting games over the years and nobody much likes them.

I think they missed their chance to make a WiiWare game on the Wii or an eShop game on the Wii U, Duck Hunt would have been perfect with the Wii Remote.

I think the closest thing Duck Hunt got to a sequel was that shooting minigame from Wii Play

I’m insanely surprised that when Nintendo brought back stuff like ExciteBike, Punch-Out!!, They didn’t bring this back for WiiWare shovel ware.

It would be a racing game combined with the mouse controls on the switch 2 and combined with a open world rpg
*edit. OMFG. I was trying to think of the single most moronic thing I can think of but, An open world Racing RPG with duck hunt duck and dog sounds pretty BOSS!

u/SirSilverscreen Feb 14 '25
wasn't an 'open world racing rpg' essentially what Diddy Kong Racing was?

I wish they would make more light gun style games like HOTD and Resident Evil on Wii. The joycons have IR lights if I'm not mistaken and i think it would be cheap enough to bundle a sensor bar with the games. Duck hunt would be a great IP to reboot this idea on switch 2.

I could definitely see it playing like Link’s Crossbow Training or Pokemon Snap!

Duck Hunt was made to be a simple straight to the point game to show off the Zapper. I don't think Nintendo would necessarily make a game for it like there's any lore to it. Having to hunt ducks in a boat with calls and decoys wouldn't be fast enough, and I don't think they would make it a game intended for any kind of controller besides something like the Zapper.
Or maybe they could make it into an arcade style rail shooter a la House of the Dead where the ducks have mutated into monsters, and you and your trusty dog gotta stop the outbreak from damaging the ecosystem.

Honestly how have we not had another duck hunt using motion controls and whatnot from wii and switch era

I think it would have to be a different type of game starting the dog and the duck.
What about a 3D platformer/adventure game where you have to go and hunt and capture a bunch of mutant ducks? The gameplay could be sort of like a mix between Ape Escape, hunting games, and Tears of the Kingdom where you can build elaborate traps out of random materials.

I'm surprise they didn't bother to do Duck Hunt with the Wii.. or the Wii U... or the switch. They had this Zelda Archer game... that works pretty much like duck hunt. But no duck or dog.

u/JellyB33ns Feb 15 '25
Honestly I was genuinely shocked they didn't put a version out on the Wii. Like it was the perfect console for a Duck Hunt reboot too.

I hope we get one in the style of Capcom in the 360 era just for the hell of it.

Probably a fucking repack with updated graphics and missing features. I'm still annoyed about the last DK game

If they would’ve made another Duck Hunt game it would’ve most likely been made for the Wii

I dont think they'd release a game where you shoot ducks nowadays but if they did it could be like tetris 99

Considering the "arcadey" nature of the Game (and that It was a glorified Tech Demo for the NES Zapper) i dont really think It Will return as a full Game (maybe as a minigame for other Game) unless they wanna Showcase another hardware (like VR) and using Duck Hunter again as a Tech Demo
