Duck Hunt: Difference between revisions

'''Duck Hunt''' ({{ja|ダックハント|Dakkuhanto}}, ''Duckhunt''), known in [[PAL]] regions as '''Duck Hunt Duo''', is the name of a playable tag team composed of the player's hunting dog and a duck from the NES light gun game, ''{{s|wikipedia|Duck Hunt}}''. After ducks made cameos as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and a sticker in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', both the hunting dog and a duck became a playable fighter from the ''Duck Hunt'' series as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

''Super Smash Bros. 4'' marks both the third appearance of the ''Duck Hunt'' universe, and the debut of an [[Unlockable character|unlockable]] fighter for said universe. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that the inclusion of a playable ''Duck Hunt'' fighter was influenced by that respective game's worldwide sales numbers, and his feeling that the ''Duck Hunt'' universe had not been viable for such representation until ''SSB4''.<ref>[http://www.gamnesia.com/news/sakurai-explains-duck-hunts-inclusion-in-smash Sakurai Explains Duck Hunt's Inclusion in Smash]</ref> Although the hunting dog and a duck fight together as a team,<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat02_fighter_59 Super Smash Blog | 59: Duck Hunt]</ref> they do not truly fall under the tag team archetype like the [[Ice Climbers]], {{SSB4|Olimar}}, and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}. Duck Hunt were the final [[newcomer]]s to be officially revealed for the base version of ''SSB4''.
