Before we had the Nintendo Switch, or even the Nintendo Wii, we had the NES. The first OG Nintendo gaming system. And odds are, if you remember the NES, you remember playing Duck Hunt.
You got the biggest thrill out of zapping those flying ducks down from the sky and into the waiting hands of the hunting dog, when he wasn’t giggling at you.
In today’s world, it’s easy to beat any game with all of the cheat codes available online. But back then, in the mid-80s, there was no social media, no Google, no Twitter.
So there was no way for Seth Rogen to inform you that you could use the second controller to control the duck.
Hot tip that’s 25 years late but I didn’t have Twitter back then: in Duck Hunt on Nintendo, the second player controller controlled the duck.

Me and my sister found this out because I sat on the controller by accident and the duck kept flying to the top right corner.

Mind. Blown.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to spend the rest of the day digging through storage and dusting off our OG Nintendo gaming system.
