I suppose it makes sense that it would be different from the NES one. I agree too, it must be MUCH nicer to use. My old Master System Light Phaser is a cross between the two - it's black but shaped like a 'ray gun'... :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-49412931922039385332011-06-25T08:09:57.016+09:002011-06-25T08:09:57.016+09:00Nate - that commercial is aweseome.

I think mine is the basic version!<br /><br />I guess the NES zappers are so much more common since they were mostly bundled (that is how I got mine). If they werent't, they'd probably be as difficult to find as the Famicom guns are.<br /><br />Duck Hunt isn't too hard to find in the wild. I've seen it a few times at shops, mostly priced as a "common" cart at 200-300 yen. Its definitely much harder to find than the US SMB/ Duck Hunt cart, but not too hard.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-20653883805787218542011-06-25T08:06:20.176+09:002011-06-25T08:06:20.176+09:00Thanks, Jason.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a copy of Duck Hunt for Famicom "in the wild." While in the US, they basically give away copies of the Mario/Duck Hunt cart.<br /><br />I also found this CM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLLMwGtFevg<br /><br />Pretty basic, but I dunno, I love old commercials. I like how they use the kanji for Nintendo too.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121556443188603610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-69259844378486998562011-06-24T22:58:35.242+09:002011-06-24T22:58:35.242+09:00Nice!

That cartoon on the box really is neat, isn't it?<br /><br />I played a bit of Hogan's Alley on it too, it works great for that as well. <br /><br />Incidentally I just discovered that, of the almost 700 different Famicom games I own, somehow Duck Hunt is not among them. It is one of the most common carts out there, but I don't have it.

I'll get there someday, though, and I'll buy copies of Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman along with it -- mark my words! In the meantime, I'll just ogle yours :)<br /><br />The box yours came in is sweet, BTW.
