message: Changing 
: * On Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, this game was used as a "digital simulation" of a duck-hunting trip between Donald Rumsfeld and Justice Anton Scalia. 
to read 
: ... duck-hunting trip between Dick Cheney and ...
bcz those two were the hunters, and Rummy only joined them for dinner. (FWIW, i had the advantage over the previous author, of not only being sure how to pronounce Scalia's name -- which the other may well have known but given up on -- but also being able to ask someone who knows that Dvořák's given name is not spelled "Antonine". Yikes!) --Jerzy•t 02:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, I suggested the merge because of the revelation that the so-called Duck Hunt sequel was just a tech demo, and that there is no evidence that a sequel to Duck Hunt is even being considered for release. I just thought that in light of that fact, Duck Hunt Wii doesn't really deserve its own page, and should be merged into Duck Hunt. But it seems I am holding the minority opinion.

message: I don't give a damn how awesome you think that webcomic is, it is nothing approaching anything of encyclopedic value.  It's a worthless link, it's not "popular" culture by a long shot, it's subtrivial linkspam. - Hahnchen 15:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Congrats, Clyde.  I have promoted the article to GA as all of my suggestions (and there were a lot of them, I know) have been implemented.  Thanks for making all of the changes with pretty much no fuss.  Being new at this, I wasn't sure what I was going to get from people by critisizing their articles.  My positive interaction with you makes me more eager to do more reviews on other GA noms, for other people.  You're right when you said that I might have been leaning more toward FA quality, and this is because I hung around WP:FAC for a long time and got familiar with the criteria there before I ever found out about GA criteria.  If you have any more questions, just give me a shout.  Cheers, Green451 01:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Passed GA 

message: I remember from playing this game that it was easier A) the smaller the TV; B) the further away you were from the TV. It makes sense because the area the gun paints will expand outward like a cone, meaning that the further away or the smaller the tv, the larger the relative area you are painting. Seems like this is a detail that is interesting enough to go in the article, under the gameplay section. Probably need some way to back it up though.... Micximus 20:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this the first light gun game? Or was there some game made before it? Hogan's Alley perhaps? --Mika1h 18:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno, if I had to guess, I would argue that Duck Hunt was the first of Nintendo's light gun games - it seems more notable than any other Zapper gun games, but also a lot simpler than their games. Gumshoe, however, might predate it, I'd have to look it up. Nevermind, that came much later. - A Link to the Past (talk) 16:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I recall earlier incarnations of this article showing a picture of the dog from Vs. Duck Hunt with the blackened face, cast and crutches shouting this, but it appears to be gone now.
Anyone know where I can find this screenshot now? Vidgmchtr (talk) 20:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

message: If you look closely in the categories section, in the lowermost part of the article, you'll notice that this game is included in VC games category but... why, if it is NOT a Virtual Console game??? Does somebody know if it's ever going to see the light of VC service? If not, this category must be excluded from this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.15.143.39 (talk) 16:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

message: While I have no doubt that SOME may find the dog to be annoying, I think that it could be easily disputed, and has no real grounds for the article. I won't change anything with the article, but maybe someone more involved in the page could consider editting or omitting that section, it just seems unneccessary and unsubstantiated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.4.123 (talk) 04:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most Annoying Character? 

message: I'm playing Duck Hunt right now and my version just has 1 or 2 duck mode.  No clay.  
What's up with that?  I'm not sure, because the copy of the manual that I have includes the clay shooting mode.Theichibun (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Version Without Clay Pigeons? 

message: Cracked.com voted the dog from "Duck Hunt," as the most annoying video game character of all time. Don't believe me? Look it up on Cracked.com. Just type in "The Most Annoying Video Game Characters (From Otherwise Great Video Games) see what you find. It will only take you a second. Now I know what your thinking! James, Cracked.com  is not a scientific place to judge whats the greatest game ever created. Were trying to keep logic and reason in the equation we don't need to put just any piece of any information from any website. I am aware of that factor. However simply because something is not based on scientific factors does not mean it cannot be accepted into a Wikipedia article. Cracked.com is a professional website and therefore work can be cited from it. Sure it will simply be the "oppinion," of the Cracked.com website but if I were to put down all the "oppinions," that are placed on Wikipedia then well...let's just say basically I'd have about 75 percent of the information on Wikipedia. Maybe not quite that much but you get what I mean. Please put this information down in your article!!!-James Pandora Adams  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.170.87 (talk) 02:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
