10 Hidden Video Game Features EVERYONE Missed
3. You Can Play As The Duck - Duckhunt
Any gamer growing up in the 1980s and 1990s has memories of playing Duck Hunt.*
Even though shooting at birds is a simple premise (even for the time,) everyone was blown away by the addictive gameplay and the precision of the Zapper. Since it was the first light gun game many people ever played during that era, it was no surprise Duck Hunt became a smash hit.
But even if you played this shooter all your life, there's one feature that may have escaped you. Until Hollywood actor, Seth Rogen tweeted about it in 2018, barely anyone knew you could play as the duck by using the second controller!
Now, you might be wondering why Nintendo failed to mention this fact since it adds a whole other dimension to the gameplay.
But here's the thing - the manual says you can play as the duck!! Even though this feature has never been a secret, it took over a quarter of a century before it became common knowledge.
*They may not be fond memories since the game was hard as hell, but they were memories nonetheless.
