Zapper Lamp Features %#*(!!! Dog From Duck Hunt

CrunchGear points to this pretty amazing Duck Hunt NES zapper lamp that features not only a Duck Hunt lampshade and orange plastic zapper, but also a replica Duck Hunt cart made of cardboard.

Lamp creator fluffypants says that the typical cartridge wasn't large enough to be stable, so she created a 1.5 scale replica to serve as the base. Pretty neat, though I wish she had slapped on a mocking dog on the other side of the shade.

And the Greatest Video Game Dog of All Time Is...

MTV Multiplayer tapped a number of industry folks to judge their latest stop on the road to their naming the Greatest Animal in the History of Video Games.

In January they named the greatest horse of videogamedom, Epona, from the Legend of Zelda series. This month they selected the best dog, PaRappa the Rapper, of course.

The judges this time around were Leigh Alexander, of Gamasutra and Sexy Videogameland, Tofuburger of I Can Has Cheezburger, Evan Wells of Naughty Dog, and myself.... of here.

Hit up the site to read everyone's reasoning and their number two and three spots. I picked the dog in Duck Hunt and the zombie dogs of Resident Evil as my runners-up.

New Duck Hunt For The Wii? No.

Is Nintendo (by way of Hudson Entertainment) working on a new Duck Hunt for the Wii, to be titled New Duck Hunt? Possibly. But if you're looking to the above video sent to us by a number of readers as proof of such a product, you'll get nothing. How do we know this clip of a game some random kid on the internet found on his dad's desk is bogus? Because the gameplay in New Duck Hunt, well, it sucks, that's how. Nintendo's own legit Duck Hunt demo at E3 2006, which also featured bull's eye, skeet and UFO shooting, was actually amazingly fun and later became part of Wii Play. Link's Crossbow Training is similarly light years beyond this fake half-assed effort.

Look, if you want to pile up virtual duck carcasses, there's always Ultimate Duck Hunting.

Behold The Duck Hunt Sweater

We're pretty current on our Duck Hunt coverage, but I was horribly dismayed to find that we'd been beaten to the punch on this fabulous, hand-crafted, oversized Duck Hunt sweater. Craftster contributor "Quacker Jacks", pictured, put this NES-inspired piece together in just a little over a month of power knitting, posting the fruit of her labors it on the Craftster forums way back in February. Man, she looks like a party! Those curtains, however, have got to go. Michael McWhertor More »

Papercraft: Nintendo Zapper

More great papercraft from model meister NinjaToes! This time we have the Nintendo Zapper light gun that I'm sure most of us spent many hours using to play Duck Hunt. Included on the page are plans and instructions for the orange and classic grey versions of the Zapper, with or without fold lines. When you get to the page scroll down past the Samurai Pizza Cats pizza parlour, the One Piece pirate ship and the Batmobile to get to the Zapper. It's a pretty simple morel to put together and great if your just starting out on your new life as an obsessive paper cutter and folder. Flynn De Marco More »

Clip: Nintendo's Duck Hunt From The 1970's

The NES version is how most gamers know Duck Hunt. Actually, Nintendo made a light-gun version back in 1976. In hopes of convincing you to buy it, web seller Japan-Games has a fascinating clip of the product, which includes a short unboxing and footage of it in use. While NES users got a pistol, players in the 1970's got a friggin' shotgun. Even after thirty years, the game does look like fun. Noisy as all hell, though. Brian Ashcraft More »

Duck Hunt in Lego

A snickering dog holds up the carcass of a still twitching fowl, its eyes wide and glassy, frozen in the moment of its final wakening. Meanwhile, a passing duck kamikaze dives butt-first into the side of the canine's head. All in Lego. More »

Ryu Hunts Ducks

Street Fighter's Ryu and that dog from Duck Hunt might seem like unlikely bedfellows, but they make beautiful music together. This mash-up beautifully brings together arcade gaming and the NES into what looks like a fun final product. How's that for getting it on? Brian Ashcraft More »

Nintendo Rube Goldberg Machine

Three guys Eric, Juan and Steve whipped up this Nintendo-themed Rube Goldberg Machine animation for a class project. Sure, the 3D ball's physics are off, but Eric claims the trio were under a tight deadline. The clip features everything from the infamous "cartridge blow" to NES classics like Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. The ending, like life, is a surprise. More »

Revolution(ary) Wish List

IGN's Matt Casamassina and Mark Bozon put together a little wish list of what they'd like to see in the way of Nintendo Revolution hardware and software. The list is mostly expected, but there were two fantastic ideas lost amont the clutter of a hard drive, no region lock and the like. More »

8-Bit NES Fantasy Baseball Dream Team

McSweeney's — a website so funny its editors should be brutally hobbled for the crime of not having an RSS feed — asked their columnist Rick Paulas to put together his fantasy baseball dream team. And after the orange flourescent fluttering of our Cheetos-saturated hearts, Rick has bravely stepped up to the plate and populated it entirely with 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System Characters.

Dick Cheney's Duck Hunt

Duck Hunt Lego

Some guy decided to create a 3D Legoish duck from Duck Hunt. As if that weren t cool enough, the end plan is to mount it on a plaque with two bronzed light guns. Sweet. If you re interested in creating your own 2-foot long, 20 pound duck, rustle up 1,240 blocks and set aside about 40 hours. More »
