Wandered into an Akihabara store last night and had an amazing score: Nintendo’s 1970s electro-mechanical Duck Hunt toy! This was what inspired the NES game. The store, notorious for its high standards, had it marked at 3000 yen ($27) because it was missing the battery cover.

Super Smash Bros. player Raito showed the importance of never giving up in a recent friendly match with Ryu master Takera. After falling far off the stage, he made use of Duck Hunt’s own projectile to damage himself, regain use of his flight move, and reach the opposite side of the platform.
