It’s worth looking at all the storefronts in the film’s New York scenes. One of the restaurants with a familiar 8-bit duck on its logo is named Chasse au Canard, which translates to ‘Duck Hunt.’ The original Duck Hunt game was a classic that used the NES Zapper to shoot at your TV screen. For a time, it was also packaged with Super Mario Bros. on a single cartridge.

One of the more obscure references is the Disk-Kun Hardware Store. This is a reference to the Japanese mascot Diskun, who represented Nintendo’s Famicom Disk System. The console, which only released in Japan, used floppy disks instead of cartridges.
