Nintendo

Seth Rogen has caused the old NES game Duck Hunt to go viral after randomly revealing a secret about the game that apparently a whole lot of people did not know. Ah, the power of the internet.

First off, for this to mean anything, you have to remember exactly what the old Nintendo game Duck Hunt was. Which isn’t hard for many because the game, along with Super Marios Bros., was included with the purchase of a NES console in the 1980s. It came with the iconic NES Zapper that was used to shoot ducks that appeared on the screen.

The game came with three modes of play: a version with one duck appearing at a time, a version with two ducks appearing at a time, and a version with no ducks, but instead the targets are clay pigeons.

When playing the first version of the game, there is a “secret” that it would seem many people were not aware of all these years. But now, thanks to Rogen, minds are being blown.

Hot tip that’s 25 years late but I didn’t have Twitter back then: in Duck Hunt on Nintendo, the second player controller controlled the duck. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) September 17, 2018

Me and my sister found this out because I sat on the controller by accident and the duck kept flying to the top right corner. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) September 17, 2018

Not only did this revelation shock many regular folk, it also caused some very famous people (including Captain Marvel) to question their very existence as well.

I play video games for a living and I never knew this…what the fuck — Ari Weintraub (@Floejisan) September 18, 2018

I was today years old when I learned this. Same age I was when I learned that the game of TAG I spent my childhood playing stood for “Touch and Go”. 😬 — Shayne Davis (@parrothead1624) September 17, 2018

I don’t understand how I could not have known this. — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) September 18, 2018
