About This Video

Released in Japan during the first half of 1984, Nintendo's Famicom Gun Series introduced three classic light gun games: Wild Gunman (February 18, 1984), Duck Hunt (April 21, 1984), and Hogan's Alley (June 12, 1984). I upscaled this classic Nintendo Famicom TV commercial featuring these three titles. Below is my loose English translation of the original Japanese narration:

The light gun arrives for the Famicom. Switch to the electronic gun controller and face off against Wild Gunman in a test of marksmanship. Next is Duck Hunt: one player controls the ducks while the other plays the hunter. And then there's Hogan's Alley, where you take aim at the bad guys. You can enjoy all these titles using the same electronic gun on your Family Computer.
