The Duck Hunt universe (ダックハント, Duck Hunt) refers to the Smash Bros. collection of characters and properties that hail from Nintendo's classic NES game Duck Hunt, released in 1984. After minor representation in previous installments, Duck Hunt received its first major representation with the introduction of a character trio of the same name in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. In Smash for 3DS / Wii U, several other games based around the NES Zapper, including as Wild Gunman and Hogan's Alley, are also considered a part of the Duck Hunt universe.
