Just as many Japanese-speaking characters get dubbed into English for the English-speaking market, do you think that DHD's raspy laugh in the Japanese version will be "dubbed" with the 8-bit laugh sound? If people find the 8-bit laugh annoying, then they can switch to the Japanese voice track (SSBM has a Japanese option) and listen to his raspy snicker, while the rest of us get to listen to his famous 8-bit laugh in all its glory...during taunts, his intro, and his Final Smash.

The raspy laugh isn't the one I was hoping for, but it actually does resemble the inspiration for the Duck Hunt dog's laugh, which is interesting.

It's because the Dog is snickering like a wiseguy, While the 8-bit noise sounds like a loud happy laugh. This seems like the best plan.

There going to remake the noises from the past games just like Ice Climbers and Mario's jump.

Imagine the laugh out loud sound remade on the snickering face. Out of place.
Imagine the current snickering noise on a laugh out loud face. Out of place.
Imagine the current snickering noise on the current snickering face. Looks good
Imagine the laugh out loud sound remade on a laugh out loud face. Looks good, But wouldn't be the same as his original appearence.

It looked good on the NES because everything on the NES it had limited sounds so you had to imagine it.


What we have now is probably what was intended for the dog.

Duck Hunt Dog's new Muttley-like laugh has grown on me and I do not mind if the US version has it as well. What do you think of the idea of having DHD's 8-bit laugh "dubbed" into the US version?

Is it a good idea, since the 8-bit laugh sound is just as iconic as DHD himself is to a whole generation of US gamers?

Or is it a bad idea, since people will do nothing but spam his laugh taunt in online multiplayer because of the 8-bit laugh?

Putting the 8-bit laugh just for his victory scene would be the best idea.
