I'm very curious about how the Japanese gamers reacted to Duck Hunt Dog? For all I know, DHD is not iconic in Japan and Duck Hunt is just one of three light gun games (the other two are Wild Gunman and Hogan's Alley) that launched with the Famicom... but over here in USA, DHD is iconic and is strongly associated with the NES Zapper because Duck Hunt was bundled with the NES and Super Mario Bros.
I think Sakurai's approach was really creative and satisfies both fanbases across the Pacific... USA gets the Duck Hunt Dog... Japan gets a character who represents the NES Zapper games.
