Nintendo held a special Nintendo Direct broadcast event today, in which they discussed the future of many of their games.

One big announcement that came out of the broadcast is that the classic shooter Duck Hunt will be coming to the Wii U Virtual Console, which is part of the Nintendo eShop where Wii U players can go to purchase and download digital games. The news was announced along with word that the Duck Hunt dog (you know, the one that laughs hysterically at your failure) and one of the ducks will be joining Super Smash Bros.

You can see a video of the announcement below.

This video is the full Nintendo Direct broadcast if interested in watching, but should start right at the Duck Hunt announcement.
