There's a Duck Hunt clone heading to the Apple Watch, too

With the Apple Watch coming out next week, all the players are showing their cards: Rules!, Spy_Watch, Watch Quest, Best Fiends, for starters.

Now, we also know that NES classic Duck Hunt is heading to Apple Watch as well. Sort of.

OK, Quacky Hunt is not an official port of the retro arcade shooter, but it's about as close as you can get. Alright, it's a clone.

Its creator, Candywriter, explains that you only need to tap the screen to shoot. The idea is, of course, to shoot as many ducks as they fly from the long grass towards the sky.

Don't expect there to be a dog making an appearance as with the original Duck Hunt, though.

Although it suggests otherwise in the trailer, the dog only appears in the iPhone version of Quacky Hunt - it helps you out, and ridicules you if you miss a shot, apparently.

Anyway, Quacky Hunt will be free to download for Apple Watch on April 24th.
