yeah I suspect duck hunt was a substitute for Banjo. yknow... "We can't get Banjo but here's another medium-sized brown mammal with a bird perched on its back!" So if Banjo is in the next one, I don't think they will just remove the fighter entirely but maybe give us just the dog. Which would be fine.
