The tip of the Video Blaster's barrel is painted orange, but this coloration is much less prominent than other light guns released in the United States after the passage of the Federal Toy Gun Law. The Famicom light gun included weights to make it heavier, which this controller lacks however, because the two controllers use the same mould, the Famicom light gun's weights can be transplanted to the Video Blaster to give it the same feel.

In late 1988, the Video Blaster was released in North America by Camerica. The gun has a clear plastic sight on top of the gun to assist in aiming shots.
