DUCK TALES REMAKE

I'm not sure how to feel about this.

Damn I made my thread a tad bit late, but this looks good.

[Kitsune Sniper]

That's the thing... it doesn't.

The 3D stuff looks completely wrong. The sprites are great, but those stages, and those diamonds... just... no. :\

But at least the music won't suck.

It actually looked really good. Disappointed that it's digital, but how good Duck Tales is and how good this looked, I'll probably get it once it gets a sale for around $5 in the future.

I'm in full agreement. Damn though, those sprites are nice.

Well, that was the most pretentious trailer I've ever seen.

I don't like where this is going. It feels way too commercial already. Like, the literal definition of overselling it.

Way too "commercial"? It's a remake of a game based on a cartoon that was created solely to cash in on that cartoon. Miraculously the game turned out great, but there could be no more commercial product than Ducktales.

Livestream confirmed that ALL the original voice actors will be playing their roles in the game. They're going for the nostalgia and hitting it HARD.

Capcom must be incredibly desperate.

I'll still give it a chance, though.

Retro nostalgia is in right now.

I'm still hoping for a PC version.

So yeah, besides looking pretty good, this will probably apply to us as prices for (at least the NES version of) DuckTales are likely to skyrocket real soon. If it's a game you want in your collection, get it now before that happens or wait it out for the hype to die down later this year.

This is not one I ever expected them to revisit. Is there any reason to get this other than the improved visuals? I've played the nes game to the point that its not even fun anymore.

That said, way forward usually does an awesome job with this stuff.

Want to get so much...

The enhanced plot, voice acting, and newly designed levels to be included with the originals should help with that.

[Kitsune Sniper]

And apparently this is just them testing the waters. They might do other games depending on how this goes.

The intro music got me pumped as I literally haven't heard it for well over a decade. I'm definitely getting this but I don't know rather I'll pick it up at launch or wait for it to be 50% off during XBL's holiday sale later in the year.

I'm actually at this show where this was announced as I type this, and I played the game this afternoon. It plays very well, just like the original, I am very used to the control mechanics of the NES game and stepped into this one with no problem. The graphics need some repolishing, but from what I played, this was fantastic.

I wonder if Alan Young (Mister Ed's owner) will do the voicework again for Uncle Scrooge.

I wonder who else is really old at this point or gone that did voicework for the cartoon. I know Hal Smith that voiced Gyro Gearloose has passed away (Better known as Otis Campbell on The Andy Griffith Show).

Way too "commercial"? It's a remake of a game based on a cartoon that was created solely to cash in on that cartoon. Miraculously the game turned out great, but there could be no more commercial product than Ducktales.

And this doesn't make a lick of sense.

He is. I heard him in one of the cutscenes during the livestream and it sounds just like the show. Helps they confirmed during said stream that ALL the original VAs were returning too.
