DuckTales Remastered -- Reveal Trailer

 

[Ratty]

I'm usually against "HD Remakes" but that looks pretty sweet. Maybe I'll get it one of these days if Capcom gets their act together and stops ripping off their customers.

Lol'd at the comments section though, with the older ladies and fellows blasting the kids who just don't get it. "These were REAL games." Makes me envision us as older people a little shy of a hundred years ago arguing for the artistic purity of Silent Film over these new-fangled talkies.

And so goes the charm the original had with the pixelated Scrooge sprite, and the chiptunes the NES was able to pump out.

If I wanted to see something that looks like a cartoon.... I'll watch an episode of Duck Tales.

I'm already satisfied I have both Duck Tales games on NES and GB.

Looks sweet.  WayForward hasn't disappointed me yet so I'll pick it up.

It would be nice if they included a "Classic Mode" which reproduces the original game's graphics and music that you can switch on and off like Lucas Arts did with the Monkey Island HD Remakes.

And while normally I'd agree that making it look more like a cartoon ruins the artistic intent of the original creators, it's clear that the intent they had was to make it look as much like the cartoon as possible. So I see this just as an extension of that. And worst comes to worst, the original game will still exist and still be played by those who fondly remember it. This will just be a more accessible version for younger audiences.

Just saw gameplay footage over at Capcom's stream and it looks sweet (unfortunately the stream was laggy as all hell)

Oh and Jake Kaufman is delivering on the music department from what I was able to hear, no worries on that part.

Everyone has his opinion and i respect it, but there is no need to downvoted someone else, because he likes something that you don't or the oposite.

I played Duck Tales 2 almost everyday in my childhood with NES.

Up to this day, i still like more the first one.

Which reminds me I need to play that sometime, I bought it for a reason, had an entire week off, now this news reminds me that I have both games on NES and Gameboy.

To think I wrote the original off years ago as kiddie crap, but when I finally got the chance to sit down with the original by myself, I enjoyed it.

DuckTales was one of my favorite games when I was a child, playing it on my nes was fucking awesome & I even play it on my nes from time to time till this day.

So, this will be a day 1 purchase. Once again WayForward proves that they are passionate game developers.

I have still yet to play DuckTales 2 though, and it's hella expensive on ebay these days (well, expensive for an NES game). Bloodreign will you sell me your copy? o.o;
