Capcom
It’s one of the most beloved and iconic games of the era, and for years, fans have been clamoring for its return. On March 23, Capcom announced that the NES classic “DuckTales” will, in fact, be making a comeback in the form of “DuckTales Remastered” after over 20 years.
Developed by WayForward, “DuckTales Remastered” takes the 8-bit classic and adorns it with brand new, hand-drawn visuals that perfectly reflect the work of Disney during that time. The classic soundtrack – featuring the unforgettable “Moon Theme” – will also be enhanced by Jay Kauffman. The game will, for the most part, be the same game that can be found on the NES cartridge, however the developers are making a few tweaks.
For those new to the game, there will be an added tutorial level, teaching the basics such as utilizing the pogo stick. Additionally, there will also be a brand new level leading up to the final boss fight. Altogether, it should be about “70% original true layout, and about 30% new” according to Rey Jimenez of Capcom. Perhaps the most interesting addition to the game will be Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin. This fully playable level allows you to track the total amount of wealth you’ve earned while playing, and will even let you dive right in and swim through the piles of money, just like Scrooge McDuck so lovingly did throughout the cartoon series.
“DuckTales Remastered” is set to release this summer on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and WiiWare.
