Review DuckTales: Remastered (Wii U eShop)
Tales of derring-do
It’s difficult to determine exactly who video game remakes are geared towards. On one hand you have generations worth of gamers who played the original and would love to experience it again on a modern console with updated graphics. It’s possible, however, that these people are no longer playing video games or don’t own...

First Impressions DuckTales Remastered
The quack is back
There is a well-known phenomenon in the video gaming world where a licensed game will be adapted from a much larger franchise, and it will inevitably flop. It’s been happening for decades now, with such notable titles as Atari’s 1982 stinker E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and more recently with the ill-fated Aliens: Colonial...

I keep coming here for watch the trailer!!!
DuckTales! Woo-oo ^O^
OMG, I'M 33 YEARS OLD AND I JUST SANG ALONG LOL
Awesome news for sure. As someone who never played the original game, but loved the show back in the day, this is going to be a real treat. I hope it turns out even better than I think.
I remember playing the original game, it was a blast back then. I wonder if it still will be fun? Regardless I will have to buy this, there are so many games that are going to come out. I just wish they came out sooner or gave legit release dates.
so wayforward is remaking a game that wont be on the 3ds? i do not believe that for a second
@LeonChamp
I know that feeling im 32 lol
Finaly! that took really long
WHEN!? Release date pah-leeze!
@LeonChamp LOL thats AWESOME, let the inner child out! This game was great on the NES and I'm sure it will be again on the WII U. I hope they do this with Maniac Mansion.
Soo glad to see a DuckTales remake, i hope this remake sells well for other remakes like NES DuckTales 2. Anyone remember DT: The Quest for Gold for the Commodore 64? And i don't understand why Castle of illusions is not coming to the Wii U, i wish you could buy a boxed version of these games like the original Master System cover art for Castle of illusions.
i missed ducktales
@LeonChamp
most people that remember this game will be 30-ish. I grew up watching ducktales and of course I loved the game.
Getting getting
There is not much wrong with the original Duck Tales. The best bits about it are the bits they are changing though. (The dpad pogo stick mechanic and the fact that there is no filler loads of the screenshots have no enemies there is nothing like that in the original). When something is remade and the mechanics are changed it rarely works out well.
Dracula X Chronicles you would think would be great until you play it and realise that it makes it loads easier what they have changed.
The updated graphics for Guardian Heroes make it look worse.
Only remakes I think that had the right idea is stuff like Sonic Jam and the Saturn ports of stuff like the Thunderforce games. (All that is done is the slight problems with the originals are fixed).
The Remake for Nights into Dreams is ok I suppose. But its 3D not 2D so it has aged much less well.
The better the original is the worse an idea it is to change anything.
Castlevania Rebirth is much better because the original is so poor. But it is not as good as the original (TG16) Rondo of Blood.
What remakes are there that actually play better than the originals ?
(I liked Bionic Commando Rearmed but I never played the original).
Hooray, two days away, Woo-oo! Really hope to see the return of the moon, this orchestra remix has me pumped!

Life is like a.........................woot! Soon! Instadload!
Just played the first level of the PC version it is really easy. The dpad controls don't work properly. (This is with a 360 pad which you would hope they would have tested extremely well).
I will try it with a SNES pad connected to a super smartjoy.
The original NES one is really tight.
This probably has more in common with the Smurfs 2.
It has loads of cutscenes that you have to skip individually.
If you die you don't even go back any significant amount.
Very poor.
(Castle of Illusion looks like it will be better).
It is more than likely the same engine as the smurfs 2 but it will be reviewed highly by people who never really played the original. (The original has more in common with stuff like Megaman than this).
Looks like the original used the Megaman engine. I never knew that up to now.
Memories... Just good old memories that got a facelift today! Love it.
Can't beat that for 8,99 EU.. nice!
I grabbed this just before it was pulled from the eShop.
