Topic: Ducktales: Why did no one tell me?

[Stratos]

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I just saw the trailer for the Ducktales remake for the first time.


I have not been this pumped for a game since I saw the initial trailer for Twilight Princess.


Then I saw it was not on the 3DS...oh. Well I was going to get a Wii U eventually, but I would rather it have been for the 3DS. I can't get a U until later this year or early next. I was even hoping for a redesign to release in time for me to pick it up. But this. This may push me to get one sooner. Who'd have thought a redesign of a 25 year old game would be my system seller?


Is anyone else as pumped as I am for it?

Never played the original game myself, so I'm really excited to experience this for the first time.

[Arbok]

I have yet to purchase a digital game for a Nintendo system... this will be the first, without question.

[EasyCure]

As a fan of the NES original I'm both super excited about this but also fairly cautious not to get my hopes up. I've heard good things so far but who knows..

Either way, though, I think this will be a day 1 purchase for good or bad.

[KeyBilly]

If you don't own a Wii U, there is always Steam.  I am looking forward to the game, too!

[S-U-P-E-R]

After what WayForward did with Double Dragon Neon? Day 1 purchase!

Wii U version hard crashes system when browsing leaderboards, and sometimes crashes game when all lives are lost and the game doesn't put you back in the lobby (black screen).

[Soren]

Will buy as soon as I have some money. Definitely excited to play it.

Is the game already available on NA eShop?

Because it's not on european market.

I've seen Giant Bomb footage of it. They crashed two minutes into the game.

Come on, Wayforward, get your game together.

Is map displayed on Gamepad? I've noticed player in GB footage pressing start constantly to see it.

Also, checking the game page on eShop yesterday i noticed that eShop game description only have one-screen screenshots (as in only screenshot for TV, no screenshot for gamepad). I've checked other games then, and none of them had dual screenshots. This is just stupid.

It's been available for NA since the 13th.

You can have the map displayed on the gamepad without having to press Start all the time. All you have to do is press Start, and then press X. Press B to exit menu, and your set to play the game with map always on the gamepad.

Capcom sent a press kit to reviewers for this game that included a Zelda-style gold NES cartridge with the original NES game on it.  This is a legitimate NES cartridge that you can play on a real NES.  There are only 150 of these things and they were only sent to the press.  From a retro game collector's point of view this is incredibly interesting because Capcom just introduced an incredibly rare item to the NES library.  Any collector that had amassed every NES cartridge released just found themselves with an incomplete collection.  While similar items were made for Mega Man 9, they just looked like an NES cartridge so they would be mere memorabilia.  But since this is a real cartridge it carries a certain "legitimacy".  20 years from now any web site covering the NES would include it as one of the rarest cartridges on par with the NES World Championship cartridges.  They've effectively changed NES history, all for a press kit.

[EasyCure]

That's really cool to think about. One of the rarest NES games came out almost 30 years after the systems release.

Does anybody have this game yet? Is it worth paying for? I am thinking if I should get it on steam now or wait till I can get it for Wii U?

I downloaded it, its a pretty cool remake. Its got the same platforming of the old one with very good art style and voice acting.

[azeke]

I still don't understand if faulty hit detection is that way because it was that way in the original, or because it's a bug.

[Arbok]

Downloaded it and love it. Have beaten it three times now, working up to Extreme mode.

Pretty rare for a game these days, but the mixture of nostalgia and solid gameplay have me hooked... plus the remixed music makes me smile each time.

[toddra]

I have a feeling though this game would really only appeal to people who remember the original or who have seen the show. Because if I hadn't been in love with the show I never would have played the original.

Concur with that. My overflowing love for the game is likely due to my nostalgia for both the show and the original game.

[NWR_insanolord]

I never played the original but I bought this new one based on everyone saying it was great. I haven't played it yet, though, so it remains to be seen whether my lack of nostalgia will affect my enjoyment.

[Caliban]

This game isn't being too nice to me. Got 2 loading chokes after finishing a stage, but aside from that I'm enjoying my first experience with this game. Never played the NES version, and my nostalgia for the show is minimal because I barely remember watching this as a kid.

[Stratos]

I would consider getting this on steam except i really wanted a portable version.

How does it display the map on steam?

Kinda wish steam would team up with google or amazon to create a tablet system. Really, that is what nintendo should have done with the Wii U.
