I'm totally here on Day 1 for this.
For everyone complaining about missing Disney Capcom games not on this collection, please understand that this is the Disney Afternoon Collection. If you're too young to know what that is, it was a block of afternoon TV programming that Disney had on local channels during the 80's and 90's for 2 hours that included shows like Gummy Bears, Ducktales, Chip 'N Dale's Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and Gargoyles. At the time, Capcom made many good games based on these shows on the NES, including Ducktales, Ducktales 2, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Chip 'N Dale, and Chip 'N Dale 2. They made Goof Tropp, Bonkers, and Gargoyles on SNES, but this is an NES collection.
Aladdin, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Mickey's Mouscapades, amongst others are not on this because either they weren't made by Capcom, weren't on NES, or weren't in the Disney Afternoon block.

Hahahahaha, doubt it.
Hell yeah. I never knew they made a game..
I was thinking talking about the possible WHY might be ok, but not only was there that warning but the more I think about it that could end up derailing anyway.
Regardless I'd want to see how the port quality ends up before grabbing on either PS4 or Steam, since I'm assuming Digital Eclipse is doing it again.

I literally bought the NES version of Ducktales yesterday, what bizzare timing.
Huh? What territory is this from? I've only ever seen this version of the cart:

Damn. That's pretty cool. Glad Capcom is digging up their licensed work.

Pretty sure that's the Euro version. The circle-round Seal of Quality with minimal text is the giveaway. The US had it round on the oldest NES games but it had more complicated text like "This seal is your assurance that Nintendo has assessed blah blah"
Like testing limits huh?
One can only hope.

Ah, I don't think I've ever realized the Euro seal is more circular than oval shaped like the US until now. At a glance I assumed it was the same logo even though clearly it's not.

Hope this launches better then the mega man collection did.
Nice, I'm trying to think of any other games that could be included... was there a Goof Troop game? I guess not on NES which is what this collection is limited to.
Not a chance. Re-releases of expensive NES games haven't made a dent in their prices. Collectors specifically want original carts.

"We scaled the low resolution image so it doesn't look like a stamp on your TV" is a pretty lame meaning for "improved HD versions".

I had no idea there was a DuckTales 2.
Might get this day one.

Can't watch the vid right now, what does "new and improved HD version" mean?
Is this just a simple scale jobbie, or did they actually update the graphics?
It was fantastic. Had upgrades for scrooge's pogo stick in some levels and an optional subquest where you had to find all the pieces to a treasure map.

Would anyone even buy it there anymore?
Just scaling seeing the trailer.
Extras like sketches will be nice and crisp though, so there's that. Though that might be a rare case of wanting Pro support merely to be able to have super high resolution scans of that stuff.

You just reminded me that I have this thing lying around.

All the "Capcom would never port Darkwing Duck/Rescue Rangers" and "lol Capcom don't like money" guys from other discussions regarding the collection when it was just a rumour must feel pretty stupid now.

I doubt they feel all that stupid. Most are probably happy to have been wrong .
100% this, would be a dream for VC type games

Surprised, though pleased, they got the DuckTales sequel included. I've heard so much about the first game (and I own and love the WFT's Remastered version in particular), but I've hardly hear anything about the second.
If you're referring to the Castle of Illusion remake, that was published by Sega, not Capcom. For comparison's sake, Capcom and WFT's DuckTales Remastered is still available; so I presume they may have a longer / more permanent lifespan on digital avenues.
lol yup, speaking of which...
I got you fam
OMG that image lol ok you made my day. Wasn't expecting it so soon lol I love my Switch and heres hoping it gets more love than Wiiu, but damn that burn fam.

Stupid twitter had me convinced they were remaking an NES compilation cart. Too good to be true.
This isn't a bad collection but I don't think I'll pick it up. The best game in here by a mile is Darkwing Duck. Such an awesome Mega Man clone but I already own it and the extras don't seem to be too enticing.
I also own Ducktales but never understood everyone's fascination with it. The music is great but the game is just a high score rush with boss battles, the controls are wonky and it's too easy.
I love how people are getting banned here. Drive by comments without reading the OP is my pet peeve.

I think i actually have some of the NES cartridges for these somewhere. I remember spending some good times as a kid play rescue rangers co-op and I think it was the first game i ever competed on my own.
Definitely gonna keep an eye on this for nostalgia appeal.

Man, I forgot about that Ducktales NES game. Used to play it in elementary during recess if if was raining outside. Loved that pogo stick.

Pretty awesome, but it's been so long since I played any of those games that I barely remember them.
