Not that I've noticed, sadly. It would be nice if you could at least map it to a button.
Or make it a toggle, I do value being able to skip cutscenes, but unlike many RPGs this is also the kind of game where I'd most likely want an instant skip button.

Exactly the same as me. 9 years later it still hurts!

Downloaded it and finished Moon level.
Pretty awesome so far, especially since I had recently gone on a Ducktales binge recently.

Picked it up on Wii U, finished The Moon. That music! Hits the nostalgia hard. This game is beautiful though.

OMG thanks for the tip. I was about to complain about the lost opportunity of having the map displayed on the Gamepad.
One more thing, not sure how it is on the PS3 version, but the sound only outputs in stereo on Wii U. Having a 5.1 mix would've been great for us home theatre enthusiasts.

I REALLY hope this does well. Lot of love and care was put into this.

I can't decide if I should buy this or not. I remember playing it as a child but I hardly remember anything from it.
I wish they would remake Little Nemo next. I would give them my credit card for that game!

Very curious to know what the original Capcon dev think of this remake.
Also wasnt there a sequel during NES twilight years?

Pogo stick does feel a bit wonky. It cancels at weird times. Also, some of the jumps/enemy placements seem a bit unfair. Loving the game overall though.
It was always kind of wonky. Feels right at home.
Yeah, surround support on Wii U is so freaking awful. I just wonder if the Nintendo-provided audio tools just aren't that great. Otherwise I simply don't get it. Are their any Wii U games that send out 2 channel matrixed audio? Just don't get why most games are 2 channel stereo and seemingly none actually do multi-channel hdmi when almost every PS360 release is nulti-channel (probably because they are using official Dolby or DTS tools to mix the audio)
On the topic of the game. Love the old school brutal difficulty. Man this is such a niche game. Feels nice being in that niche. I just hope it still does well. Will also pick up the "retail" PS3 copy.
Go play Ninja Gaiden on NES, then come back and breeze through.

I hope so too, but the Steam numbers aren't looking great. It peaked at 2052 today. No one else in my friend list has it.
Wait for the final part I still can't beat it on hard it so damn fast I can't keep up.
Yes, there was.

Would've been nice if WayForeward added the sequel to this game as a chronicles collection. Both games aren't that long but combined it would've been good.

What happens when you lose all lives? Do you restart a new game?

Loving the game do far. Got it for Wii U and just beat the Amazon. Screen faded to black with a barely legible Saving Content and froze. Hard freeze. Going to restart and see if I have a save file. So annoying!

You just have to restart a level if you dont beat it. Once you beat a level and saves automatically, you start where you left off from there.

You go back to the level select screen. All the levels you've previously beaten are saved, but you have to start the current level over or play another unbeaten level.

Thanks. Looks like I'll continue Hard. I'm assuming this is the same as the NES version because you only have 3 hearts.

Tough choice. If you get it on PSN, at least you have a more solid ownership. With the Wii U, you can have off-tv play, which is nice. But it's not really your game to own!

Wii U for Off-TV and the tradition of Duck Tales on Nintendo platforms.

Got to the last level on hard in about 2.5 hours. Not that hard or that long of a game. I'm still enjoying it....unfortunately I'm still there because something is fucking up with the segment after you beat the last boss. It's not recognizing me pressing up on certain chains. Happened with the stick and the d-pad and on the same two chains. one I can bypass and one I can't
I've done the last levet 7-8 times now and I can't get past it.

Um you own it on the Wii U as much as you do if you download anything on PSN.

Really happy with how this turned out - I used to play this game a ton and it's exactly how I remember. Now I'm sure if I booted it up I'd be able to spot the differences, but who cares. It hits all the right spots. I was worried about the voice acting, but it seems to have been blown out of proportion. I remember the backgrounds looking terrible in early trailers, but those seem to have been cleaned up significantly. This is how you do a remake.
Finding it a little too easy now that I've collected a few life containers. Whoever is wishing there were checkpoints would probably be complaining that the game is too short if there were. Why is having to replay a level so bad? These types of games should not push you through. Get better at the damn game.
Anyone notice the helicopter comes in at the same time as the cartoon intro? Does the same kinda swoop too!

I was just making a joke about how the game is tied to your system. But it can be a serious problem after reading all the people who lost their system or accidentally erased their ID. You can never get your games back.
Which is why I usually never buy a digital game off of eShop unless you can't play it anywhere else like Shantae or Mighty Switch Force.
Itunes used to be the same way as the eshop. I can garuntee you if you raised enough hell with Nintendo support they can let you redownload your games.

Or you could just purchase it on ps3 and skip the headache all together.

Yeah, hope Nintendo changes this soon. But for now, I want to be more cautious.

Shhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiite, this game is as hard as I remembered.
something is seriously wrong with me.
I am in the same boat as you. I can't finish any single level on medium. WTF? But I keep throwing myself at it. Is nostalgia supposed to be this punishing? *NERVOUS LAUGH*

Patience is the key! I think I played the Amazon level like five times until I finally got through it. Almost died at the boss, no lives left, and one single heart left.
I know the bosses are redone, but damn they're pretty tough so far!

Made the decision to go through my first playthrough on easy, just enjoying it that way. Second playthrough I'll go through on hard. Really enjoying the animated sprites and the pogo cane movement as someone who never played the original.
But yeah, just finished Transylvania and skipped every cutscene. I was using the excuse that I watched the GB Quicklook, but they really do drag down the pacing.

Just got this and have been playing a bit - I didn't play the original but I enjoyed the show as a kid and I don't mind the cutscenes (it feels like an interactive lost episode).
Was worried about how the actors would sound now but haven't been disappointed, actually have felt a little too much nostalgia at times, eyes got a little duck blur-y.

Wow I love this game!! Turned out really great. Too bad some of the voice actors aren't alive anymore, Fenton & Magicka sound different, too different. But that can't be helped! Such a labour of love, you can tell they put a lot of work into it. I tried all the levels and died nearly at the end of all of them, will try harder next time!
I don't mind the voice acting segments, this game needed to be made longer, otherwise the effort to remaster it wouldn't have been worth it. Let's hope we get some more Disney Capcom remasters.

I'd be all over it if it was on Vita.

What the hell is up with this? I keep randomly losing my pogo stick even if I don't let go of the button.

Me too. I was double checking my controller to see if it was malfunctioning, but apparently it is the game.
Which version are you playing?
I've heard people complain about losing the pogo jump on the PS3, but I've had 0 issues with the Steam version. I'm even using a horrible 360 pad.
