Just remember there is no disc in the box. Just a download code.

But you get that fancy ass pin

In my eyes, its worth paying the extra $5 for the box and pin even without a disc, I just want to see more impressions, reviews, and such first before pulling the trigger though.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I played this at E3 and all my impressions were positive EXCEPT for all the added content, the game stops every 10 or 15 seconds to show you some uninteresting dialogue, really breaks the gameplay flow of the original.

The levels in this game are too short for the continuous cutscenes they added.

 

[thuway]

I wonder if there is a chance to choose between classic and updated graphics.

 

[Miker]

There's no reason to pre-order it on Steam. Just wait it out like the rest of us.

Well, I actually meant pre-order on Green Man Gaming for $12.

 

[Cheska]

Having a tough time deciding if I want to go retail PS3 or download on the Wii U.

 

[massoluk]

You're kidding me. There's a deluxe version with playable NES golden cartridge but it's not available for Nintendo system? Capcom, you troll.

edit: I'm an idiot. So it's promo box.

 

[FSLink]

...Wii U?

 

[Tsunamo]

Looking forward to this!
Never played the original Ducktales game so I'm sure I'll be in for a treat.

 

[dysonEA]

Wii U owners should get the VC original NES game download along with this. That would be pretty cool. Probably not gonna happen

 

[Lupin the Third]

Anyone wanting to reflect on classic DuckTales episodes in the lead-up to Remastered can get 65 episodes' worth of fix for free if they are Amazon Prime members.

[RPGCrazied]

I wish it was $9.99. Kinda steep for how long this game is. Still why I haven't played Journey.

 

[ratcliffja]

They're both downloadable, right? I think the PS3 "retail" version is just a downloadable code with a collector's box.

Great, there goes the rest of my month. Thanks for nothing, guy.

Spoiler

100%ing the game and completing the bonus stage will reveal a trailer for Darkwing Duck remastered

I believe Gamestop offer it?

I would rather have Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers before that.

Oh, and pre-ordered. Can't wait!

 

[danielcw]

The remake features:

• skippable voiced cutscenes by the original 80s cartoon voice actors

•

Yep. Just a sucker for those extras lol. But I'm wondering if the WiiU version has off TV play or looks better ala Rayman Legends.

 

[Shinjiru]

I have this pre-ordered on PSN. I really enjoyed what Wayforward did with Double Dragon Neon.

I was twelve years old when this game came out. I liked the TV show so I guess I asked for the game for Christmas in 1989. I don't really remember much about it other than enjoying it. Watching some of these promo videos and hearing the music and pogo sound effects brings back memories. I'm looking forward to experiencing it again.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Woo hoo!!!

I can't wait!

 

[SegaManAU]

Off screen play on Wii U? Yes please. Wii U version it is!

 

[JoseOle5990]

Right in the nostalgia bone, critical-hit! (woo-ooh!) Looking forward to playing this bad boy.

Additionally, the music is being composed by Jake 'Virt' Kaufman (Double Dragon Neon, Mighty Switch Force!, Shantae).

Loved Kaufman's work in DD: Neon! Pretty much a fan of all his music. His track from the OCReMix Donkey Kong Country 2 album is fantastic as well. I trust in his abilities to do the Moon Theme justice

 

[Zonic]

I REALLY hope Jake Kaufman makes the soundtrack free/pay whatever you want on his site. I've downloaded the OSTs for both MSF games and DDN. So far, the remixes have been pretty good from the samples we've got.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I would rather have Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers before that.

.

 

[danielcw]

Anyone know if the OG soundtrack is an option that's available?

I'd like to know that as well.
So far I don't like the remixed soundtrack.

 

[BocoDragon]

Wanted to get this on 360 due to the avatar awards, but gonna get it on PS3 due to that boxed collection/pin and the fact it's out a month earlier. Grew up playing the Game Boy version (didn't even know of the NES version until years later).

Also, they've been giving out lunch boxes and GOLDEN NES CARTRIDGES THAT CONTAINS THE NES ORIGINAL COMPLETELY PLAYABLE for promos. Only 150 of them are being given out.

That article doesn't say so, but is the NES game itself really in that cart? Is it an actual NES PCB in there?

If so, does that mean this is actually the last NES release? A game as rare as Stadium Events or Nintendo World Championship?

I'm getting ahead of myself...

 

[Chindogg]

Off screen play on Wii U? Yes please. Wii U version it is!

It did at SDCC so I'm assuming it will at retail as well.

[chun li's thighs]

I got gifcam and had time to make gifs for the thread.

 

[rhino4evr]

In celebration, Smooth McGroove's acapella take of the Moon theme:

It's a completely working NES cartridge of Ducktales, but golden. Someone on Vine tested it out & it is indeed the original game.

It's possible it's either a golden painted cartridge or they switched it with a golden Zelda cartridge.

 

[Hot Coldman]

so, er, is the new Moon theme out there yet

edit: never mind, found the Duckmentary, LAWD

 

[DigiMish]

The boxed version is an empty box with a DLC code for the game and a pin!?

LOL.

My guess is they rounded up 150 original carts, cast 150 new gold shells, and installed the old pcbs into the new shells + new sticker.

 

[Hex]

I would choke out a North Korean world leader while singing the Duck Tales theme in my Mickey Mouse club boxers for that Lunch Box.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

That gold cartridge is going to be worth a fucking fortune.

....how appropriate, now that I think about it.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Sknerus McKwacz!

 

[Seven Force]

That gold cartridge is going to be worth a fucking fortune.

Heh.

It'll probably end up as valuable as the Mega Man 9 press kit.

 

[El Odio]

I got gifcam and had time to make gifs for the thread.

Just by looking at these gifs you can tell that a lot of heart went into making them.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Heh.

It'll probably end up as valuable as the Mega Man 9 press kit.

Oh, much more than that. Many NES Collectors will undoubtedly count it as a necessary game for their complete collections.

 

[zychi]

I want to preorder this but Steam doesnt have a discount, and gmg doesn't work with my card or paypal. Guess I'll wait ti the winter sale.

 

[fantomena]

Think Im gonna wait for a sale and the reviews.

 

[chun li's thighs]

A few things-

- you can unlock 8 bit music mode.
- the pin is made by a Disney sanctioned company. Expect Disney quality.
-the amazon level from e3 has the most story breaks because of all the treasures you collect. It's a-typical.
- an OST is up to disney

It will be up on virt's bandcamp day one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm surprised they wouldn't have thrown that in for the hell of it.

licensing issue is their excuse

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Day's been made.

 

[Mileena]

$12 PC or $15 Wii U with off-TV...

decisions, decisions!

 

[danielcw]

- you can unlock 8 bit music mode.

Would you spoil how to unlock it? Is it easy and fast to do?

Does the 8-bit music loose soundeffects, when a lot of other noises are active?
In other words: do the emulate the limited sound channels of the NES?

 

[danielcw]

licensing issue is their excuse

It is? Did anybody say so?
All original parties are involved in the remake, so why not.

 

[GavinGT]

I thought this was the Citizen Kane of games?

 

[muzzymate]

Would kill for a Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers remake though.

I would love that. Co-op with both Chip and Dale was so fun back in the day.

And while we are at it, The Little Mermaid or Tiny Toons would be awesome. Thinking back, they weren't that great but as a 9 year old, I loved them.

 

[ZSaberLink]

I never played the original, but I've heard good things about it and it looks fun. I mostly loved the cartoon when I was younger, so I thought it'd be fun to get.
