Your GIF's in the OP are missing due to the host.
It's an NES game so probably.
Yes, it required a certain level of perfect timing and memorization. I wouldn't say it was one of the hardest NES games or anything. It's certainly not legendary for its difficulty.
Sounds fine to me, and that was my favorite show as a kid-
ha, if anything it sounds better for the character because Scrooge should sound like he's 70+
No, it's not that hard.
I'm a videogame 'non-completionist' and Ducktales was one of the very very small list of NES games I beat as a child.
Unless they upped the difficulty drastically somehow, with a little practice there really should be no problems for anyone not only completing the game- but finding all the 'secrets'
Here is our review guys:

Happy to answer any questions about the game! Reviewed on Wii U!

I think you'll find that Scrooge's nephews are Huey, Dewey and Louey - not Stewie!
LOL Thanks for that.. No idea how that slipped in there :|

Wow, it sounds good but I'm definitely waiting for a sale.
LOL that's exactly what sprung to my mind as well.
The game saves after each level. An interesting thing to note though is that there's only one save file. If you want to change the difficulty setting then you need to start a new game and lose your previous save.
The game has a Platinum? I didn't think DL titles did.
Aussie embargo is up, here's ours! (Wii U version tested)

Oh good, I was kind of concerned about that.
For some reason I feel compelled to post this-
I want to buy Duck Tales just because I love Don Rosa's Scrooge McDuck soo much.
Buat man, at that price I'm really hesitant to buy it. If it an actual Don Rosa's Scrooge McDuck game, featuring Klondike I'll gladly pay for that.

so wait, its an actual NES cart which is gold....and its shipping retail for the PS3?
Nope, that's only in the promo kit sent out to journalists.
Thought I'd post these here, just to clear up some stuff. I didn't pause or leave the game running, I did die several times though. Read backwards since it's Twitter.
I had a similar experience. 2:10 on in game play counter and 4:50 on Wii U counter. I do remember pausing on a few occasions though. Play through felt closer to 2-3 hours than 5 though.
I totally agree with this. I watched DuckTales as a kid (Darkwing Duck too, of course), but Life and Times is something else.

Speedruns tend to utilize glitches and bugs to make the playthrough faster. That's why it's a "SPEEDrun", the players try to speed through the game their FASTEST.

If you REALLY finish it 100%, you may need to take a long time. I don't think even I could beat it all the way.

Most of these older games are shorter anyways and there are plenty of games out there like that now. Look at Rocket Knight I mean that game has an achievement for beating the game in 60 minutes, The Simpsons Arcade game can be beaten in an hour, all the older Sonic games are less than an hour.
Well judging by the achievement list that is now out for the Xbox360 not that long. Here are the achievements that are for the game. Providing the difficulty achievements scale down it maybe you could 100% this in one run?. Although I imagine the Collect $10,000,000 would require finding all the level secrets.

The Duck Who Would Be King

Great review! Cant wait to play it on tuesday.
Just a correction, the NES game was released in 1989 and not in 1986 as said in the review.
Still says "No keys available until the game is released."

Bought the game. I wish they release the keys a bit sooner than release.
Was there any GMG pre-order that released keys early so you can pre-load the game? Do they notify you once keys are released?

just a warning fellow GAFers,
tried to pre-order the PS3 physical version from gamestop. Guy at the desk had NO clue what I was talking about. Showed him the page from gamestop.com, but he was unable to pull it up on the store's systems. His inventory only showed the download codes from PS3/X360 (no WiiU...)
Might be a sign that they're cutting off orders soon...

It took my friend at the Gamestop forever to find it. It's in the digital time code section or something.

Man, I didn't expect many of the reviews so far to be mildly positive at best. Still can't wait to play it and find out myself, but was really hoping for positive reviews for the developers.
