"What terrified me most about the DuckTales: Remastered announcement was a question that strikes fear into the hearts of many What if it doesnt hold up? Nostalgia is a fickle beast and despite being the muse for countless musical parodies and fond memories there was always the chance that our judgement was simply clouded by the pure bliss of playing as a duck in space. Well, my children, today I put all of your fears to rest. Like a fine wine, DuckTales has aged with grace." - Dustin Triplett of Geekenstein

FTG Writes: Rewriting History Over the last few years, there has been a true revival of the 8-bit era. From various re-releases of classic games like Mega Man, The Legend of Zelda, and even more cult hits like Kid Icarus, to purposefully derivative and inspired fan-service games like Retro City Rampage and Scott Pilgrim, interest in old-style gameplay is remarkably high. One of the most prolific titles from that old period was the Capcom classic DuckTales. Back in those days, when a developer had a pre-existing license in their hands, publishers and developers would usually get their top guys on the project which is why they were so much better than their modern counterparts. However, for as good as DuckTales was, nobody would have ever thought it was due for a remake any time soon. With no other DuckTales property in circulation, love for the game is what drove DuckTales Remastered into existence.

Warp Zoned writes: "The original DuckTales game for the NES was one of my favorite games. I remember receiving the game as a Christmas gift when I was ten years old, and getting to the last level that very same day, only to have my older brother turn off the system during the final boss fight, because, as he put it, I shouldnt finish a game the same day I got it. So I beat it the next day. And the day after that. For months, DuckTales was the only game that inhabited my NES. The gameplay, the controls, the music it was in every way a perfect game. Fast-forward twenty-five years, and I am sitting at my desk at work when I see the announcement of DuckTales Remastered. Pulling up that announcement trailer, I was in a state of shock. One of my favorite childhood games, being remade by one of my favorite developers, WayForward this was just too good to be true. After playing the new title, I can say that while its a great game, DuckTales Remastered is not all its quacked up t...

GV - "Nostalgia has a way of clouding our judgment. All of the sepia tones, dated technology, and fond memories contribute to that slightly painful yearning for a simpler time. I do have a history with DuckTales on the NES. Capcom's 1989 platformer is regarded as a genuine classic; a singularly well-made game that holds up pretty well today, thanks to its engaging mechanics and abundance of charm."

Calvin Kemph, Thunderbolt writes: In the 90s, licensed Capcom videogames were king. They brought well regarded Disney concepts into the sphere of interactive entertainment and exemplified the sort of craft emblematic to the brand. Once pioneers of the adaptation, their best work within the current generation is found in recycling and returning to these formative ideas. For the DuckTales remaster, Capcom have employed the divisive but broadly competent WayForward, whove since become the go-to team for licensed adaptations.

Analog Addiction writes: "Being born in 1991, I slightly missed the DuckTales cartoon craze, and quite sadly, the original 8-bit release of DuckTales on the Super Nintendo in 1989. WayForward and Capcom, however, have now made it possible for a new generation of gamers to enjoy the classic platforming adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. DuckTales Remastered is almost exactly identical to the original release, but this revision has beautiful new visuals, a remastered audio accompaniment and a few minor gameplay touches. It also includes a new tutorial level and pre-final boss level. So how does DuckTales hold up over two decades following its original release? Quite well."
