I wish I could have gone to the thing. If anyone wants to come over and play Ducktales and drink Russell's Reserve six year Kentucky rye, maybe it will be as fun as the thing was.
That actually sounds pretty awesome.
I want to go to there.Quote:

There are no generations anymore, there's just software.
If you need somebody to sell you a new box every few years, that's ok too.
Tell that to the "owners" of digital content from the current generation. Now if you ignore the gaming dinosaurs and look at Steam/GOG/iOS/Android, then you're exactly right.Quote:

I'm confused by your question.
I want "Yoshi the gaming dinosaur" to be sung to the same tune as "Mega Man super fighting robot," but it just doesn't seem to work.Quote:

Just do "Yoshi the Games Dinosaur" to the theme of "Denver: The Last Dinosaur."Quote:

It only took them 2+ months to confirm a version of their own damn game.
Cool! Awaiting sale.
I didn't think this HD remake looked all that good before, and this comparison only reinforces that feeling.
I'll be interested if they release the original game on the Wii U Virtual Console. (or Steam?)
You know, there's a way to play the original on a PC. Or your cell phone!
Looks great to me.
What's with all the hearts?
Or Wanpaku Dakku Yume Bōken and its sequel on your Twin Famicom!Quote:

Get the hell off my lawn.
Not as good!
that would be great if it was performed by a real orchestra
i bet Svensson gave the "no" on the real orchestra...
its pretty good, as things go. It could be a lot worse
you know, like dubstep remix
it could be better... it could be the original...
I agree with what Yeller said based on what I played at PAX. The main 2D characters are outstanding, everything else is bland and generic.
That The Moon remix doesn't say Jake Kaufman.
I've posted it before, but it's too cool not to do so again.Quote:

Capcom today announced that DuckTales: Remastered will officially release beginning this August on all major platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC. In North America, the game will be available for digital download on August 13 (on PSN, Nintendo eShop on Wii U and PC), with an XBLA version launching September 11.
Additionally, on August 20, a collectible boxed version (with download code and exclusive DuckTales Disney collector’s pin) will be offered on PlayStation 3 at retailers across the country.
DuckTales: Remastered is priced at $14.99 for the digital version and $19.99 for the retail version on PS3.
To help celebrate this quack-tastic news, Capcom has released the very first “Duckumentary” video, which goes behind the scenes with the developers at WayForward. The series of videos (beginning today and released every other week until the game’s launch) chronicles the creative process of bringing back Scrooge McDuck and one of the most cherished 8-bit titles of all time to current generation gaming platforms.
Additional “Travel Tip” videos from Launchpad McQuack will begin releasing next week and up until “launch,” so be on the lookout for those as well!
laffo at xbox launch a month later
Seriously, might as well go PS3 physical.
Just a code sucks, though =[
Fucking stupid ass XBOX, Summer of Arcade can suck all of the dicks.
Edit: I need to see the pin. A box with a DL Code doesn't do shit for me, Capcom, and I'm king Ducktales around this joint.
How could they let this title miss SOA? Jesus.
I want the PS3 version, so I'll wait to see what's in the box. Either way, I still get it in August. :D
Because Sony paid off Capcom before Microsoft could. That's all "Summer of Arcade" is.Quote:

The movie industry does do it all the time. Name more than 3 retail games that have also done it? One is a common occurrence, the other is very rare.
It'd be rad, but I also know there's a statistically zero percent chance that it will happen.
It would definitely be a lost sale at least some of the time with a game.
Yeah, the movie industry does it in a hilarious attempt to curb piracy. The amount of people stealing ps3 games is (probably) lower than the amount of people stealing movies.
The movie industry needs to stop cutting the extras out of rental copies. :(

That's your pin. Boxed version can eat a dick, I'm not waiting for that.
If you want it on Xbox you'll be waiting until September. :p
You can't spell "Remastered" without S-T-E-A-M.
dream trees
I'm sorta bummed there's no Vita port (I would have loved a PS3/vita cross buy). Which means I'll probably just go the PC route.
Aw man, didn't even think of that.
Now I'm bummed, too.
Bummed three. Cross Buy is the only known kryptonite for Steam.
I'm surprised no one posted this already:
The team included a sketch artist and a background painter from the original show.

They said the cart has contacts and everything and might be a working game.
I HAVE A NES GIVE IT TO ME I WILL TEST AND GIVE RIGHT BACK
OH GAWD I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!!
As the first non-capcom employee to demo the game, and posing with a cane, hat and money bag, it is TNL's duty to procure that for me.
So, do it.
I was just thinking, there are apparently 150 kits, you and I should don our ninja attire and procure as many as we can.
Yep, it's the original game. If a copy ever hits ebay I'm smashing anything with web access to prevent bankruptcy.Quote:

Glorious People's Hockey Team tired from too much vodka and dancing the night before. Comrade Yuri is missing game winning shot. Team return to locker room with sadness in their heart. Silver medal can not melt down to feed family well as gold. The next morning team is waking up but no! Team is dead. KGB always watching.

Polygon Review: http://www.polygon.com/game/ducktales-remastered/11327
Review Summary: "This game has bad writing and I suck at it. It is average."
Attachment 71484
Somebody on NintendoAge got one of the carts and opened it up. TimeWalkGames is a repro maker and thus nobody feels the need to get it. The owner of TWG is on NA and said he is under contract from Capcom and iam8bit and can't discuss the details of the repro.
Edit: Of Note, these are not original Ducktales cartridges repurposed, these are other games that have been flashed with Ducktales.
Reading the review:
What's the problem?Quote:
DuckTales: Remastered's controls are imprecise, stiff and unresponsive. Scrooge's pogo stick bounce is unreliable - it often stops midway through a bounce, leading to damage from enemies. Other times Scrooge can also unexpectedly stop bouncing on parts of ledges that shouldn't be an issue. This frequently leads to death due to mistimed jumps that never come.
Frustrating, unfair deaths are especially brutal on the game's Normal difficulty setting, where each and every life is precious and losing three of them will send you back to the very beginning of the stage you're on. With each stage taking about 30 minutes to complete, this can be a bone-crushing setback. The game's Easy setting, on the other hand, goes too far in the other direction, giving you unlimited lives and double health, making the game no challenge at all.
As it happens, these issues plagued the NES version as well. Remastered stays true to the source material, but it does nothing to improve the enjoyment of the game. Even when I wasn't fighting with the controls, DuckTales is starkly dull to play. Enemies are rarely more complex than "walk back and forth until someone jumps on my head," and reappear instantly if you backtrack two feet and return to the same spot. The NES version was forced to employ such cheap difficulty modifiers due to memory constraints, but there's no reason to bring these elements back in the remake.
Those issues plagued the original? What the fuck?
Plagued with NES-era gameplay.
THE HORROR.
We're talking about people who think modern indie platformers are good. There is no hope for these people.Quote:

Unless this is a terrible remake (which is possible), I rocked this game and got the best ending when I rented it over a weekend as a kid. This not a challenging game in the slightest.
