I'm not paying $15 bucks for a game that just upgraded the graphics of an old NES game for nostalgia sake. If it had some new content maybe. I'd be willing to pay 10 bucks,sure for a remake.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the game when I was a kid, but my eagerness for this game isn't that much as some of the people in this thread.

Sorry, I didn't say much earlier.

Huh? This game is a remake based on the original. It's not just updated graphics. This is how the boss battle in that video looked in the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YIj-GWdOYcc#t=134s

 

[Ingueferroque]

Looks a bit inconsistent, like the budget was quite limited.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Okay. Quackshot is not nearly fondly remembered or as well received as the Ducktales games.

"Meh. Mario? Give me some Bubsy instead, that would be a whole different story."

Don't you DARE speak ill of quackshot. That game is amazing. Ill admit as far as hitting nostalgia buttons ducktales is the clear winner.

Fans do want a mainline Megman ASAP, and it's certainly overdue. My point was that with the MML and the XBL/PSN Mega Man game being canned, and possibly being left with a void, it's might not in their best interest to try to rush out a mainline game just to get one out quick to fill the void the cancelled games left. Development can take years. This game he said took at least a year and a half.

I think most of the problem with a mainline Mega Man game specifically is that the retail games have not particularly sold well recently. Both ZX Advent and Star Force 3 kind of bombed. The Mega Man Legends games never particularly sold well. Zero and Battle Network had come to a definitive conclusion. Any new Mega Man X game will continue the continuity snarl with Zero. The classic series is pretty much limited to NES Retraux style like Mega Man 9 & 10.

Quite frankly, the only solution I see other than just making a NES Retraux Mega Man 11 would be a reboot, but the problem is that the reboots we've had so far like Castlevania, Tomb Raider, and DmC have been more gritty and I can't see Mega Man working like that especially with the elephant in the room that this would be the first Mega Man game without Inafune's input, since he left Capcom.

Capcom getting the market ready for a Gizmoduck third person shooter.

That battle, that voice work... nostalgia to the max.

Although I'm happy about this, it just reminds me of how cheated I felt when we never got a Capcom Gummi Bears game. GB was my second favorite after Duck Tales, and they just slept on it like it never existed. I still remember the awesome taffy episode with Tummi. If it wasn't for the success of GB we would of never got Duck Tales in the first place.

I'm still bitter 20 years later lol.

Many thanks for that. Is that all the official art available? I need Webby :-D

Hey you leave Chris alone! He's just having some stage fright ;_;

We've got to campaign Capcom to release their PC port through GOG if they end up doing one.

 

[duckroll]

Okay it looks like their fucked up streaming issues meant the achieves are split into a bunch of videos too. I linked the boss fight which was the end of the stream. Here are the rest:

[Apoc29]

My penis has remasted.

Rescue Rangers may be the superior Disney Afternoon game, but I will get this if there's even a slightly higher chance of making it happen.

 

[fluffydelusions]

is their a pc petition?

 

[Andrew.]

WayForward better not fuck this up.

Have you played their remake of Double Dragon or A Boy & His Blob or their Contra?

WF knows their retro. Im not worried at all and you shouldnt be either.

 

[Mlatador]

And it's coming to Wii U... OffTvScreenplay... *foam*

I'll admit, I may have a been a bit presumptuous. I still don't know actually what the 30% entitles, but I still hold onto my opinion, until it actually comes out.

I just feel like sometimes games like these end up getting so hyped up, that they end up a disappointment. A lesson learned that took way too many games to figure out.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So they're trying for a steam release?

Ugh I hope so.

 

[shira]

Ugh I hope so.

Oh shit. Haven't bought a game in a few years. This is too tempting.

I really am happy about this though. Looks awesome beyond my belief. Too bad all of the talented Capcom devs who made these games are either gone or swallowed up in the RE machine. Fujiwara came back, but is he attached to this advising Wayfoward?

 

[KojiKnight]

Holy shit, original voice actors and everything... Including Alan Young (Scrooge McDuck) who's 90-fricken-3. Absolutely crazy.

 

[Mlatador]

*watches trailer again* And again! HOLY SH..! The excitement just won't go away!

Out of nowhere, out of freakin' nowhere!!

Oh man watching that boss fight takes me back..... Childhood.

Stuck in Greenlight for 18 months.

Wow, some cringe going on in Part2 at 3:35. The guy interviewing says something about the game being a "shameless cashgrab" and then the booth guy gets really pissed, going off about how much effort was put in the game.

Saw someone else mention that somewhere on gaf (not in relation to the video) and it kind of baffles me... if you want a quick cash grab, you go after licensed titles that still matter. The ONLY reason to take on Duck Tales at this point would be as fan service.

People are really, really fucking stupid. It's why the new Gears game will sell gangbusters.

Isn't the interviewer saying "How is this a cashgrab?" and the other guy responds sarcastically about how little effort went into it.

Barely played Ducktales as a kid, but Scrooge is badass and the game looks great. Will support if it's on PC.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah, it was just some guy in the chat making a joke about Scrooge literally grabbing cash.

 

[Azure Dream]

Even the Beagle Boys sound like they have their original voices, stunning effort.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Seriously, this is how you do HD remasters/remakes/rereleases. So fucking good!

Man, I would kill to see other childhood favorites get this treatment like Lion King and Jurassic Park for the Sega Genesis.

There's not "interviewer", they're both Capcom PR guys streaming the game on Twitch, and they were responding to Twitch comments live.

 

[alr1ght]

For $15 they should include a copy of the original as well.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

If they considered bringing it over over to the 3DS, then I might just be able to like it.

Other than that, I'm not really sold on the graphics. There seems to be a lack of detail that newer forms of animation seem to have, like a newer high definition Pokemon episode over an older one from the nineties. At least with sprites, they have their own sort of art style that pretty hard to explain in words.

 

[btrboyev]

makes me smile how large this thread is.

 

[LiK]

it'll be Wii U exclusive!

 

[Dash Kappei]

Oh my god how did I miss this?!

This is what a true megaton looks like folks

 

[kirby_fox]

Glad to see these. Hasn't it been said for years Capcom should try to remake these games?

Now I can only hope Aladdin and Darkwing Duck get the eventual remaster.

 

[clear31]

If they dont fuck it up, i'll buy it on the 360, ps3 and wii u

 

[Mlatador]

0:43 of the Trailer was like a rainbow punch in my face! Made me let out an inhaled "Oh!"

I won't question the fact that it might be good on 3DS as well, but it uses art in a much different way the MM PoI (which while a bad game had gorgeus pixel art); I don't think the 3DS screen would do it justice... remember Rayman Origins? Still, more platforms the better. Hopefully PC too.

 

[Kammie]

What the--how does this get released in this day and age, considering all the licensing involved?

I want to buy it, but for this I need a PC release.

 

[Videoneon]

Never played the original, actually. I'll think about this.

 

[Dash Kappei]

I'm just curious -- I know Disney is behind it, but are the Donald Duck comics big in the US? I always had the impression that they weren't. I rarely see any Americans, or foreigners mention them, at all.

It's pretty big in Norway, at least. Weekly regular comic magazine for Donald Duck, monthly pocket books with Donald/Scrooge stories, and I think annual "mammoth" pocket books (Extra large. Not sure if they still do these things though.). Read them til I was 12-14 or so.

They're absolutely HUGE in Italy.
Italy (and then Denmark and Brazil, although the latter focus the most on "local" characters like Josè Carioca) is actually the #1 Country as far as the amount of Disney comics getting made goes. France, Germany and many other countries published weekly the comics from Topolino (Mickey Mouse weekly magazine with Disney comics) and I Classici/Grandi Classici (150+ pages monthly volumes). At one point in the '90s there were over 30 weekly/beweeklymonthly/2monthly Disney magazines in italian newstands. Just the weekly Topolino was selling well over a MILLION copies each week just in Italy.
There's also The Netherlands with their own production, often publishing foreign artists like Vicar, with stories then published all over the world. Italy gave birth to plenty of characters, like Scrooge McDuck's love interest (well, she's the on in love of course haha) Brigitta, Donald Duck's superhero alter-ego Paperinik and his other version PK among others.

My favourite "foreign" Disney artists are, not a shock, Barks, Gottfredson and Vicàr. Yeah I like Don Rosa quite a bit but he doesn't compare to them, imo.
My favourite italian artist is, together with Romano Scarpa and Marco Rota,
Giorgio Cavazzano :

 

[Skiptastic]

BLESS ME MOTHA FUCKIN BAGPIPES.

This is pretty fucking awesome.

 

[BocoDragon]

What the--how does this get released in this day and age, considering all the licensing involved?.

Much ado was made about the fact that old licensed games can never be re-released..

But then I look at the nostalgic hipster merchandise at Hot Topic and Spencer Gifts, and I realize that where there's a buck to be made off an old license, there's a way.

 

[catabarez]

Hopefully the PC version ends up on Steam, considering it still is a Disney game.

 

[Mr.Wreckless]

Because people who find Gears fun are stupid, right?

 

[Game Guru]

Because it's apparently easier for Capcom U.S.A. to make a deal with Disney over DuckTales than it is for Capcom U.S.A. to make a deal with Capcom Japan over Mega Man.

Besides, why should Disney really care? So long as the source material is treated with respect, it's free money for them. The fact that Disney were the ones to suggest WayForward, makers of quality 2D games, likely means that the guys running Disney think remaking DuckTales is a damn cool idea also and wants the game to be treated with a bit of respect as well.
