Any sense of frame rate?

Love how these old games can still surprise you with hidden stuff unlike shit like TR where everything is handed to you on a silver platter and you've seen everything it has to offer in like a day or so.

we've come a long way.
But it doesn't, like, capture the feeling of the original man. It's like they're raping our childhoods for a quick buck with all these pixels or something.

A lot of gamers don't like the multiple endings though. There was a topic about that very thing here earlier. So you can't please everyone.

I'm hoping common sense will prevail, I don't own any current gen console but I am so tempted to buy a Vita just for this. Like I really need this.
Just hearing that theme song makes me smile.

I like to imagine that he's leisurely chasing after a dollar bill.
They were skippable in the build I played. Helped me get farther than anyone else I saw play the demo (since it was timed to 5 min)
It's not tangible, it's digital. Capcom is probably just going to take it away from us in a few years, because this time we're explicitly licensing it, not buying it.
Still amazing.
He's just glad to be back making games again. Like Karen Allen in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He can't help it.

I love Don Rosa, I corresponded with him via snailmail over 20 years ago and talked with him at length a couple of years after that, but Carl Barks alone is what made Scrooge what he is and Don Rosa would be the first to tell you that.

Not actually that important
And that's why I really hope a PC port also comes, even if down the line

May I have a cookie?
What about this?
According to wikipedia and IMDB Don Rosa wasn't involved in any way. The screenplay is by Alan Burnett who was a writer for Disney Afternoon, and seems to be loosely based on several older Uncle Scrooge comics by Carl Barks, mixed in with familiar Arabian folklore I'd imagine.
Well he is maintaining his position as richest duck in the world. Of course he is happy.

Why no love for Super Pang capcom?
Prob. because nobody cares about that series =/
Isn't it already available on the PSP though?

In the Rosa comics, Scrooge never really was all that happy, even with all his amassed wealth.
Because the one thing he desired, a family of his own, was something he could never have.
I will be *shocked* if this isn't an achievement. It's exactly the sort of thing achievements are *for*.

Mentioned in a stream.
During the PAX streaming from Capcom Unity, the commentators (who are Capcom guys) mentioned that they're definitely looking into a PC release but they can't make any promises right now.
I've been watching the first season of the show this weekend since the announcement, and you can really pick up how the character's voices have changed. The nephews were much rougher sounding back then (though never as garbled as Donald), Scrooge sounds slightly more sedate... Webby still sounds about the same though.
we've come a long way.
I can't believe there are people complaining about the sprites. These are perfect. While I've found WayForward's games to be pretty hit or miss in general, they're great at 2D sprites.

Really glad to see a great Capcom classic like DuckTales get some current gen love. I will buy this game.
Konami needs to get Wayforward to do a 2D sequal to Castlevania 4. We need Castlevania 5- The Return of Simon.

aaaahh wayforward. bringing my childhood back to me.
first, a boy and his bob, now Duck Tales.
Please follow up with Chip n' Dale and Darkwing Duck.
Also, as far fetched as it is, please also bring back Jackie Chan's action Kung Fu.
I will worship you unconditionally and defend your honour in any internet gaming thread henceforth if you do.

Castlevania 4 was originally just supposed to be called "Super Castlevania". It's a remake of CV1. Nintendo told them to add the "4" to make it seem more important.
Wayforward needs to make a sequel to Super Castlevania, as in, a CV4-style full-blown remake of CV2: Simon's Quest.

It was just "Castlevania" in Japan. Well, actually it was Akumajo Dracula (Demon Castle Dracula), which was the normal name for the series in Japan at the time, and was the same name as the first NES game.
So no IV... Not even Super originally. You might be right about Nintendo making the request in America.
But you could give a CV5 a different name in Japan or whatever. They didn't have a game called Contra 3, so when we got Contra 4, they called it Contra
ual Spirits.I don't think it matters at this point if IV was not a "real" sequel.
That sounds a bit strange, considering most of Capcoms games come to PC nowadays. So until mentioned otherwise, I'll remain hopeful.

Wait, how? There's seemingly no interface for this kind of thing.

If you had a certain amount of money (I think it had to be 2 or 3 million...?) you could press Select at any time to relinquish that amount of money in exchange for a health refill.

I was noticing this too, you can really tell that Alan Young is getting on in years. His Scrooge these days is much more... sedated. He used to be filled with piss and vigor, with a vibrant rowdy voice that had an edge to it, now he's got a much softer tone to him.

It's amazing he can still do it at all. There's a line in the demo that has a breathy pause, but still he powers on through.
Ohhhh good god its amazing, i have a massive place in my heart for the og cartoon and nes game. Being a kid in the uk in the 80s ducktales was massive, saturday mornings ducktales were just fantastic. I really hope we will see more of this sort of thing, a remake of Castle of Illusion from the mega drive.

Oh absolutely. It's going to be really awful when he does. Scrooge's voice is one of my top 3 favorite voices ever.
Disney tends to kind of "grow" replacement voice actors in a way, like they did with Donald, Mickey, and Goofy. Is there anyone else that's ever done Scrooge's voice, or is anywhere near the same caliber?

First of all: This is my first post on NeoGAF, and its in a thread about Ducktales...not the NES Ducktales (one of the best games the NES has ever seen). No it's about a remastered HD-Version of Ducktales which i will buy Day ONE
If somebody told me this 2 weeks ago i would have said: No way. Capcom doesnt have the licenses anymore...and all of a sudden Megaton! Everythings about this game screames nostalgia and i cant believe that Capcom is involved...(lets be honest Capcom has seen better times) Cant wait for the summer
Thats the second best thing this year after my wedding :-D
By the way: My nick is Scrooge McDucks german name ;-)

I think the Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle could pull off the voice. Sounds very close. Of course he's a pretty crude guy so his image doesn't exactly scream family friendly cartoon but even George Carlin the filthiest guy around was Mr conductor at shining time station so anything is possible...

The original DuckTales is one of my all time favorites and I very much appreciate WayForward, but I concur that the cut scenes look a bit overbearing, regardless of whether they are well written and voiced. Even if you can skip them via a menu it still affects the flow of action, and the ease of playing though uninterrupted is a big part of the appeal of the gamel for me personally. Is it too much to hope for something like a classic mode, where it's arranged more like the NES game? Seems like the ideal option to let players enjoy the new content or just have a quick replay without the extra baggage.
Not to mention Rosa loathed Ducktales. I think he wrote one Ducktales story and he told it felt like he was selling his soul while writing the story (or something along those lines). I never liked Ducktales either except for the game. It was one of my favorite games on NES. Ducktales 2 wasn't all that good but overall it wasn't bad either, it did have that sense of adventure that I really liked, hopefully the redo that one as well.

I always preffered the original Duck Universe introduced in Comix by Carl Barks and builded upon by Don Rosa.
I never liked the altered Universe of Duck Tails... All the characters introduced there are incredibly annoying (Webby, Mrs Bentina Beakley, Launchpad McQuack), and the only memorable part about the series was the intro song (and this videogame).

Same for me. DuckTales: The Quest for Gold was also good game for kids. I hated those rock climbing missions.
