Update News
DuckTales Remastered Pogo Jumps into Retail
September 18, in the year of our Lord 2013--It’s
a Duck Blur! Capcom is excited to share the quack-tastic news
that a disc-based version of DuckTales: Remastered will be
hitting retail store shelves across North America on November
12. Currently available as a digital download through Xbox Live,
PlayStation Network, Nintendo eShop and PC, DuckTales:
Remastered will offer an all-new $19.99 disc-based alternative
to players on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U.
Originally released in 1989 on the Nintendo Entertainment System
, DuckTales was widely acknowledged as one of the generation’s
seminal platform titles. DuckTales: Remastered once again
follows the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his nephews – Huey,
Dewey and Louie, as they explore different themed worlds on
their search for five legendary treasures.
The development team at WayForward have taken the levels and
layout from the original release and expanded on them to
significantly enhance the gameplay experience; but where this
update truly impresses is its graphics and sound. All of the
visuals from the 8-bit game have been beautifully re-created as
hand-drawn and animated sprites, across a backdrop of luscious,
re-envisioned level backgrounds. Furthermore, original Disney
Character Voices talent, including some from the cartoon TV
series, bring in-game characters to life with charm and wit,
while the classic melodies of the original soundtrack are given
a modern twist.
