I guess that's cool. I'm not feeling that super clean look, or the 3D. What I remember most about DuckTales is that the pixels that made up Scrooge's eyes were asymmetrical, and it bugged the hell out of me. If you fix that, you take away the one memorable thing about that game.

Was having a long day at work yesterday and stumbled upon this glorious news. It put me in such a good mood I could not help but grin the entire day. So fracking excited for more Ducktales!

I wonder how much coaxing had to happen before this was green lighted. Also that trailer gave me goosebumps IMMEDIATELY.

As a child of the 80s, Please dont fuck this up...

The 2D looks so great and most of the 3D looks so awful.

I'm not sure if it's rose tinted glasses making me think more favourably on it than it deserves.. but I'd much rather play the original, I think. I just remember it feeling so perfect, and tightly controlled, and it looked great too. All those 2.5D games that are a thing now always look so spartan (thats what came to mind when I watched the video here), and they seldom 'control' classic.

I hate to leave a cynical and negative comment though - I still probably will buy this day one. It was the first NES game I think I actually ever finished completely, so the nostalgia is strong.

Pretty much every other game trailer for a remastered game I've seen has elicited a loud 'MEH' and an exasperated sigh.

I sang along, totally unashamed and out loud at my computer watching this trailer. My finacee came to see what the hell I was doing, sat down and sang right along with me.

Duck Tales! Hell Yes!

I'm a STUPID huge fan of the original game and series. I think this game looks ugly as sin and it pisses me off. WTF are they doing with that art direction? Nothing is coherent, nothing makes sense, proportions are messed up, and Scrooge himself looks like a flat bit of cardboard stuck in a Unity3D demo.

Come on WayForward, you can do so much better than this.

To all of us who grew up in the late 80s that trailer hit the nostalgia bone HARD. I even got a little choked up... I fucking loved this game as a kid. I must have played and beaten it 20 or 30 times. Hey Capcom, can you also remaster Chip N' Dales Rescue Rangers? kthxbye.

Hopefully they will take some queues from their Bionic Commando: Rearmed experience and go forward from there. For example, don't rework the actual gameplay and levels the way BCR did but do include toggles for original soundtrack and graphics (preferably in the on-the-fly way Monkey Island and Halo remasters did) would be appreciated. Including simple options like these will hopefully keep angry outcry to a minimum since faithful to the original as possible experience will be included.

I just hope they are spending minimum 70% of the dev time polishing and re-polishing whatever remastered version of The Moon Theme is going in here so it adequately does justice to the original.

I know that I shouldn't be complaining about this particular piece of good news, any new Duck Tales is good Duck Tales. As such, I have one request that I will say and then shut up because DUCK TALES.

Could it have killed them to make a Steam Version so I don't have to worry about losing this game as soon as I get a new console?

That being said; WOO-OO.

This is also probably the only time I would like them to do a localized version.

I usually hate everything localized but Ducktales's song and dubs were actually done by some actual actors, along some other shows back in the day. Nowadays dubbing is horrible.

Also this song is awesome in every language.

I imagine there's a generation of gamers now that probably don't know a damn thing about Duck Tales and don't give a hoot about this... BUT SCREW THEM, DUCK TALES!!!!

I don't really have a lot of nostalgia for the original game, despite playing it as a kid. The show though, oh man.

Putting the Ducktales song in that trailer was the best idea ever, I haven't even touched the original game but that song compels me to buy this remastered edition anyways.

God, I loved that cartoon.
