Amazing, heard about this a while ago but haven't kept up to date or anything, can anyone tell me if there are options to switch the original music on? any other kind of retro modes? I'm liking the slick HD-ness of this but quite a large part of the appeal was just playing the nes version on my 360. Plus the original soundtrack is burnt onto my brain from childhood (ah the moon level). In fact along with Buky O'Hare and Turtles it's probably one of my all time favourtie nsf files.

ANYWAY, excite for this - GTA V *and* Duck Tails? Gonna be a sweeeeet September.

I still think that's one of the best trailers ever. 

Ducktales, a-woo-ooh!

Gameplay of the Himalayas

Still no space level shown what are you doing capcom

This looks terribly ugly and boring.

REG!

Moon theme

Bunch n00bs!11!! Lolololol

I played this game to death on Nes (actually one of the few games I could finish), so good to hear the mechanics remain faithful.

Also, the game composer made new 8-bit versions of all the tunes which can be unlocked after beating it.

Moon theme! I'm a bit pissed off about the £13.49 asking price on WiiU.

Grumble.

There are but really all the reviews come down to the fact that Wayforward have remained super faithful to the gameplay/mechanics of the original, which the vast majority of gamers today aren't cut out for/have no time for, so it'll come down to whether you a) really liked the original (like myself) and(/or) b) want to play a Nes era platformer (i.e. difficult, archaic etc) with modern presentation.

It's Ducktales. A-wooo-ooo.

lol  sold!

At the risk of sounding bitter, I've always found reviews of WayForward games to be redundant. They are pretty consistent in quality, so I'm personally far more likely to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Word is around that this is available now (Psn/Steam/WiiU)

Seriously, Duck Tales is not hard, especially for a NES game. My friend got it back in the day and we completed it within a few hours. It was the Aladdin of the 8Bit era.

I played it for the first time recently in the retro games thread.  It was extremely short I got through it quite quickly - yes, I used save states, but you can still get a feel for the difficulty, and I didn't die much.  Mario Bros 3 is far trickier imo.  Perhaps these games aren't a problem to older gamers because we were raised on 2D platformers - like that SNES/NES/MD game you said your nephew was shit at retrokings, I can't remember what it was, but he's ridiculous at Halo so I was surprised when you said he struggled as I just assumed he'd have the skills.
