Solving Mysteries & Rewriting Histories: Why DuckTales is One of the Greatest Games of All Time

Today, “licensed” is practically a dirty word in the game industry. It refers to any game based on a story or characters from a different medium such as television, movies, books, etc. The terms of these license agreements often require the game’s release date to coincide with that of a related piece of media. Therefore, budgets are slashed and corners are cut in order to meet deadlines. These sacrifices, as well as the fact that development studios are often given limited creative control over licensed projects, are why licensed games have developed such a bad reputation. Therefore, the notion that a licensed game could be remastered 24 years after its corresponding TV show was cancelled isn’t just unlikely, it’s insane.

A good game not great even for its time. So many better games back in the day.

dedicatedtogamers4009d ago

Duck Tales 1 and 2, Lion King, Star Wars, Aladdin (both the SNES and Genesis each had their own unique version), Mickey's Castle of Illusion, Mickey Mania, Chip 'n Dales...so many good licensed games from back then.

InTheZoneAC4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

i played chip n dale 1 and 2 all the time, along with robocop, xevious, contra, jackal, legend of zelda, double dragon, battletoads, paperboy, marble madness, snake rattle n roll, obviously mario 1 & 3, nes open(had mario and luigi), and last but not least ducktales

the memories....

I do remember quitting duck tales because I couldn't get past a certain spot with scrooge, maybe when I play the re-release I get to complete the game...

and what was the game where you played as a boy in a dreamworld and you got to ride on different animal's?

@dedicatedtogamers, that is the game. I wish nintendo would bring back more games like these old ones and keep them in similar styles, like they're doing with a link to the past 2 and donkey kong country returns.

dedicatedtogamers4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

I believe the game you're talking about is Little Nemo: Dream Master. Also a very cool gem.

Capcom's Disney games were amasing back in the late 80s and early 90s. I think my own personal favourite was Mickey's Magical Quest on the SNES.

And this is why you buy a Wii and download old retro games. Zelda:Link to the Past
Duck Tales
Contra
Gradius
Double Dragon
Aladdin
Shinobi

I love being a Gamer

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 11h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga1d 10h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot1d 9h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B1d 8h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb1d 4h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya14h ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid1d 11h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman1d 10h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda10d ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
