Disney's DuckTales is a 1989 2D platformer published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is based on the cartoon of the same name, and is one in a successful line of Capcom-produced Disney games. It was followed in 1993 by DuckTales 2.
A remake of the game by WayForward Technologies is currently being developed for Wii U Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade for a Summer 2013 release.
About
DuckTales is often the subject of NES-related nostalgia and was generally popular. The game provides a good example of the work produced by Capcom in the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with such titles as those in the Mega Man franchise; both shared key personnel such as Tokuro Fujiwara, Keiji Inafune and Yoshihiro Sakaguchi. DuckTales has much in common with the Mega Man games: bright and colorful graphics, tight play control with unique gameplay dynamics (such as using Scrooge's cane as a weapon, tool, and pogo stick), and non-linear gameplay.
Characters
- Scrooge McDuck - The player controls Scrooge throughout the game, making use of a variety of techniques, while collecting different items.
- The Beagle Boys - the Beagle Boys show up occasionally, usually as guardians of a passage or they have taken Scrooge's nephews captive.
Helpful Characters
These are some of the friends of Uncle Scrooge that will assist him in his search for the five treasures.
- Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby - they give Uncle Scrooge hints within the different lands.
- Bubba Duck - he gives a special treasure to Uncle Scrooge.
- Mrs. Beakley - she made some wonderful treats for Uncle Scrooge.
- Gizmo-Duck - if the player finds the Remote Control on the Moon, Uncle Scrooge can summon Gizmo-Duck to assist him.
- Launchpad - this famous pilot will fly Uncle Scrooge out of each land and back to the control room in Duckburg. He will also give Uncle Scrooge a convenient ride (from time to time).
