The Amazon has tribal creatures, while Transylvania focuses on kid-friendly horror fights like bats and mummies. Like the NES game, you go through about half a dozen large levels, with new expansions making them even longer while jumping on enemies with your pogo stick cane and/or swinging obstacles towards them with it by using it like a golf club.Įach of the levels has a unique look and feel to it, with enemy designs usually varying depending on where you are. The revamped game stays true to the original while adding some much-needed changes and adding some stuff that enhances the presentation, but hurts the pace.
Fortunately, they did, and the game is better for it.īeyond just nixing the requirement of pressing down (which you can reactivate if you so desire), the controls as a whole are a lot tighter than either NES game in the series. The sequel remedied some of the control issues, so I was hoping Way Forward would stick with that blueprint here. Being able to not only go left to right, but also up and down and backtracking sometimes made the game seem longer, while being able to choose a level meant you can play any stage if you get stuck on one and just go back to it. The platforming was solid though, and more open level structure held up nicely.
The rose-colored view was darkened a bit, as the controls were a bit iffy and having to press down to do Scrooge’s primary attack – a jumping cane stomp – made the game much tougher. However, playing DuckTales after not having played it in many years made me skeptical of how it would turn out. Like most 20-somethings with a working NES and an eBay account, I went on eBay and bought the NES game post-haste. DuckTales 1 and 2, Rescue Rangers 1 and 2, and Darkwing Duck all delivered excellent gaming experiences that kids could enjoy for the licenses and older players could enjoy for the gameplay. Their licensed games weren’t just good by those standards, but by any standard. In the case of the former, it was one of the most beloved Disney cartoon shows of its day, while the games continued Capcom’s trend of releasing quality licensed fare. When it was first announced in March, the release of DuckTales: Remastered made everyone who remembered either the show or the NES games rejoice.
