I know this might sound a bit strange, considering there are two console launches and plenty of AAA games headed our way in the very near future, but DuckTales Remastered

Loading

As Capcom announced this morning, DuckTales is now not only coming to XBLA, PSN and the Wii U eShop, it's headed to PC. Now everyone can play!

About 70% of the levels are the same as their predecessors. You can see that in the footage above, right down to enemy placement and hidden secrets. But Capcom (through developer WayForward) is working to fine tune some ideas and add a sense of logic to areas that previously had none. You'll notice the addition of cutscenes and even simple objectives, such as the need to collect special coins, which will allow you to progress past a specific part of the level.

You'll also notice the helicopter sequence is a bit different - moving right instead of left. That's just common sense by today's standards, but back in the day, Capcom had to double back because of memory limitations in the original NES.

As you probably know, the original voice actors for characters like Scrooge McDuck are back. And if Capcom couldn't track down the original actors, they're using Disney's official, modern equivalents.

In the previous version of the game, money was collected just for the purposes of bragging rights - for the high score. Now, money can be used to unlock items in a gallery, as well as fill Scrooge's iconic Money Bin.

Speaking of the Bin, the classic Duckburg locale is one of two new locations in the game. Scrooge's Money Bin now serves as a training stage for players, as they fend off the Bugle Boys' latest plot. The other new stage, Mount Vesuvius, serves as the final location of the game.

You'll notice bosses have been completely revamped, and while the sentient stone totem resembles its NES counterpart, its move set has more than expanded.

One other cool detail - because WayForward has added so much to this game, it has created all-new music, some of which is definitely inspired and derived from the original. That's pretty cool on its own, but the better part is the developer has created another soundtrack within the game that is basically 8-bit takes on the new music. So you get the new music, based on the original themes, then redone again in 8-bit form. Pretty awesome.

Point being - DuckTales is on my radar, which is why I'm bringing you the debut of the remade Amazon level. What we've done here is more than just capture the new footage, but present it in a bit of a side-by-side comparison with the original game, so you can see just how much has changed.Check it out:Most of the changes are obvious, though I wanted to point out a few in particular.We're not quite done, depending on how much of DuckTales Remastered you've seen. We captured the entire Transylvania level, which Capcom first showcased a couple months ago, and spliced together the best parts. So if you haven't seen much of this game since the NES days, this might be fun to check out.So there you go. Plenty of awesome DuckTales footage to check out. Plenty more to anticipate. This game looks awesome. Capcom is still sticking to its 'Summer' release window for the game, meaning I get to harass their reps about it again and again until they get more specific.Stay tuned - E3 is almost here. Less than one week away now...
