DuckTales: Remastered
DuckTales Remastered takes the classic Disney platforming adventure to a whole new level. All of the visuals from the 8-bit game have been beautifully re-created as hand-drawn and animated sprites, across a backdrop of luscious, re-envisioned level backgrounds.

“Duck Tales is an average side scrolling platformer with pacing problems, but it also has enough nostalgia to make it shine.”
DuckTales Remastered makes some minor missteps in the attempt to revive one of the greatest NES games of all time, but then again, the latter is a pretty tough act to follow. Mechanically, the game holds up great, and I had a smile on my face nearly the entire time. So long as you can overlook a few fundamental issues, old and new fans alike shouldn’t miss re-experiencing this lovingly crafted classic.

No matter how annoying these aspects can be, though, they’re part of the charm. Ducktales Remastered is a nostalgia trip from start to end, frustrating, life-taking warts and all. There are mine cart levels, collectibles that ding when you pick them up, a bank vault full of money that exists for no reason other than to let you dive in. It’s clear that this was a project of care and love, with attention to detail ever-present - everything new is there to accentuate the old, and it results ...
