Fans of the beloved original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)/Game Boy 8-bit DuckTales game will be in for treat with DuckTales: Remastered. It will be like the original but with a “face lift” and an expanded ending sequence. The developers have set out to have retain the authenticity of the original.

The game will contain the five original levels, plus a tutorial. The animation looks amazing and rightfully so, because it is all hand drawn! Many of the show’s original voices were used, and the rest are all official Disney voice over artists. WayForward Technologies (the developers of the game) found episodes of the DuckTales TV show that lined up with the game and incorporated them. The soundtrack has been remastered and they created original 8-bit songs for the new sections so that there is a consistent style of music/sound throughout the game play.

DuckTales: Remastered will be available this Summer for $14.99 on the Playstation Network, Xbox 360, Wii U and Steam.

I’ve never played the original game, but my love of the show drew me to this booth at E3. They even had a sound box where you could sing along to the theme song for a cool DuckTales: Remastered pin. Of course I could not resist singing along! I also enjoyed playing this game; mainly because it felt like I was watching the show, and was able to interact with it. I will most likely be getting this come this Summer!
