DuckTales Remastered 2

[Neki4_96]

Great idea create remake DuckTales 2 NES

[that's what she said]

I'd love it. Though I think people won't buy it, because they didn't bought it on NES in the first place. 2 was A LOT better than first, but it was released too late - so it was buried under SNES hype. Thus saying it wasn't selling well even while it was great improvement in every term - music was a lot better, gameplay was more diverse, maps were much better designed and so on. It's a gem no one played, so remake won't be selling well. That's why devs took the first game. It's bussiness, we all have to eat.

I'd love it, but I agree that it probably won't ever happen.

Remastered was probably approved only because they could market towards the nostalgia of the 25 and older crowd. Between gamers who have found memories of playing the NES version and the fact that it's a Disney platformer, I'm sure they figured it'd turn enough profit to make.

DT2 I don't think has that same pull because most people who played the original never played the sequel. It's not a reflection of it's quality, it's just that it doesn't have the retro nostalgia the first game did.

Unfortunately, this game didn't get all that many good reviews, so who knows if Wayforward will continue on this path. I for one would love to see similar games remastered.

I think it's been stated that, if another Capcom-Disney title will be remade in the style of Ducktales, Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers is next, and possibly Darkwing Duck after that. Ducktales 2 was never mentioned for the reasons that that's what she said has given.

Ducktales 2, while a fantastic game, is also one that isn't very well known. The game came out in 1993, close to the end of the NES's lifespan ('94 I believe was when the last officialy liscensed games came out) and at that point most everyone had moved into the 16-bit generation of the SNES and Sega Genesis. It was largely overlooked as a result and sold rather poorly despite the game being amazing. The game is quite rare these days, fetching an average sale price of just over $100 with just the cartridge and upwards $800 for a sealed copy.

...I probably just pulled all that out of my ass, but the point remains. Ducktales 2 isn't well known enough to be at the top of the list for future Capcom-Disney remakes if any are happening.

Furthermore, going through 1993's other releases, there were some big games that came out that year: Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic CD, Link's Awakening, Secret of Mana, Kirby's Adventure, Star Fox, Myst, Ridge Racer, Doom, SimCity 2000; the list goes on, but you can sort of see why Ducktales 2 was overlooked.

...the Atari Jaguar...

to be honest...i think ducktales 2 on nes was worse than the original.
i just dug up and played through both of the original nes titles.
the music was nowhere near as memorable as the first game. and the "updated" graphics just looked wrong, it felt like watching an off-model cartoon. i like that they tried to add in new moves for scrooge like pulling barrels with his cane and letting you jump and golf swing to get into some secret spots.
i think the whole thing with the shop in between levels and buying powerups was sloppy.
its kind of cool that they let you re-enter the stages and the end boss did make me laugh at the reference i was like "no way, they're really doing this?"

the "hidden level" was short and too easy, and the extra little bit it added to the ending felt not worth it.

the game was too easy, and the bosses were lame, except for the golem boss they all had the most simplistic a.i. patterns. the end boss was the easiest boss...Luther could kill the end boss of ducktales 2 and he killed The Gond..
the game felt really rushed and this isn't the only time capcom rushed out a game, look at megaman x 5 and 6, those ones came out within 6 months of each other, how can you make a playstation game in less than 6 months and not have it feel rushed?

that being said.

I would LOVE to see a ducktales 2 remastered. there's so much potential there. with the story elements like they could make the sorcerer boss at the end of the scotland level be the villain from the ducktales movie.

I really like the way they re-did the bosses in ducktales 1 remastered and the concepts of the ducktales 2 bosses are cool .., an undead duck pharoah, a duck golem, a p-p-p-p-p-pirate ghost, a frigging terminator duck...they should have blown the original bosses = a giant rat, the king of the terra firmies, a stone idol..away but capcom ruined them with crappy a.i.

the remastered version could fix all that

they would really need to re-do the musics because the musics in that game were generic and boring not at the level of quality you would expect from a capcom game. capcom games always had some of the best musics but ducktales 2 fell short.

p.s.
you frigging kidding me?! a ducktales 2 cartridge is $100?! i found mine in a thrift store for like $3...

[Icedfate]

the point of my rant is they really SHOULD do a remastered ducktales 2, but if they do it, they need to do it right.

[Icedfate]

i would also like to see darkwing duck remastered. but to be honest with that one...its more like a megaman game.
its like a dumbed down megaman with a disney license.
if they remastered it, they would have to make a lot of changes, i suspect if they did a straight verbatim port, people would hate it.
darkwing duck is a much more difficult game than ducktales, i remember rage quitting on some of the bosses before i found the trick to them.

chip n' dales rescue rangers...i dunno, i played it as a kid and most of the game is just carrying around a box over your head and then ducking and hiding in it to avoid damage from enemies.
its a pretty easy game, although as a 8 year old, i did find the final end boss the only real challenge, because he drops 3 shots at you in a kind of spread pattern. and to the modern gamer its actually really easy but to an 8 year old it might as well be bullet hell.

talespin was kind of a side scrolling shoot em up

and then there was little mermaid

[Icedfate]

i actually think of all the disney-capcom titles to remake next, probably ducktales 2 has the most potential because if people like what they did with the first one as long as they do it again with the second one like getting the voice overs and the cutscenes in there and adding extra stuff to flesh out the stages and fixing the bosses A.I. it should be good.

in any event, the formula they have here is to take an old game, redo it with modern graphics and animate it in the disney style and get the voice overs and the story elements and flesh out the stages more and fix the boss a.i. and add in like unlockable extras like the art gallery then they should be able to remake all of the disney-capcom games and sell them.

[cancelyourcable]

I would get it.

[HardRock]

I really want DT2 !

[pwnrook]

+1

What they probably should have done is pick and choose the best from both games and make one Remastered game out of it. But since they didn't do that, I'm betting we won't see Ducktales Remastered 2. Which is a shame because I never played it and would love to see some Wayforward polish put on it.

But what I really want is Rare and Wayforward to team up for a Battletoads (NES) Remastered.

SWEET GAME

[Ravenzlayer]

I think that would be a good idea. I never played the first DT on NES, but now with this remastered version, I can see how good the game is. Hope they release in a near future all these games.

[Brian (The Schmaltzy Cynic)]

I'm kind of surprised that they didn't decided to just package a Remastered version of both games as one title. Even if the sequel isn't possibly as good it still would have been awesome.
