Duck Tales game would be more epic than any Mickey game could be.

The epicness would be biblical if they got the original voice actor to Scrooge McDuck!!!!

It'd be great if they could get Alan Young to do Scrooge again. :D

He's done video game voice acting in the past... Haggis from Curse of Monkey Island, for instance.

Maybe a downloadable remake of the original game? If sales were high enough, perhaps a sequel would be justified.

Hopefully after the success of Epic Mickey they give him the greenlight for this game. He's clearly a big Disney fanboy and knows what he's doing with the characters unlike some really overrated Japanese developer.

Remember when games based on licensed movies/TV shows were actually GOOD?

No?

Licensed games have been pretty crap since they invented licensed games. There were the occasional gems (I would totally be on a Ducktales game, hell yes) but there were also fantastic atrocities (fantastrocities) like:

Total Recall

Actually, that's enough of a list.

Also, I beat that game. Ah, the rental store, foundry of my gaming prowess. I only whatever one game they had out at a time, so it was either beat it or go back to my old games. It definitely engendered a kind of tenacity that's largely unnecessary these days.

This is not a complaint. Nostalgia is crap. Games are better now.

Strangely the NES Rescue Rangers game was also pretty good. (at least, i remember it being good) So was that Mickey Mouse / Donald Duck side scroller I can't remember the name of.

maybe just 8Bit disney licenses were good back in the day?

I have two games for you: Lion King and Alladin. I had both for the SNES, and I played the shit out of them. They were such simple games that they still hold up today.

@ Reuben Alladin! Wow! What a great game. I had it on Genesis and that Magic Carpet level used to kick my ass! I liked Lion King because it had a lot of the movie voices in it.

not necessarily. a lot of platformers and RPGs still hold up really well. chrono trigger is a great example. super mario 64 is 13 years old and it's still great.

@Ruben and @Durden: Aladdin on the SNES and Genesis were completely different games, actually. The Genesis one was fantastic. I never played the SNES one.

I think the Lion King games were the same, though.

Batman on the NES, anyone? It was based on the 1989 Batman movie, and was such a great game. There was also Aladdin on the SNES/Genesis and GOLDENEYE 007 on the N64.

I do. It was because the companies behind the games were actually worthwhile. Nowadays, licensed games are published by big name companies, but made by some small studio that wouldnt make good non-licensed games. If I think about all the licensed games I liked back in the day, Capcom (all the nes/snes disney games, alien vs predator, marvel fighting games/beat em ups), Konami (ninja turtles, the simpsons, x-men arcade), and even Sega (spiderman and some random others) come to mind.

@gavin: thats because they were all made by the same producer.. plus the mickey/donald game youre thinking of was on snes, not nes. but the same producer behind the nes megaman games worked on ducktales, darkwing duck, rescue rangers, aladdin, mickey mouse, and the other disney games ive probably forgotten.

Darkwing Duck was made in to a game, though I don't think it was as good as the Ducktales game.

Ah, Darkwing, how I miss your verbal abuse of Gizmo Duck

darkwing duck / ducktales crossover videogame 4tfw

fly from locale to locale collecting treasure until you're at this jungle where there's a magic barrier. scrooge suspects magicka da spell; can't solve it. launchpad says i know this magic chick and you fly and get darkwing and his sorceress girlfriend whatever the fuck her name. dispell the magic barrier and you find out bushroot is helping to control the jungle. darkwing goes oh hell no let's get dangerous. then you interrogate magicka and find out that megavolt and the beagle boys staged a prison riot from the inside on this island that's supposed to have treasure in a cave somewhere. there are more and more connections like those until you find out it's scrooge's rival behind it all--that guy with the beard and kilt--with negaduck as his right hand. gizmoduck launches some missiles. damn.
