Warren Spector really wants to make a DuckTales game

by Mike Schramm on Aug 13th 2010 8:00AM

When we talked to Warren Spector back at E3 this year, he specifically named the Capcom's DuckTales as one of his favorite Disney games. In a new interview with Industry Gamers, he now says that, "A day does not go by where I don't tell somebody at Disney: 'Uncle Scrooge, come on! Donald! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Come on, let me do a duck game!' So yeah, I would love to do a duck game."

Of course, being the animation geek that he is, Spector prefers the Carl Barks version of Uncle Scrooge and the nephews, so we probably won't get any Fenton Crackshell cameos (even though that would be awesome). If Epic Mickey does take off, you never know what franchise Disney may let Spector put his own spin on next.

This would be the greatest thing ever. I love the show and everything, but having finally picked up the dvds, I'm having a hard time making myself watch them. Here's to hoping he gets to make it.

I'd kill for a new game based on McCay's Little Nemo as well.

The DVD's are great. I had a hard time not just watching them straight through when I picked them up.

@Haelie

Sorry to jump on the back of your comment with no response, I just wondered how the shit this has been posted for so long and no-one's linked to this:

You're welcome Justin!

And only because it's still kids TV:

@Haelie

Also, look what I just found when searching for this post:

Huh.

YES. Make this happen.

If Warren Spector has the moon level with the music from that level but remade, it would be a Day 1 Purchase.

And toss in emulated versions of DuckTales FIRST & 2.

@andrewpoe sad sad you just had to try to cram first into your post and still failed at getting at the top. downvote for you >

@andrewpoe

Upvote andrewpoe, we should all see his fail.

@andrewpoe
Epic Mickey will not be so epic... maybe someone more worthy should handle Duck Tales... maybe Ducksworth.

Life is like a hurricane

@Cap Morgan

here in Ducksburg

@PR0F3TA

Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes

@Huma it's a duck blur

@ohheysean
c-c-combo breaker!

@Cap Morgan

I like the version from Finland.

@ohheysean
You might solve a mystery

@Prince David
Or rewrite history

DUCK TALES!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Rhamsey really wants to play a DuckTales game.

@Rhamsey

MMO or nothing imo.

thanks but no thanks... whats with this fad of bringing back peoples childhood for cheap nostalgia sales. i can get people exited too you know, A flight/combat sim featuring characters from Tales Spin, see.

@PR0F3TA Yeah, I want that too.

And Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers.

@SilverFireshot
we all know what would be the best action game ever Darkwing Duck

@PR0F3TA

Yes, damnit. I'd pay good money for darkwing duck.

Hell, i'd go as far as to actually watch Disney XD if they dredged up old episodes on there.

Darkwing Duck had a game on the NES. I still have the Nintendo Power where it was unveiled. It was basically a re-skinned megaman game, but it was pretty awesome at the time.

Ducktales , ooo-ooh.

:D

A first person rpg/shooter starring JC Denton as Scrooge McDuck.. *nosebleed of awesomeness* O.O

@StrikeFear13 really? turing ducktales into an FPS? what are you on?

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

And may I have some?

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

Ahh jokes that aren't gotten T_T Also, pcp and Windex.

@StrikeFear13
We all got the joke, it was just incredibly stupid.

@gatotsu911
That's nice. Who shit in YOUR cereal this morning?

@StrikeFear13
Sorry, really bad jokes just strike a nerve with me.

HD update of QuackShot on XBLA and PSN. done.

@sskento Quackshot was one of my first Genesis games, and I loved it. It controlled a little awkwardly, but I loved the hell out of it. Popcorn Gun ruled.

Burst me bagpipes!

And I REALLY want Warren Spector to make that game.

It's so strange that Disney and even Warner Brothers have so far passed on thsi Nostalgia craze, when they should be the ones embracing it the most.

We who grew up on it are starting to have kids, and if I had kids I would introduce them to DuckTales way over Philbis and Pherb or whatever that crap is.

@(Unverified) Also I am all for him doing Carl Barks version. No Launchpad, but those old comics age extremely well. They are all very clever and have mystery's that writers today are still ripping off.

@(Unverified) - What would make it even more awesome is if he brings modern Duck master (and Carl Barks superfan) Don Rosa on as a consultant/writer. That would ensure a day one purchase from me!

@(Unverified)

Phineas and Ferb are awesome. You should watch the show. It's made bu people who've worked on Family Guy, The Simpsons and they created Rocko's Modern Life if you recall that one.

@Dante G I'm sure the writing is good. (Turns on old man mode)

My problem with all these modern cartoons are the art. So much time and money went into all those Disney cartoons, that just don't compare to todays toons. All the news ones all have those hard angular lines, with no shading for any of the characters and insipid character design.

It all started with Fairly Odd Parents. A funny show but bland bland bland animation. Since then everyone realized they can make cartoons cheap looking and no one will care. It's like the second coming of Hannah Barbera.

I also approve of bringing Don Rosa on board. Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is an absolute masterpiece in how it took all of Barks loose ends and tied them up into an actual living Duck Universe. The man is a genius and Disney royally screwed him over.

Ahh... the old days...

When I was a kid, licensed games didn't suck like now... we had great games like Chip & Dale, DuckTales, Batman, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mickey Mouse games, Darwin Duck...

Good times...

@FernandoRocker the best Disney game ever was Cold Shadow

NES Ducktales is still one of my favorite games ever! I also have the show on DVD. I would love to see a new game in this series.

@r4in Yeah the NES games were amazing. It is going to be tough to top those Capcom classics.

@r4in
Ducktales on NES was great! I still have it! Looking for Duck Tales 2 on NES if anyone's got it shoot me an e-mail levisemail1337@gmail.com... ^_^

@r4in

Yeah, Duck Tails is easily in my top NES games of all time.

Also I think it's one of the first games I was able to beat.

The Ducktales movie was epic.

No matter how many times I read his name, I can't help but first thing, "Wait... Arlen Specter plays videogames?"

I hope he gets to do this. Any chance he would be interested in Darkwing Duck as well?
