Gargoyles Remastered

Disney remembers Gargoyles! 👀
Happy to see Disney give enough of a care to acknowledge both Gargoyles AND Monkey Island.
Disney has been remembering Gargoyles over the past few years, which makes me happy as well. Wonder if they'll time the game with the new/re-released comics they announced a month-ish ago.
Also, bring back the Disney Afternoon Collection. The fact that it skipped Nintendo consoles is just... wrong.
@OrangeSoda Boggles my mind that five years later we still don’t have the Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch.
@Tandy255 you took the words right out of my mouth.
@Tandy255 Right?
Gargoyles Remastered was a nice little surprise.
Was really hoping for a pure remaster 🙃
Do the graphics in Disney Speedstorm look 10 times better than Mario Kart? I think Nintendo need to hurry up and make Mario Kart 9 cos MK8 looks crusty even with the new courses
Whaaaaat, it’s getting a remaster? Didn’t think that would happen.
Where's the original Monkey Islahehhehhendddd?? 😭 😭
i wonder if its because they've recently made a killing licensing gargoyles out to neca for toys
Since when has Monkey Island been owned by Disney? First time I ever heard of it (though I suppose it's because it's made by LucasArts).
"Following on from Jungle Book, Alladin and Lion King, Disney will be remastering Gargoyles."
Jungle Book Alladin and Lion King were not remasters, but ports.
Are we just getting a port of a genesis game? Or is it gonna be remastered with new graphics like Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap?
@Fizza I was just thinking the same thing, which is kind of funny with the similarities of Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean.
@MatoFilipovic For added context, that was how it was introduced in the show (Disney basically just referencing some older games it's recently re-released). I've updated this though to avoid any further confusion. It was referred to as "Gargoyles Remastered" during the broadcast, that's about all we know.
@Tandy255
Wikipedia says the atmosphere of Secret of Monkey Island is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland.
The atmosphere is really great in Monkey Island games. I am sure this one will be no different.
Shocked Disney is doing an exclusive game for the Switch. Might be timed, but I'm still surprised. With all the Kingdom Hearts drama, never thought I'd see an exclusive game.
