DuckTales: Remastered To Hit the Wii U eShop in Mid-August

Excellent! Glad to know it's just a little over a month away from being released.

Great addition to the Wii U eshop.

Darn I was hoping for July. Oh well.

Looks to be worth the $15

Ducktales woohoo..

Yup. Practically nothing to do at all in July. All the big games of the summer come out August.

Can't wait!!! 1 more month!

Finally! The Money Bin is safe and now I can rest easy at night.

@MrWalkieTalkie

Yeah I wonder why that is. Pikmin 3 is my first pick up in Augest. I guess I'll continue my playthrough of Majora's Mask, and try to pick at Animal Crossing more too.

I really hope we can see the original one come out for the virtual console at the same time!!!

@Kodeen Does anyone actually know when they are going to release that already ? I mean they accounced THAT they are going to, but is there at least a time frame for it ?

Umm...

3:30 That's art from Angry Beavers. What's that doing here?!

Seriously looking forward to playing this on a Nintendo console, the platform the series was birthed on but I may just pick up the PS3 retail version as well. I can see that becoming a potential scarce commodity.

I'll be buying this next month :3

Well, nice to have a date. Any more news on D&D?

To be honest, I never played the original, though I've heard many good things about it. Will definetely give this remastered version a try though!

Can't wait for this! The NES original is one of the best Capcom platformers I've ever played, so it'll be cool to see how the Remastered version holds up--and so far it looks amazing.

@TwilightV "Umm...

3:30 That's art from Angry Beavers. What's that doing here?! "

Holy Crap you're right! http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/25400000/Angry-Beavers-animefan66-my-bestest-friend-eva-25402944-1024-768.jpg

@MrWalkieTalkie kinda weird that, so many games coming out so fast as soon as Aug hits. Feels strange, having had so few games for so long....what are we gonna moan about now?

I still have the original and is looking forward to this one. If this one is successful, hopefully there are room for more Disney remakes like Aladdin, Chip 'N' Dales, Talespin, and Darkwing Duck.

It's gonna be weird if this comes out before D&D.

But still, this looks great. Day one.

I hope they don't make it easier than the original or mess with the mechanics too much.

@Dreamcaster-X Retail version??

Retail version I hope so.

Nah... I looked it up, the retail version is just for PS3 and is a box with a download code in it... what's the point.

I can see why they chose PS3 for this exclusive though, considering Playstation is where it all started at (sarcasm).

@SteveW Well that's pretty lame then. Oh well, saved me $20. Wii U only then!!

Day one DL.

Remastered Duck Tales or Mickey's Castle of Illusion. Can't decide which I'm more excited about.

racecars lazers aeroplanes its a duck blur!

Well that's a pleasant surprise. I may pick that up as a birthday present for myself when it comes out

capcom can remake this but not mega man games hmmmmmm

why does this article not mention the physical versions ?

If I get a WU, I will get this. I might also try getting the original off eBay.

The original NES game was fast paced and like the Super Mario Bros you only got so many lives and then you'd die. I'd have to say the game was harder then Super Mario Bros. (the original) for the NES as you'd have to replay each and every single level over and over again until you beat the final boss.

If they've applied the "we the new generation of gamers can't play games" to this remake, like letting you save your progress or throw in any extra stuff that makes the game easier then even though they've made it look better I have no interest in playing some dumbed down version of a classic game. If it's dumbed down then it's an insult to the original game and its developers.

If not, then count me in!

Lovely - WayForward make extremely polished and fun games. I hope it sells enough to justify the release of the Mickey Mouse game...

Cannot wait for this and Castle of Illusions,

I just hope they've taken advantage of having more buttons on today's controllers. The only thing I didn't like on the original was the awkward button combination of [down] + [A] [B] to do the pogo hop. It always messed me up (...but, then again, I was 10 yrs old).

Life is like a hurricane!

Day 1 for me... well Day 2, seeing as how I get paid on Friday's...

@MrWalkieTalkie
What about Zelda Ages & Seasons or Animal Crossing New Leaf?

Can't wait!!!

Easily day one, I hope they eventually bring the NES classic to the VC too, I would want that version too It will probably come in about 5 months later though, so the remaster can get as much money as possible.

The first Wii U game that I care about buying.

I played this back when I was in elementary school. I will be picking this up when funds allow. Too many "day one" purchases as of late.

@theadrock13 I'm excited for this one too! A definite buy. Might I recommend New Super Mario Bros U- the game is fantastic, as is the New Super Luigi U DLC. A lot of the launch day ports and recent multiplats are also excellent, if you haven't played them on PS3/360 already. Thank goodness the Nintendo exclusives are coming this fall though. THAT'S what I bought my Wii U for- games like Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Windwaker HD, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros 4, Bayonetta 2 and X. Oh yeah, it's about ta get crackalackin in here!
