FDG's DuckTales Joke Was Actually A Real Pitch To Disney, But It Never Got The License

Same thing happened with Epic Mickey.I hope one day they allow Warren to make a 3rd game...

These screens look so good. Wish they would create something with similar art style but different characters.

This looks incredible. A new Ducktales game in full hand-drawn glory like Cuphead would be a DAY ONE for the art alone.

@WaffleKnight also day 1 for me. It looks absolutely incredible!! Way to go Disney for once againg pis*sing on our fires.

That artwork is great. Would love this to have come to fruition. My current self isolation gaming is spread between Animal Crossing and 2D platform games (when I can get my son away from ARMS.)

On a side note 4 days left! Then back to the front line... Cabin fever big time.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I think the point was that they didn’t get the Disney license and the hope is we can see them make something similar without the need for a license.

i wouldve played this.

Quackshot was such a good game. I was JUST thinking about it and how unique the whole plunger gun mechanic was.

Pitch it again until Disney wave their white flag and hands over the license. I think I will pop in Quackshot in my Genesis tomorrow.

@Grahamthecracker reading back you might be right.

I would buy this day one if it ever got to fruition.

This looks incredible. Very disappointing that this never worked out.

Disney’s foolish, by the art alone, this game should be made. Studio has a good track record too.

Oh man i want this. Hope Disney will reconsider. I'd buy this for the art alone.

Love Quackshot on Mega Drive. I got it for Xmas 93 I think (along with Alien 3, Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition and Aladdin) Good times. Was disappointed it wasn’t included on the Mega Drive mini along with Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion 😐

Quackshot is one of my all time favourite games. It was criminal that it wasn't on the Mega Drive Mini and such a shame that this project couldn't get off the ground.

Of course Didney would pass on a great looking game like this

These screenshots look visually gorgeous, but they do not look like something from gameplay. It's hard to see which parts of the screen are ground and which are background, not to mention other objects with collision. So, while these are great concept art, I doubt the actual game would look like this.

That said, I do hope they eventually get to make this game. Looks promising.

Wow... this actually looks great. I would've bought it.

They should definitely make it and more Disney games like the old days , good platform games fun and they look awesome

Aw man, I really need this in my life. Quackshot is up there as one of my faves on the Mega Drive!

Would definitely buy it~!! I remember playing Duck Tales and I loved it to bits.

Too bad we don't have any on Switch ;(

This looks really nice, while you're at it bring that NES Ducktales remake on Switch, I found it really solid.

I think it'd be really neat if they remade Quackshot, I've never played it personally but it looks like a fun game and all my friends seem to hold it in fairly high regard. Also, Rescue Rangers remake please?

They should totally make this game a reality with their own unique characters and story.

This could be a fantastic game. As a joke is just terrible.

I wish someday they make this! It looks lovely, I loved this game back in the day.

What year did they think it was? 1993?

Speaking of Disney, I'm a bit surprised that Disney Afternoon Collection is not on Switch yet. Really good collection!

I love this type of artwork. I would get this one day one as well.

Darn it Disney. I like many of your IPs, characters, and ingenuity, but your executive decisions confuse me anymore. If this game had truly seen the light of day, I would have definitely picked it up. I really enjoyed DuckTales: Remastered.

@Grahamthecracker
QUACKSHOT should have been on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis mini. More so than WORLD OF ILLUSION.

Well, if the rumor is true about Disney in allowing Sora into Smash Bros, then you have your house. House of Mouse will always think the cheese on the floor, in the open, is a trap. Whereas the cheese on the trap is the best answer.

This looks awesome. I'd love to play it, so I hope it gets the go ahead.

They did the right thing by choosing the artstyle of the 2017 DuckTales reboot.

We have so many failed and disliked reboots that make fans of the original pissed, and often they are right, but the DuckTales reboot is one of the few times that not only it lived up to the quality of the original, many people say it surpassed the original.

Considering Disney's stock has dropped from $140 range down to $80 range in less than 2 months, maybe they'll reconsider.

Love that they were planning on using the art style of the new DuckTales. The show is fantastic.

Oh DIsney please reconsider!!

I think they're trying to pull a Deadpool. "Whoops. Here's some footage nobody was supposed to see of something that will drive the internet crazy! I sure hope the hype doesn't cause someone to put this into production!"

This would be an instant day-one buy if it came to fruition, stupid Disney.

That's a shame. The DuckTales reboot is great and has a lot of love for all the previous Duck stories that have gone before, including the games, so you could take the QuackShot name off and stll tie-in to it with Donald.

@GigaNibba Warren Spector retired from gaming unfortunately.

@brandonbwii NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As a joke, it's straight-up cruel. "Thank you for your overwhelming reaction"? What did they even expect?!

OMG I'd love to play this! Somebody make this a thing!!

Perfectly drawn! Would def buy it.

@KoopaTheGamer I think it would be cool if that were to be released for Switch. Though, I do wish Capcom, & Disney would have just worked out something for all their joint-effort games from the Nes/SMD/SNes/GB to be on one cart.

@Everyone_Else I remember seeing Quackshot on a Mega Drive display/kiosk in Sears. Looked like a fun game.

Had they tried to milk the Marvel and Starwars angle they probably would have been green lit considering it's Disney. This looks too good for them to release.

!!!! Really glad I didn’t see ‘that’ article first! Huge DuckTales fan (my dog Webby can attest!), and Quackshot was CLASSIC! This would’ve been yet another reason why I really don’t fancy Guy Fawkes Day...
That said...someone, ANYONE, make this ‘joke’ an award-shattering Reality, Please!!

Looks fantastic! They should release this immediately.
