Item Description
Darkwing Duck swooped onto the NES in 1992, three years after DuckTales, and proved once again that Capcom knew exactly how to translate a Disney Afternoon cartoon into a tight, satisfying platformer. Based on the animated series, the game puts you in the hat and purple cape of Drake Mallard, the self-proclaimed terror that flaps in the night, as he takes on F.O.W.L. and a colorful rogues' gallery from the show. Capcom's pedigree in licensed action games was at its peak in this era, and it shows in every frame.
The gameplay draws heavily on the feel of Mega Man, which is about the highest compliment you can pay a side-scrolling NES action game, and the music comes from Yasuaki Fujita, who also scored Mega Man 3. Darkwing moves with real precision, can duck, grabs onto hooks to reach higher ground and raises his cape to block certain projectiles. His gas gun takes special ammunition: Heavy Gas drops an explosive ball that sends a shock wave across the floor, Thunder Gas fires lightning bolts diagonally up and down straight through walls, and Arrow Gas fires a suction-cup arrow that sticks in walls as a platform to stand on.
You choose the order of the first three stages, with three more opening up after that, and the bosses come straight from the show: the Liquidator, Megavolt, Bushroot and Quackerjack of the Fearsome Five, plus Professor Moliarty and Wolfduck, a villain created for the game. Clear all six and Darkwing heads to F.O.W.L.'s Floating Fortress for a final showdown with Steelbeak. It has that satisfying loop of mastering movement and attack patterns that keeps you coming back.
Darkwing Duck is one of Capcom's finest licensed efforts and one of the more compelling late-era platformers the system produced. GamePro scored it 4.6 out of 5, and Nintendo Power nominated it for Best Overall Game in its 1992 awards. It holds up remarkably well as an actual game, not just a nostalgia artifact, and its sprite work, music and animation punch well above what many contemporaries managed.
