Item Description

Scrooge McDuck does not jump on enemies. He bounces on them, cane first, like a feathered pogo stick in a top hat. That one move made Capcom's DuckTales unforgettable on the NES, and in 1990 Capcom brought Scrooge's treasure hunt to the Game Boy with the pogo cane, the globe-trotting stages and his rivalry with Flintheart Glomgold all intact.

The structure is wonderfully open for its era. You pick your destination, from the Amazon and Transylvania to the African Mines, the Himalayas and the Moon, and each stage hides treasure off the main path, rewarding curiosity as much as reflexes. Scrooge's cane doubles as a golf club for smacking rocks out of the way, and the stages are threaded with ropes to climb, mine carts to ride and secret rooms to uncover. It captures the Saturday-afternoon cartoon mood of the era perfectly, with Scrooge's money-bin swagger and Disney charm in every screen.

This is not a simple shrink-down of the NES game. Capcom reworked the level layouts for the smaller screen, so even players who know the console version by heart will find new routes, a redesigned Transylvania maze and boss fights with their own rhythm, from Dracula Duck's quick teleports to a closing race against Glomgold. The music made the trip, too, and hearing those famous melodies rendered on the Game Boy's sound chip is a small joy on its own.

The pedigree is serious. DuckTales was made by key personnel from the Mega Man team, and it sold more than a million copies on both the NES and the Game Boy, becoming Capcom's best-selling title on each system. On the handheld it is the version for taking Scrooge's adventure anywhere, and a different enough take that NES veterans get a fresh set of maps to master.

About the game

DuckTales is a platform game developed and published by Capcom and based on the Disney animated TV series of the same name. It was first released in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 and was later ported to the Game Boy in 1990. The story involves Scrooge McDuck traveling around the globe collecting treasure and outwitting his rival Flintheart Glomgold to become the world's richest duck. Produced by key personnel from the Mega Man series, DuckTales would go on to sell over a million copies worldwide on each system, becoming Capcom's best-selling title for both platforms. The game was praised for its tight control, unique and non-linear gameplay and bright presentation, and is often regarded as one of the best titles for the NES, appearing on numerous "Best of" lists.
