Day 81, Game 81 - DuckTales

Today was the first day of PAX East, a gaming convention held in Boston, which is a direct result of the overwhelming popularity of the original gaming convention, now called PAX Prime, held in Seattle. Because PAX East is before the mecca of gaming conferences, E3, there usually isn't a lot of huge surprises or reveals, as most companies are already prepping for E3 and would rather make the impact on the biggest stage of them, not before (unless it's their own, of course).

Well, today, was the exception of the rule.

Capcom formerly announced that they were remaking the classic, nostalgic-driven Disney game, DuckTales, in glorious new HD graphics. It is due to be released this summer, for all major consoles as a downloadable title, thus officially making this the best summer of gaming ever. They promised it is the same game as the original, just spruced up with all the fancy bells and whistles of this generations graphics and mechanics, but also adding in at least one addition level.

In other words, one of the most beloved games for children of the late 80's and early 90's is going to make you all warm and fuzzy inside all over again.

I honestly couldn't be happier. I almost died of excitement when I heard about it this morning, and instantly I knew what game I wanted to play tonight. I busted out my old cartridge of DuckTales, blew in to it (as is custom with NES games, for those youngins who might not know what's up), and played it. I beat it to, in just over an hour, because one, that's how I roll, and two, that's just the game. Hard to master at first, but once you get the rhythm down, it's a piece of cake.

Now, I could write a whole lot more about this game, my memories of it, etc. etc., but honestly, there is only one appropriate way to due this blog post justice. I'm going to try and get the theme song stuck in your head, as it has been in mine all day.

Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes - it's a duck blur
You might solve a mystery or rewrite history

Duck Tales, Oo-oo
Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo-oo

D-d-d-danger, watch behind you - there's a stranger out to find you
What to do? Just grab onto some Duck Tales, oo-oo!
Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!

When it seems they're headed for the final curtain
Bold deduction never fails, that's for certain
The worst of messes become successes!

Duck Tales, Oo-oo
Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo-oo
Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!


Still not enough? Maybe you aren't that easily influenced, or maybe you've just never heard the song before, so you have no context to go from. Well, if that's the case, then...

So yeah, you could say I am excited for this. If only for nostalgia sake, the announcement made me a really happy gamer. And playing the old one tonight was fun, refreshing and a good way to start the hype machine.

Isn't a sad, though, how a guy with so many new games to play has been completely derailed back-to-back nights by 25 year old games? That's just how the cookie crumbles, I suppose.
