If you want your nostalgia fix, this is the last train to Duckburg, as Capcom will be removing DuckTales: Remastered from sale on digital storefronts. You have until August 8th to grab the game, before licenses expire, and Capcom delists the game from Steam, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. DuckTales: Remastered is currently 75%, starting today, so that fans can buy the game cheap before they lose the chance to do so, forever. If you own the game already, or grabbed it during this sale, you'll be able to keep it and re-download it even after it's been pulled, and of course, any physical releases of the game will still function as well.

...except this game has physical copies on all console platforms? Pretty sure the game will be "preserved" thanks to that, not piracy

Through a Limited Run Games kind of deal? It's better than nothing, but it'd be nice if games that were more successful got a physical release after the fact through more official channels!

 

[XDel]

The original is better anyhow.

 

[lordelan]

Wait, I can still redownload it after its been pulled? I already got the game a while back.

Of course. That's always the case.

Steam reviews are saying the game is broken because the last boss causes a crash. Can anyone confirm this? I'm considering buying it, but not if it's broken.

I've finished it a few times, with no issue (Xbox one).
It's to easy IMO and the NES version is heaps better.

No, it was a mass release by Capcom themselves, it wasn't a limited run release.

crapcom too tightass to renew the license

Loved this game when it came out on my 360. It was one of the only games I could beat on my NES growing up, so the remaster was a blast from the past. The fact they got all the original voice actors from the series was an additional perk to the playthrough. They stayed true to the original and expanded on the story which was also welcoming to me.

Shame it's going away, but this explains why it popped up on sale on my wishlist for $4 yesterday. I instantly bought it before even knowing this news. And yes, i also pirated a copy of it so I can have it forever, even if Steam bites the dust in 50 years.

Boy, I sure love digital distribution!

Is it available for Xbox One?
I see it for Xbox 360....

 

[raxadian]

I bet they are gonna re-release it for Switch, PS4 and whatever current console Microsoft has. And with a price hike too!

 

[eriol33]

I played the game till the end on PC, and I didn't recall any crash. It was a great nostalgia trip. RIP Alan Young.


I think I played the NES version, and later on, only played Duck Tales 2 on my gameboy. When I played the remastered version, I was confused, why I couldn't pull object like I used to do in the gameboy version? turned out I mixed my memory with ducktales 2

You don't need to rebuy old games on Xbox, MS doesn't fuck you over like Sony and Nintendo.

And this is why digital-only releases suck, the game wasn't even launched on the following generation consoles.
Just imagine that this happens to every console in the future, specially in a format like Stadia wants to sell, having access to the game in a fixed life span and after that, being lost forever.
Glad piracy exists in this case and the game will be preserved thanks to that.

Actually, this is not the reason.
If you bought the game, then you can still redownload it after it's removed from the digital stores.
It's similar than physical copies in the way that when the license ¿ends? then the publisher can't make new physical copies so you can't buy it anymore.

digital-only suck because:
- you can't buy it used
- you can't sell it
- you can't "share it" (at least sometimes)
- if the server stops distributing it, then you can't download it again (but this is the similar as "if you lose/break your physical copy", since you can't play it).

 

[Glyptofane]

got the android port ,and ps3 version plays well on chromebook
think dark wing duck schould be next to make proper cartoon movie and nice game to it new and remake of tha old one

Headcannon wanted to remake Darkwing Duck, but Capcom rejected it. There's a prototype with one level available.

you keep saying you can't buy a physical game after they stop making it....but you can...literally any of the millions of copies?

you keep saying if you break your disc its the same as them pulling the game from redownload, it's not I can buy the game again from any of the millions of copies.

Well, if they're out of stock, yeah, you can't buy them.
That's what I meant with that.
Once all copies are sold and the publisher/distributor (forgot which one) can't or won't make new copies... how do you get the game again?
You could find it on second hand market or old stock, but there's no guarantee that you could find it.

And I said SIMILAR, I didn't say it was the same.

Digital distribution is not superior nor is it infallible.
