Capcom Remastering DuckTales And Dungeons & Dragons

Posted on Friday, March 22 @ 14:22:25 Eastern by

Starting off the PAX East convention with a bang, Capcom has announced that they are remaking two classics into two new downloadable titles, DuckTales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara which includes both Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara.

For the 1989 NES classic DuckTales, Capcom will be upgrading the 8-bit graphics with hand-drawn and animated sprites, adding a "modern twist" to the original soundtrack, and using voicework from "original Disney Character Voices talent." Players will be given a new tutorial level and can track their stats and progress with global leaderboards. Capcom and WayForward plans to release DuckTales Remastered for Xbox LIVE Arcade, PSN, and Wii U for the summer.

Meanwhile, the two arcade Dungeon & Dragons classics will be given updated HD graphics and combined into a single compilation. Up to four players can play in drop-in/drop-out online hack-'n'-slash goodness, with the added abilities to change the gameplay with new House Rules and to select spells and items using the Wii U GamePad touchscreen. Players can track their character usage and stats with the Character Visualizer, and can earn coins and level-ups by completing goals. Coins can be redeemed in the Vault for unlockables and gameplay perks.

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is slated for June for Xbox LIVE Arcade, PSN, Wii U, and PC for $14.99/€14.99/£11.99/1200 MSP.

    Haha. You're welcome. I was obviously quite fond of the cartoon series. Here's to childhood memories. Cheers.

    I will buy all of these. The D&D beat em ups were my favorite along with streets of rage and golden axe series.

    I've never even heard of the DnD games, but I spent many an hour as a chiled playing DuckTales for the NES. I have vivid memories of Scrooge in space.

    YES! I loved the show as a kid, but somehow never got a chance to play the game, and in recent years I have heard nothing but good things about it. Two things need to happen though to secure my purchase:

    1. Capcom needs to NOT screw this up somehow.
    2. THAT SONG BETTER BE IN IT SOMEHOW!

    The DnD arcade games were rare to see, but they were good games.
    They were like the TMNT or X-Men games, but with more difference between the characters.

    It did get a bit tricky scrolling through a dozen spells while monsters are attacking you.

    If they keep the original NES music for Duck Tales I'll buy in a heartbeat.
