I have very fond memories of my 8-bit gaming days on the NES. A few that stand out in my head were the Mario Bros series, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Â Yo! Noid, Zelda and Duck Tales. Certainly one can grab all these classics and game to their heart’s content with an emulator, but a remastered version with improved graphics made for mobile is more appealing sometimes. While we certainly won’t see many classic NES titles moving forward to the mobile arena, Disney has seen the future of mobile gaming and has brought one title to consumers across iOS, Android and even Windows devices with the launch of DuckTales: Remastered.
Playing as Scrooge, you will travel to the Himalayas, Amazon, Transylvania, African mines and Moon using Scrooge’s secret map looking for exotic treasure.
I remember having to use Scrooge’s cane as a golf club to hit objects across the screen and as a pogo stick of sorts to hop on enemies and jump to higher levels. The remastered version of the game retains all the elements from its 8-bit glory days along with an expanded storyline, improved graphics, digitally enhanced soundtrack and original voice-overs from the original voice-actors from the series. Heck, they even included over 90 pieces of production art from the original TV series archive.
DuckTales: Remastered is available for purchase today, but you can expect a premium price tag for a premium title classic that has been overhauled for mobile. Head to the Play Store via the link below to get it installed.
