Well I don’t think anyone really expected this. Today at PAX East, during their “World of Capcom,” panel, Capcom announced that WayForward Technologies are currently developing a DuckTales remaster of the original NES game, simply titled DuckTales Remastered.
The company showed off a trailer and told attendees of the panel more info on the game. The coolest aspect of the project is the fact that’s it not just an HD remake, but it’s being almost completely redone. The company says they’ve got WayForward Technologies hand-drawing every sprite used for the game, as well as Disney providing new and original voice talent, and WayForward creating updated music with their company’s composer, Jake Kaufman.
The game will be released for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Wii U eshop for $15 all around. “We’re literally pouring our heart and soul into this title,” said Capcom’s Rey Jimenez. “It’s going to play just like you remember.”
