There are a lot of new and modified elements in DuckTales Remastered. One of the biggest features changed this time around is the game’s story. For instance, players will encounter a brand new tutorial level that will introduce the characters and story, and there’s a full-blown scene explaining why Uncle Scrooge needs to rescue Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

After telling Webby to wait behind, the trio run off and land in a trap soon after. Uncle Scrooge is, thankfully, more than willing to rescue the bunch.

Capcom producer Rey Jimenez discussed DuckTales Remastered’s story changes with Siliconera:

[WayForward] really wanted it to feel like you’re playing the show. In the original NES version, you go in the UFO to find the remote control to open the area to get to the boss. You don’t really know why. The game doesn’t explain it well. In our version, before you even get to the UFO you see Fenton who is Gizmoduck and he gets kidnapped by the UFO. You’re going into the UFO to save him and find all of the parts in Gizmoduck’s suit. Once you get that all together and Fenton turns into Gizmoduck he’s going to escort you back to the area where the door was and he will blast everything out of your way and then blast the door out.
In the NES version, you fight a big rat and it didn’t explain why you’re fighting a rat on the moon. That’s explained in here because there are rats they’re experimenting on and you let them loose and that becomes the rat down there. Also, how does Scrooge McDuck breathes on the moon? We explain that as well.

Much like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Resident Evil: Revelations HD will go live on the Wii U eShop at launch. The standard retail release will be, as always, still available to consumers. But those who prefer to maintain their games digitally will likely be pleased to hear about this news.

According to Capcom’s Christan Svensson:

It should be digital day and date with retail on WiiU and PS3. For PC in North America, it’s already digital only.

Yacht Club on how Shovel Knight differs on Wii U/3DS, future support

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

It’s not often that a game launches on both Wii U and 3DS. But with Shovel Knight, developer Yacht Club Games intends to bring the indie release to both systems’ eShops.

So what will each version bring to the table? On Wii U, off-TV play will be supported, as would the 4-player battle mode – assuming the Kickstarter stretch goal is hit. The 3DS version would feature stereoscopic visuals, and both would offer similar touch screen mechanics.

According to Yacht Club founder Sean Velasco:

“We definitely want to have off-screen play for the Wii U version, and the 3DS will have eye-popping stereoscopic visuals. The touch screen / GamePad screen will likely serve similar functions, although we aren’t sure about that functionality yet. Finally, one of our Kickstarter stretch goals is a 4 player couch-play battle mode, which would not be available on 3DS. We want to take advantage of whatever each platform may offer, while still offering the same core experience.”

As far as future Nintendo support is concerned, Velasco said:

“Right now, more projects seem like a long time away, as we’re very focused on Shovel Knight and the Kickstarter. That said, our minds have often wandered onto follow-ups like Super Shovel Knight, or maybe even Shovel Knight 64! We also have ideas for totally different games, including a couple of projects we already have art and designs for. Recently, the Wii U and 3DS have captured our attention, so I would not be surprised if we ended up with another game on one or the other!”

Shovel Knight funded on Kickstarter

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Shovel Knight has managed to reach its Kickstarter goal. With two weeks remaining, Yacht Club Games managed to collect over $75,000.

The studio said of the news:

We are so appreciative and thankful, we could cry. It’s been a crazy ride, and we still have a long campaign ahead, but WE’RE FUNDED! Were you worried? We weren’t worried. Ok, we were worried.
But! Let the celebration be short! We have lots of updates to put together, and few other goodies.
Check out our awesome Stretch Goals if you haven’t yet, and stay tuned for big excitement tomorrow. I think we’re gonna take the rest of the night off… well, maybe we’ll answer a message or two. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

As mentioned above, while Shovel Knight has been officially funded, there’s still money to be raise. Stretch goals include New Game +, playable boss knights, a 4-player battle mode, and more.
