Update: Bumped to the top of the front page. Game is now confirmed. It’s a remake of the original side-scrolling platformer made by WayForward and features Scrooge as the lead character. It will be available this summer for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Wii U eShop for $15.

New “Tutorial”, “Scrooge’s Money Bin”, and “Museum” areas are included, and the game will make use of a remastered soundtrack. Sprites have been re-created, and will offer 3D environments. “Authetintic” voice talent is on board for the project.

Capcom has two video game announcements planned for PAX East 2013. One reveal is apparently a pair of Dragons & Dungeons games. Word on the street is that the other is some kind of new DuckTales.

NeoGAF member “Gunstarheroes”, who is attending PAX East this week, claims that Capcom’s booth at the show confirms a DuckTales title of some sort. It could be completely original, but I’m personally betting that it’s a remaster of the original NES game released over two decades ago.

Details are not immediately available. However, Capcom did recently confirm that its PAX announcements are digital, so you’ll likely be seeing the DuckTales title on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade – at the very least.
