DuckTales Remastered was the highlight of Capcom’s presence at PAX East. But the company did announce a second title at the expo: Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. For details about the project, read on below.
– “House rules” are included
– These can make the game easier, harder, or different
– Out this June
– Different display options inlcuded
– Original sprites have been uprezzed
– Different filters available that can do things like smoothing or turning scan lines off or on
– Can play in the original arcade aspect ratio, widescreen, or a pseudo arcade mode that superimposes the playfield onto a cabinet frame
– Also an option to mimic the look of playing a game on two distinct cabinet-mounted screens
– Can create public or private games that can be joined on the fly by others thanks to drop-in, drop-out play
– Some game breaking bugs have been addressed such as the ability to make certain characters invulnerable to damage by switching hats, nicknamed the “highlander mode”
– Unclear if the team had removed the naming glitch, that often led to the game freezing or resetting, but it’s likely gone
– House rules: in-game modifiers that can be turned on or off and stacked, that alter the way the game behaves
– Seven rules
– Unlock each with vault points
– Earn vault points by completing a variety of challenges in the game
– Unbreakable: Equippable items have infinite durability
– Enemy rush: A time attack mode where the game clock starts with 30 seconds and the clock increases with each enemy killed
– Vampirism: Gives health for every attack you deal an enemy
– Lockpick: All chests are open
– Hedgehog: Every time you take damage it depletes your gold and if you run out of gold it’s game over
– Elimination mode: Find out who can survive the longest, no bonus points are allowed
– Make It Rain: Enemies and chests drop tons of loot
– Unlockable levels
– Can eventually start from any level of the game
– Iron Galaxy and Capcom worked with current D&D IP owner Wizards of the Coast in recreating this game
“Why Wii U?”, Nintendo asks. What separates a Wii U from a Wii and what makes it better?
Nintendo has outlined the (fairly obvious) differences between the two systems through a retail flyer:
Saw this “Why Wii-U?” flyer at retail today from Nintendo. Speechless. twitter.com/geoffkeighley/…

My question for Nintendo: what’s the point of this? Maybe it’ll help the uninformed consumer…
