BOSTON – March 22, 2013 – Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, ended its panel at the PAX East convention today with the announcement that three titles from its revered catalogue – DuckTales, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara – are making a welcome return on multiple platforms in the coming months.
Originally released in 1989 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, DuckTales was widely acknowledged as one of that generation’s seminal platform titles. Taking its cue from the Disney cartoon series of the same name, DuckTales Remastered follows the adventures of Scrooge McDuck as he explores differently themed worlds to collect their treasures and become the world’s richest duck.
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.
Capcom has confirmed rumors that it will be bringing two Dungeons & Dragons arcade games to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Versions are also planned for the Wii U eShop and Steam.
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara will be available collectively this June.
Thus far, Capcom has revealed that the two titles will support online play highlighted by drop-in, drop-out co-op play, customizable house rules, the original arcade mode with forking paths, and a new challenge system.
Update: Welp, disregard the new Mega Man game news. Capcom’s Brett Elston clarified on Twitter that “discussions are still going”, though the company “will not announce anything until it’s ready”.
Capcom announced 3DS eShop release dates for Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5 at its “World of Capcom” panel at PAX East today.
Mega Man 4 will arrive on April 25. Mega Man 5 is due on May 16. Capcom also mentioned a June launch for Mega Man 6, but did not provide a release date.
Elsewhere during the panel, Capcom spoke briefly about the Mega Man series in general. Although the company did not have any information to present to fans today, it did tease that a new project is in development. News will hopefully be shared by year’s end.
